CrowdStrike
introduced Charlotte AI, a new generative AI
cybersecurity analyst that democratizes security and helps every user of
the CrowdStrike Falcon platform - from novice to security expert -
become a power user. Customers can use Charlotte AI to address many of
the most critical challenges facing the security community, including
closing the cybersecurity skills gap and speeding the response time to
stay ahead of adversaries.
Utilizing the world's highest-fidelity security data that is
continuously improved through a tight human feedback loop, Charlotte AI
lets customers ask natural language questions - in English and dozens of
languages - and receive intuitive answers from the CrowdStrike Falcon
platform. With Charlotte AI, every user, regardless of skill level,
becomes faster and more efficient responding to events of all types,
including advanced threat detection, investigation, hunting, remediation
and more.
Bringing the Generative AI Era of Cybersecurity to Life
Currently available in private customer preview, Charlotte AI initially addresses three common use cases:
-
Democratizing Cybersecurity - Every User Becomes a Power User: With
Charlotte AI, everyone from the IT helpdesk to executives like CISOs
and CIOs can quickly ask straightforward questions such as "What is our
risk level against the latest Microsoft vulnerability?" to directly gain
real-time, actionable insights, drive better risk-based decision making
and accelerate time to response.
-
Elevate Security Analyst Productivity with AI-Powered Threat Hunting: Charlotte
AI will empower less experienced IT and security professionals to make
better decisions faster, closing the skills gap and reducing response
time to critical incidents. New security analysts, such as a Tier 1
member of a SOC, will now be able to operate the CrowdStrike Falcon
platform like a more advanced SOC analyst.
-
The Ultimate Force Multiplier for Security Experts: Charlotte AI
will enable the most experienced security experts to automate repetitive
tasks like data collection, extraction and basic threat search and
detection while making it easier to perform more advanced security
actions. It will also accelerate enterprise-wise XDR use cases across
every attack surface and third-party product, directly from the
CrowdStrike Falcon platform. Hunting and remediating threats across the
organization will be faster and easier by asking simple natural language
queries.
Generative AI and the CrowdStrike Data Difference
Generative AI has the power to be a democratizing force in
cybersecurity, but its ultimate impact will be determined by the
quality, context and completeness of the underlying data. Charlotte AI
utilizes the world's highest-fidelity security data, which includes the
trillions of security events captured in the CrowdStrike Threat Graph,
asset telemetry from across users, devices, identities, cloud workloads
and CrowdStrike's industry leading threat intelligence.
The most critical set of data - and one unique to CrowdStrike - is
CrowdStrike's human-validated content. Charlotte AI will uniquely
benefit from a continuous, human feedback loop from across CrowdStrike®
Falcon OverWatchTM managed threat hunting, CrowdStrike Falcon® Complete
managed detection and response, CrowdStrike Services, and CrowdStrike
Intelligence. This massive data set of human intelligence used to stop
breaches in the real world is wholly unique to CrowdStrike, and as it
has with AI from the start, only CrowdStrike brings this powerful
combination of security telemetry, threat intelligence and
human-validated content together into cybersecurity's most powerful data
fabric.
"Since our founding, CrowdStrike has pioneered the use of artificial
intelligence in cybersecurity to identify adversary behavior and combat
sophisticated attacks to stop breaches. With the introduction of
Charlotte AI, we're delivering the next innovation that will help users
of all skill levels improve their ability to stop breaches while
reducing security operations complexity," said Mike Sentonas, President
of CrowdStrike. "Our approach has always been rooted in the belief that
the combination of AI and human intelligence together will transform
cybersecurity. We believe our continuous feedback loop on
human-validated content is critical, and because of this, no other
vendor will be able to match the security and business outcomes of
CrowdStrike's approach to generative AI."
