NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

Over the past 12 months, CrowdStrike set the standard for securing the fastest growing attack surface in the modern enterprise: AI itself.

The Falcon platform already delivered the foundation to secure AI, protecting the environments and models where AI runs, preventing sensitive data from leaving endpoints and cloud workloads, and securing AI agents across the SaaS stack. Through organic innovation, acquisitions, and partnerships, CrowdStrike raised the bar for securing AI – enabling organizations to innovate faster, with confidence.

Pangea Acquisition and Falcon AIDR GA:
In September 2025, CrowdStrike announced its intent to acquire Pangea. In December, the company announced the GA of Falcon AIDR, extending the Falcon platform to secure a frontier security challenge: prompt injection. Adversaries are injecting hidden instructions into GenAI tools to weaponize the very systems transforming how work gets done. Falcon AIDR secures every prompt, response, and agent action in real time.

SGNL Acquisition:
In February 2026, CrowdStrike closed its acquisition of SGNL to transform identity security for the AI era. SGNL brings continuous, real-time authorization and zero-standing privilege enforcement across human, non-human, and AI agent identities. In a world where AI agents operate with autonomy and superhuman speed, static permissions no longer work. Continuous, risk aware enforcement is essential.

Seraphic Acquisition:
Also In February 2026, CrowdStrike closed its acquisition of Seraphic to secure AI execution where work actually happens – live browser sessions. As AI agents increasingly interact with SaaS applications and enterprise data through the browser, Seraphic delivers runtime controls during execution – preventing data exfiltration and unauthorized actions inside active sessions.

By securing identity, interaction, and execution on a single cloud-native architecture, CrowdStrike delivers complete protection across customers’ AI infrastructure, defining the blueprint for securing AI.

The World’s Leading AI Innovators Secure with CrowdStrike:
Validating security for AI leadership, the world’s AI leaders – including AWS, CoreWeave, NVIDIA, and Salesforce – deepened partnerships with CrowdStrike to secure AI innovation across the enterprise ecosystem.

Jensen Huang, CEO at NVIDIA said, “AI will also supercharge cybersecurity challenges…We need an incredible defender. I can’t imagine a better defender than CrowdStrike.”
