The emergence of artificial intelligence has caused the cybersecurity sector to be experiencing an accelerated transformation. And, the speed with which companies and administrations are adopting intelligent models and agents has multiplied the exposure points to attacks. In this context, Crowdstrike has acquired Pangea, with the aim of expanding the coverage of its Falcon platform towards a new category that aims to become a standard: detection and response in AI (AD).
AI as a new terrain of attack
The expansion of generative artificial intelligence in companies of all sizes has brought with it an unexpected challenge: each interaction with a model can become a gap. Unlike traditional threats, risks are not limited to endpoints or networks, but reach Prompts, digital identities, cloud loads and sensitive data used in automated processes.
George Kurtz, CEO and founder of Crowdstrike, summarizes the moment: “IA is reconfiguring the business attack surface at a vertiginous speed. Each prompt becomes an entry point for cybercriminals.” And he adds that, thanks to Pangea, the company can “ensure the entire life cycle of the AI, detecting risks, applying safeguards and guaranteeing normative compliance, so that our clients can create, deploy and climb with confidence and without risk.”
A new category: detection and response in AI
Crowdstrike already revolutionized corporate security with its focus on detection and response in Endpoints (EDR), which today is a reference of the sector. The challenge is now to transfer that same logic to artificial intelligence. The acquisition of Pangea will allow Falcon to offer the first complete system of A, unifying visibility, compliance and control from the development phase to the daily use of models in the business environment.
In practice, this translates into integral coverage that goes beyond the SAAS agents or cloud protection. Pangea expands security to the critical interaction layer, where employees, applications and processes talk to AI. In this way, organizations can shield not only data and models, but also the dynamics of using chatbots, co -pilots and autonomous agents.
Five protection axes
The integration of Pangea in Falcon is articulated around five major advantages:
- Full -by: Visibility on AI and workflow agents, with detection, response and regulatory compliance in a single framework.
- Defense against Prompt Injection attacks: Protection against attempts to handle models or jailbreaks, with 99% efficacy and minimal latency.
- Control of the use of AI: Conversations monitoring with chatbots and government policies to stop risk activities.
- Security throughout the development cycle: Tools for developers and security equipment integrating protection from the initial phase.
- Innovation without friction: Safeguards ready to use that allow us to accelerate displays without sacrificing control.
At the point of view of cybersecurity
Artificial intelligence does not live only in corporate networks. Their foundations are built in data and public clouds, while adoption occurs in endpoints and access managed by human and non -human identities. This dispersion turns AI into an especially attractive attack surface for cybercriminals. Crowdstrike seeks to anticipate this scenario extending its leadership towards the ground where risks grow faster.
Oliver Friedrichs, CEO and founder of Pangea, defines it as follows: “Pangea was founded with the mission of making the adoption of AI be safe, offering companies the visibility and guidelines necessary to adopt the AI with confidence. By joining Crowdstrike, we can make this vision on a global scale, unifying the security in the AI with the first Complete detection and response platform in the industry ”.
