CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. today announced the general availability of Falcon AI Detection and Response, a service that extends the company’s Falcon platform to secure the artificial intelligence prompt and agent interaction layer.

CrowdStrike says AIDR is the industry’s first unified platform that secures every layer of enterprise AI, including data, models, agents, identities, infrastructure and interactions, from development through workforce usage.

The offering applies the same architectural advantage used in CrowdStrike’s endpoint security to AI to protect the interaction layer where AI systems reason, decide and take action. The interaction layer is being targeted by attackers, who CrowdStrike says are using hidden instructions to hijack agents, manipulate outcomes and access sensitive data.

AIDR delivers unified, real-time protection across development workflows and workforce AI usage, securing prompts, responses and agent actions at enterprise scale across the AI interaction layer. Features include the ability to see AI everywhere, with in-depth visibility into how employees use AI and how agents operate with runtime logs for compliance and investigations. It blocks prompt injection attacks, jailbreaks and unsafe content in real time, powered by intelligence from deep research and known prompt injection techniques.

The service stops risky AI use in real time, including blocking interactions, containing malicious agent actions and enforcing policy controls in real time; protects sensitive data by automatically detecting and blocking credentials, regulated data and other sensitive information and can accelerate secure AI innovation by supporting the building of secure applications and agents with built-in safeguards for developers.

“Prompt injection is a frontier security problem. Adversaries are injecting hidden instructions into generative AI tools to weaponize the very systems transforming how work gets done,” said President Michael Sentonas. “Falcon AIDR secures every prompt, response and agent action in real time, extending the power of the Falcon platform to the interaction layer and delivering complete protection across our customers’ AI infrastructure.”

With Falcon AIDR as part of the Falcon platform, CrowdStrike says, it’s delivering a unified security model for AI and protects environments where AI runs to the interaction layer where prompts and agents operate.

Sentonas spoke with theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio, in September, when he discussed how CrowdStrike’s Enterprise Graph aims to redefine AI-era security.
