Announcing Threat AI: Security’s First Agentic Threat Intelligence System

CrowdStrike is unveiling groundbreaking innovations across Counter Adversary Operations. Threat AI, a system of AI-powered agents built on the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, is the industry's first agentic threat intelligence system. It provides mission-ready agents to reason, hunt, and take action against any stage of adversary activity. In addition, the new Threat Intelligence Browser Extension for Google Chrome extends intelligence everywhere analysts work.

AI is rewriting the rules of cybersecurity. Adversaries now use AI across the attack lifecycle to scan for vulnerabilities, generate exploits, create malware, and adapt in real time to bypass defenses. Activity that once took months can now happen in seconds, collapsing the defender's time to respond. To keep up, SOC teams must rethink how they operate. The cyber workforce must evolve to take on AI-powered adversaries with tools that quickly deliver clear, actionable outcomes.

Threat AI goes beyond delivering context. It reasons across data, proactively hunts for threats, and decisively takes action. Threat AI automates complex workflows like malware analysis and threat hunting, and surfaces actionable recommendations when analysts need them most. By embedding world-class expertise directly into every SOC, Threat AI helps defenders concentrate on high-impact investigations while remaining firmly in command.

This new system is built on the elite expertise of CrowdStrike's intelligence analysts, threat hunters, and Services experts, who track more than 265 of the world's most sophisticated nation-state, eCrime, and hacktivist groups. These teams know how to outthink adversaries and stop the most complex threats. CrowdStrike's ability to stop breaches has always depended on them. Now, their expertise is embedded into Threat AI.

The launch of Threat AI includes the first of many Threat AI agents: the Malware Analysis Agent and the Hunt Agent. Together, they automate two of the most complex and time-consuming analyst workflows to deliver elite expertise to every team.

Malware Analysis Agent: Instant Clarity, Scaled Defense

The Malware Analysis Agent automates one of the most complex analyst workflows: reversing, classifying, and comparing malware. By reasoning on files, it researches hashes, extracts configurations, compares code similarities, and recommends responses in seconds instead of hours.

Unlike basic analysis tools, the Malware Analysis Agent:

• Delivers intelligence context that includes adversary attribution and tradecraft
• Identifies related files across malware families
• Automatically generates YARA detection rules to scale defenses
• Retrohunts across previously collected files to uncover new threats

The Malware Analysis Agent doesn't just explain malware - it creates adaptive defenses by turning fragmented observables into actionable insights and feeding intelligence directly into broader threat hunting workflows.

Hunt Agent: Always-On Expert Hunting

Many security teams struggle with threat hunting because they don't know where to start or what to look for, or they lack the time or expertise to craft effective queries. Some attempt to bridge the gap with manual research or applying "what-if" scenarios, but these approaches are time-consuming, inconsistent, and often miss emerging threats.

The Hunt Agent delivers threat hunting capabilities that constantly scan environments for emerging threats, focusing the hunt on the most important assets and highest risks. The Hunt Agent turns complex hunting results into clear, actionable guidance. Hunters receive intuitive explanations and straightforward next steps, enabling them to quickly interpret findings and take decisive action. These hunts are based on CrowdStrike intelligence and constantly updated to include the latest threats.

We're also excited to announce the CrowdStrike Threat Intelligence Browser Extension, now generally available. This Chrome extension integrates CrowdStrike's trusted adversary intelligence directly into the browser, giving analysts instant context as they conduct external research.

With threat intelligence at their fingertips, analysts can:

• Access adversary insights in real time without breaking workflow
• Accelerate investigations with immediate context for IOCs, vulnerabilities, and malware
• Save time and make faster, better-informed security decisions

The extension embeds threat intelligence where analysts already work, transforming everyday browsing into part of the investigation process.

See it in action:

Adversaries have crossed a critical threshold with AI-powered attacks that adapt faster than human teams can respond. Legacy threat intelligence tools weren't built for this reality - they create more noise, more alerts, and more manual work.

With the newly announced capabilities of Threat AI and the general availability of CrowdStrike Threat Intelligence Browser Extension, CrowdStrike is democratizing expert-level intelligence and hunting by giving every security team the tools and expertise to defend at machine speed. This isn't just about saving time - it's about reclaiming the advantage.

CrowdStrike is committed to continuous innovation: developing cutting-edge AI capabilities, expanding adversary intelligence coverage, and evolving the Falcon platform to help keep customers ahead of emerging threats.
