How CrowdStrike's ISO Certificate Sets AI Security Standards

CrowdStrike, global leader in AI-native cyber security, has received ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification, setting an industry standard in responsible AI innovation in the security domain. 

ISO 42001 provides enterprises a globally-recognised framework as new AI standards and regulatory expectations emerge.

The ISO certification stamps its prestige across the core CrowdStrike Falcon platform capabilities, which include CrowdStrike Endpoint Security, Falcon Insight XDR and CrowdStrike Charlotte AI.

The certification can be seen as validation of CrowdStrike’s disciplined, externally-audited approach to the responsible design, development and operation of AI-powered cybersecurity. 

“CrowdStrike is among the first cybersecurity companies to achieve ISO 42001 certification, the world’s first AI management system standard,” says Michael Sentonas, President of CrowdStrike. 

“For a cybersecurity vendor, responsible AI governance is foundational.  This certification validates the maturity, discipline and leadership behind how we develop and operate AI across the Falcon platform.”

AI-Accelerated Threats Demand AI-Powered Protection

The ISO certification comes at a critical time, as AI-enabled threats are challenging cyber defence systems around the world.

As AI is weaponised to scale attacks faster than defenders can respond, CrowdStrike’s AI-powered protection offers the speed, precision and control needed to outpace AI-accelerated threats safely and at scale.

While embracing AI-powered cybersecurity, proper governance standards, regulation and accountability are mandatory to prevent introducing more risks while using intelligent AI for automating defence. 

CrowdStrike’s AI-native Falcon platform is coded to continuously analyse behaviours to deliver real-time protection.

“AI is transforming every industry while creating new attack surfaces: stolen models, poisoned data, manipulated agents, hijacked cloud workloads and the list goes on,” writes Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer at CrowdStrike, on LinkedIn.

“CrowdStrike delivers unified protection across the complete AI stack – from compute to cloud, data to models, agents to applications. We give enterprises what they need most: confidence to innovate with AI, secure AI, and lead in the AI era.”

CrowdStrike pioneers responsible agentic ai transformation 

CrowdStrike’s Charlotte AI defines cybersecurity in the agentic era, as it has the potential to elevate analysts “from alert handlers to orchestrators of the agentic SOC”.

CrowdStrike deploys intelligent agents which have been trained on data from veteran SOC operators of Falcon Complete to automate tedious tasks across the ecosystem so as to free analysts to focus on bigger picture security questions.

For organisations that want specifications uniquely applicable to their security ecosystem, CrowdStrike's Charlotte AI AgentWorks, can be used to build the agent of required calibre, without writing even a single line of code.

To create the environment for third-party and custom build agents to play nice and work as a coordinated defence system, enterprises can use CrowdStrike’s orchestration layer: Charlotte Agentic SOAR.

Enterprise-grade agentic AI systems that operate under human expertise with complete oversight, visibility and governance are a strategic requirement to keep organisations safe from cyber attacks. 

Having this layer of security from an ISO certified provider also ensures compliance with industry standards and signals a step towards responsible AI innovation.
