Insider threats pose a growing risk to organizations. Whether insiders take malicious actions, exhibit negligent behavior, or make accidental errors, they have the potential to cause significant harm to an organization’s assets, sensitive data, and reputation. Insiders can pose a variety of risks, from stealing confidential data and intellectual property to disrupting systems.

CrowdStrike has been named a Customers’ Choice in the 2026 Gartner Peer Insights “Voice of the Customer for User Authentication” report. For the second consecutive year, CrowdStrike has the highest volume of verified reviews and more 5-star ratings (129) than any other vendor in the report based on 179 overall responses in the 2026 report.

Most SOC teams don’t struggle with what they need to automate — they struggle with where to start. Between complex playbooks, brittle integrations, and the fear of breaking something in production, security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) often feels harder to adopt than it should be.

Adversaries are continuously evolving their tactics, techniques, and procedures to evade both legacy and AI-native defenses, and they’re using AI to their advantage. Stopping them requires a new approach: humans and AI working together. While AI can correlate massive volumes of telemetry at machine speed, pattern recognition alone is not enough to stop modern attacks. Training on detections teaches models what happened, but not why it mattered.

External attack surfaces are expanding faster than most organizations can track. Internet-facing cloud services, network devices, commercial AI tools, and third-party infrastructure are driving the growth of unintended exposure outside security teams’ control.

Web shells remain one of the most potent weapons in an adversary’s arsenal, particularly when targeting Linux servers and containers. These malicious scripts serve as powerful remote access tools with capabilities such as process execution, filesystem access, and tunneling of network connections.

OpenClaw, an open-source AI agent previously known as Clawdbot and Moltbot, is a powerful personal assistant that can connect to LLMs, integrate with external APIs, and autonomously execute an array of tasks like sending email or controlling browsers. While OpenClaw carries the promise of AI-driven productivity, it also presents growing security concerns. OpenClaw is installed on local machines or dedicated servers.

CrowdStrike has been recognized as a Customers’ Choice in the 2026 Gartner Peer Insights Voice of the Customer for Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) Tools report, a distinction based entirely on reviews from verified users. CrowdStrike received the top customer ratings across product capabilities and highest rating for deployment experience of all the vendors evaluated.

The CrowdStrike Falcon platform has once again delivered a perfect score in the SE Labs October 2025 Enterprise Advanced Security (EDR) Ransomware test: 100% detection accuracy, 100% protection accuracy, 100% legitimate accuracy, and 100% total accuracy — with zero false positives.

AI is reshaping business at machine speed. From automating claims to improving customer engagement, organizations are embedding AI into core workflows faster than most security teams can track. As AI systems expand, they introduce a new class of security considerations. AI no longer lives in a single layer of the stack. It runs on cloud infrastructure, processes sensitive data, and operates through a growing network of human and non-human identities.
