CrowdStrike announces an AI Kill Switch for enterprise agents
CrowdStrike announced an AI Kill Switch in Falcon Guardian intended to stop misbehaving internal agents, block relaunch, and cut enterprise network access. The controls apply within connected enterprise environments, not to arbitrary copies of a model. The announcement also described intended acquisitions of Fiddler AI and Dreadnode.
