On May 26, 2026, at 14:00 UTC, the CrowdStrike Counter Adversary Operations team executed a coordinated takedown of the Glassworm botnet, a global threat targeting software developers through the open-source supply chain. In collaboration with Google and the Shadowserver Foundation, we struck all four of Glassworm's command-and-control (C2) channels simultaneously, severing the operators from their infected machines and their ability to deliver new malicious payloads.

Two recent industry reports validate CrowdStrike’s leadership in the identity threat detection and response (ITDR) market: Identity is the front line of modern cyberattacks. Today’s adversaries log in and use legitimate identities to move laterally, escalate privileges, and operate inside legitimate sessions as trusted users.

AI represents a fundamental shift in how organizations work and innovate. It demands an equally fundamental shift in how technology leaders approach governance. Forward-looking leaders are moving beyond traditional gatekeeping by creating "paved roads": secure, pre-approved pathways that embed security controls, automated data protections, and real-time monitoring directly into AI workflows so teams can innovate rapidly within safe boundaries.
