CrowdStrike bets on agentic AI with new Falcon data layer and security operations center agents

CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. today used the opening of its annual Fal.con 2025 conference in Las Vegas to roll out innovations that address the growing need for enhanced security in the age of artificial intelligence: the Agentic Security Platform and the Agentic Security Workforce.

Both new products are part of the company’s blueprint for securing enterprises and their security operations centers in what it calls the “agentic era” of artificial intelligence.

“The old model can’t keep up,” CrowdStrike Chief Executive George Kurtz (pictured) told 8,000 attendees of the conference this morning during his keynote. “The legacy SOC can’t compete.” Instead, he said, what’s needed is an “agentic SOC.”

The Agentic Security Platform is designed to solve a fundamental problem: legacy enterprise architectures that were never built for the realities of AI-driven operations. According to CrowdStrike, the answer is a new AI-ready data layer, built natively for the agentic era and tightly integrated into the Falcon platform.

The new offering is powered by what CrowdStrike calls the Agentic SOC, a security operations center where data, intelligence, agents and governance are unified into one environment.

The new platform is centered around an “Enterprise Graph,” which unifies telemetry from across the enterprise into a living, connected model with one query language built for AI. The graph employs a single, AI-optimized query language that makes every signal instantly actionable, whether by a human analyst or an autonomous agent.

Complementing the graph is Charlotte AI AgentWorks, which CrowdStrike calls the industry’s first no-code platform for building, testing, deploying and orchestrating trusted security agents at large scale. The system is intended to let security teams set the mission, define the data and control agent behavior without writing code, opening up agent-building to a far broader range of users.

The Agentic Security Platform includes an operating center that connects all agents through the Model Context Protocol and applies Falcon-grade governance for safe, large-scale collaboration. The center also features a dynamic, persona-aware design that uses natural language queries and role-specific workspaces to simplify analyst experience.

The second release today, the Agentic Security Workforce, takes these ideas further by putting AI-powered agents directly into the hands of customers.

Agentic Security Workforce seeks to address the issue whereby security analysts are drowning in repetitive, time-consuming tasks, while traditional defense cannot stop AI-speed threats. The company’s answer is a fleet of security agents, trained on millions of expert SOC decisions with reasoning and guardrails.

The new offering goes beyond co-pilots by introducing what CrowdStrike calls Agentic Response Collaboration. The feature allows Charlotte AI agents to securely connect and interoperate with trusted third-party agents and automates critical Falcon-native workflows.

The company describes the customer benefits as both practical and strategic: eliminating repetitive tasks, enabling customized workflows, centralizing agentic defense under Falcon’s governance framework and pointing toward a future in which analysts and agents operate side by side.
