Five steps for enterprises to close the visibility gap
1. Unify security platforms – replace siloed tools with single-agent solutions that integrate identity, endpoint and cloud visibility.
2. Invest in AI-powered detection – leverage machine-speed analytics to spot anomalies missed by legacy systems. 3. Protect AI models and agents – deploy AI-SPM and tools like Falcon Shield to secure non-human identities.
4. Prioritise identity security – treat identity as the new perimeter with continuous monitoring of access and activity.
5. Enable human-AI collaboration – balance autonomous defences with expert threat hunting to combine speed with precision.
Malware-free intrusions explained behaviours and enabling automatic containment through unified platforms.
How can AI be used to defend against adversaries’ weaponisation of AI?
As attackers weaponise AI, organisations must adopt AI-powered defences. Autonomous capabilities that reason, prioritise and act across identity, endpoint and cloud data in real time allow organisations to move beyond assisted workflows to autonomous operations that accelerate detection and response.
CrowdStrike’ s Charlotte AI Detection Triage shows the strength of agentic AI security. It autonomously
• Living off the land: adversaries use built-in tools like PowerShell or WMI to move inside networks without deploying malware.
• Legitimate credentials: attackers log in as real users with stolen usernames and passwords, bypassing detection.
• Fileless techniques: threats operate in memory, leaving no trace on disk for traditional antivirus to catch.
• Hands-on-keyboard activity: attackers actively explore systems in real time, adapting tactics as defenders respond.
• Blending with normal traffic: adversaries disguise malicious actions as routine processes, making detection difficult.
validates and prioritises threats with over 98 % accuracy, saving security teams up to 40 hours a week on manual triage.
Built on a bounded autonomy framework, Charlotte AI ensures human oversight. Analysts can set thresholds, define review points and maintain control while still benefiting from automation.
This blend of trusted AI capabilities and expert-led hunting equips organisations to counter AI-driven adversaries with machine speed and human precision.
