CrowdStrike Named Frost & Sullivan’s 2026 Global Enabling Technology Leader in Zero Trust Browser SecurityJuly 1, 2026 12:29 PM
Business Wire Enforcing continuous in-session protection across any browser on managed and unmanaged devices establishes Falcon Secure Access as the new standard for browser security CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it has been named Frost & Sullivan’s 2026 Global Enabling Technology Leader in Zero Trust Browser Security. The browser has become the operating environment for modern work, where employees access email, SaaS applications, collaboration tools, customer data, and AI services. All this activity makes the browser a high-value target for attackers – sitting between users, identities, applications, and sensitive enterprise data. Existing security models either force users into ‘walled garden’ enterprise browsers or rely on high-latency network routing. Powered by technology from CrowdStrike's acquisition of Seraphic, Falcon Secure Access defines a new model for secure access, enforcing protection directly within any browser runtime. This allows users to work in their browser of choice while eliminating the latency of network routing – turning any browser into a secure enterprise browser without forcing change or slowing productivity. “This disruptive model redefines browser security, and positions CrowdStrike as a catalyst for change in the global Zero Trust Browser Security market,” the report stated. "Forcing users into a dedicated browser or routing traffic through a proxy is not a security strategy; it's a tax on productivity," said Elia Zaitsev, chief technology officer, CrowdStrike. "By enforcing protection directly within any browser runtime, Falcon Secure Access delivers the flexibility the workforce demands and the security the business requires. This is browser security built for the modern enterprise." Combined with technology from CrowdStrike's acquisition of SGNL, Falcon Secure Access advances CrowdStrike's Next-Gen Identity Security strategy, creating a seamless security fabric that protects every interaction from the endpoint, through the browser session, and into the cloud. Key report findings include: Making Any Browser a Secure Enterprise Browser “CrowdStrike delivers unparalleled visibility and control across all browser types, including Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, and emerging AI browsers.” A New Model for Security and Productivity “The cybersecurity industry has long grappled with the challenge of securing browser-based activity without degrading performance or user experience. Falcon Secure Access addresses this challenge through a groundbreaking innovation: a JavaScript runtime security module injected at the engine level, rather than relying on traditional browser extensions.” Securing Enterprise AI CrowdStrike secures how GenAI applications and agents are accessed through the browser, preventing shadow AI from scraping or exfiltrating sensitive data. Frost noted how the “ability to secure AI browsers and Electron apps (e.g., VS Code GPT integration) at the engine level addresses blind spots in traditional SASE/CASB models.” Security Wherever the Workforce Works CrowdStrike provides protection for contractors and third parties, and everywhere employees work: “Falcon Secure Access secures both managed and unmanaged devices, and supports mobile and desktop environments.” Unified Architecture CrowdStrike closes the gaps fragmented security stacks create: “Falcon Secure Access and the Falcon platform deliver on the company’s vision of stopping breaches by integrating with its Zero Trust Score, malware scanning, SaaS Security (SSPM), identity security, and SIEM telemetry.” To learn more about CrowdStrike’s recognition as Frost & Sullivan’s 2026 Global Enabling Technology Leader in Zero Trust Browser Security, visit here.

CrowdStrike Named a Leader in the 2026 IDC MarketScape for Worldwide SIEMJune 23, 2026 8:04 AM
Business Wire Organizations transform security operations with Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, establishing the Falcon platform as the operating system of the agentic SOC CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide SIEM 2026 Vendor Assessment.1 We believe this recognition reflects how CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM is transforming security operations at global scale, as organizations replace legacy SIEMs to build the agentic SOC on the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform. Legacy SIEMs were built for a threat environment that no longer exists. As AI-enabled adversaries attack across domains at machine speed, legacy architecture forces security teams to stitch together telemetry from disconnected sources, increasing complexity and imposing a tradeoff between cost and security. IDC found "73 percent of organizations ingest less than 75 percent of the data needed to fully monitor their environments." That gap creates the blind spots where attackers operate. Falcon Next-Gen SIEM closes this gap through a structural advantage no legacy vendor can match. The IDC MarketScape noted, “For SIEM buyers, the breadth of native telemetry sources and the consolidation pitch are central: Many of the data feeds traditionally routed into a SIEM, including endpoint, identity, and cloud signals, originate inside the Falcon platform itself.” “Legacy SIEMs were built to record what happened; Falcon Next-Gen SIEM is built to stop the adversary,” said Ajit Sancheti, GM, Falcon Next-Gen SIEM at CrowdStrike. “Our structural advantage starts with the data that defines modern detection already living on the Falcon platform, and Charlotte AI is now the reasoning engine across Falcon, triaging alerts, correlating cross-domain telemetry, and automating investigation at machine speed.” Falcon Next-Gen SIEM Is the Operating System of the Agentic SOC Falcon Next-Gen SIEM has proven itself a scaled market disruptor, with performance and cost advantages that set it apart from legacy SIEMs, exceeding $600 million in ending ARR.2 Organizations are replacing legacy SIEMs and consolidating fragmented tooling on a single platform, benefiting from better economics, faster search, and autonomous response through Charlotte AI's triage that eliminates swivel-chair alert management. The IDC MarketScape for CrowdStrike notes: Endpoint, identity, cloud, and exposure data already collected by the Falcon platform flow into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM without re-ingest fees and without external stitching. Customers report that this design eliminates duplicate ingest costs and shortens onboarding for organizations that already run the Falcon sensor. In September 2025, CrowdStrike acquired Onum, a real-time data pipeline vendor, and integrated it as the data routing layer for Falcon Next-Gen SIEM. Charlotte AI provides a set of generally available agents for detection triage, response, hunting, malware analysis, exposure prioritization, data onboarding, search analysis, correlation rule generation, data transformation, and workflow generation, plus AI-generated parsers and natural-language investigation. Falcon Flex licensing lets organizations shift committed spend across Falcon modules over time, and customers describe the ingestion-based pricing model as transparent compared with credit-based alternatives.

CrowdStrike’s Open Gateway Ecosystem Makes Falcon AI’s Control PlaneJune 16, 2026 10:12 AM
Business Wire With a growing ecosystem of AI gateway partners – including Databricks, Google Cloud, JetStream Security, Kong, LiteLLM, Maxim AI, Microsoft Azure, and TrueFoundry – CrowdStrike extends the Falcon platform to unify visibility, protection, and control across AI CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it is extending CrowdStrike Falcon® AI Detection and Response (AIDR) across leading AI gateway partners, including Databricks, Google Cloud, JetStream Security, Kong, LiteLLM, Maxim AI, Microsoft Azure, and TrueFoundry, delivering AI’s security control plane. As enterprises move AI into production, AI traffic spans multiple gateways, APIs, and models, fragmenting visibility and increasing exposure to prompt injection, data leakage, and adversary manipulation. Securing AI requires visibility and control across this interaction layer, where prompts, agents, and models operate in real time. CrowdStrike addresses this by extending Falcon AIDR through native integrations with its AI gateway partners. The result: correlated telemetry, threat detection, and consistent policy enforcement as AI scales. "Every enterprise has AI in production across multiple gateways, models, and APIs. That's not a future state, it's today's attack surface,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. “With Falcon AIDR and our AI gateway ecosystem, CrowdStrike makes the Falcon platform AI’s security control plane, so organizations benefit from unified visibility and protection wherever their AI runs." This open ecosystem approach will expand CrowdStrike Falcon® platform protection across the AI stack: Protect AI at the gateway: Integrations with Azure API Management, Databricks, Google Cloud, JetStream Security, Kong, LiteLLM, Maxim AI, and TrueFoundry apply threat detection, data protection, access controls, and policy enforcement directly to AI interactions – without requiring changes to existing architectures. Secure the AI interaction layer: Falcon AIDR protects prompts, responses, agents, and models – stopping prompt injection, jailbreak attempts, and data exposure in real time. Unify visibility across AI activity: Capture and correlate telemetry across users, applications, gateways, and models to expose hidden risk. Enforce protection in real time: Inline controls enable immediate enforcement without disrupting AI workflows. Extending across the Falcon platform: AIDR feeds Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM, enabling cross-domain detection and response across AI, endpoint, identity, cloud, SaaS, and third-party data sources. With a growing ecosystem of AI gateway partners, CrowdStrike is extending the Falcon platform to bring AI security together, giving organizations the visibility and control to scale AI with confidence.

CrowdStrike Unveils Continuous Identity for AI AgentsJune 15, 2026 1:42 PM
Business Wire CrowdStrike replaces static policies and standing privileges with continuous, risk-aware enforcement, authorizing every agent action based on who owns it, who is calling it, and real-time risk Identiverse 2026 – CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced Continuous Identity for AI Agents, a new CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen Identity Security capability that reinforces the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform as the identity security control plane for the agentic enterprise. As AI agents operate with superhuman speed and access, legacy models built on static policies and standing privileges break down – granting access without context, blind to real-time risk. CrowdStrike delivers a fundamentally different model: every agent action continuously authorized in real time based on who owns the agent, who is calling it, and the risk posture of their device – evaluated against native and third-party risk signals on the Falcon platform. “AI agents are transforming how work gets done, and how identities must be secured,” said Elia Zaitsev, chief technology officer, CrowdStrike. “Point-in-time authorization becomes a legacy approach the second agents are given autonomy. Authorize once and trust indefinitely is not a security model; it's a liability. That's the shift CrowdStrike is driving, from static, one-time access decisions to Continuous Identity.” Securing AI Agent Identities AI agents invoke tools, access sensitive data, call APIs, and delegate to sub-agents at machine speed with system-level privilege. Legacy access models were never built to control this. Continuous Identity for AI Agents – powered by technology from CrowdStrike's recent acquisition of SGNL – dynamically grants, denies, and revokes access based on real-time risk, eliminating standing privileges entirely. Verifiable Agent Identity: Every agent is assigned a cryptographically verifiable identity based on the SPIFFE standard, an open standard that replaces static credentials like API keys with automated, secure workload identities. Context-Aware Authorization: Access is evaluated based on who owns the agent, who is calling it, and the risk posture of their device. When an agent delegates to a sub-agent, that context is preserved throughout the chain. Zero Standing Privilege: Access is granted the moment it’s needed and revoked the moment it’s not. Defense in Depth: Continuous Identity ensures agents operate with only the privileges they need. Falcon® AI Detection and Response (AIDR) continuously inspects prompts and intent to detect permission misuse or attempts to manipulate an LLM beyond its authorized scope, triggering Continuous Identity to revoke access before damage is done. Continuous Identity for AI Agents extends CrowdStrike’s risk-aware authorization across every identity – human, non-human, and AI agent – from initial access to privilege escalation and lateral movement spanning on-prem, SaaS, browser, and cloud environments.

CrowdStrike Named Frost Radar Leader in Cloud Runtime Security for Second Straight Year (CRWD)June 11, 2026 10:41 AM
IH Market News The cybersecurity company earned the top Growth and Innovation ranking as enterprises increasingly prioritize runtime protection for cloud and AI workloads. Key Investor Takeaways CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) was named the Growth and Innovation Leader in Frost & Sullivan’s 2026 Cloud and Application Runtime Security Radar for the second consecutive year. The recognition highlights CrowdStrike’s growing position in cloud runtime security, cloud detection and response (CDR), and AI workload protection. Frost & Sullivan ranked CrowdStrike highest among evaluated vendors for both growth and innovation. The report emphasized the industry’s shift from posture-focused cloud security toward real-time runtime detection and response. Growing adoption of AI workloads may expand demand for the company’s cloud-native cybersecurity platform. Why CRWD Stock Is In Focus CrowdStrike announced that Frost & Sullivan named the company the leader in its 2026 Frost Radar: Cloud and Application Runtime Security report for the second consecutive year. According to the report, CrowdStrike achieved the highest scores among all evaluated vendors in both Growth and Innovation categories. Frost & Sullivan highlighted several areas where CrowdStrike differentiated itself, including cloud runtime security, Cloud Detection and Response (CDR), and its ability to correlate security telemetry across cloud infrastructure, workloads, identities, applications, data, and AI services through a unified platform. The report also pointed to CrowdStrike’s capabilities in protecting AI workloads, an area receiving increasing attention as enterprises deploy more artificial intelligence applications and infrastructure. Why This Matters for Investors While analyst and industry rankings do not directly generate revenue, they can provide insight into competitive positioning within rapidly growing technology markets. The recognition comes as organizations increasingly focus on securing cloud environments and AI workloads. As AI adoption expands, cybersecurity vendors are competing to position themselves as core infrastructure providers capable of protecting complex, cloud-native environments in real time. Frost & Sullivan’s findings suggest CrowdStrike continues to benefit from the industry’s transition toward runtime-first security models, where threats are detected and addressed during execution rather than relying solely on identifying vulnerabilities before attacks occur. The report’s emphasis on unified security architecture may also be relevant for investors because enterprises often seek platform consolidation to reduce operational complexity and security costs. CrowdStrike’s strategy of integrating cloud, identity, data, endpoint, and AI security into a single platform aligns with that trend. What To Watch Next Investors will likely monitor several areas going forward: Continued adoption of CrowdStrike’s cloud security and CDR offerings. Growth in AI workload protection and related security products. Competitive positioning against other cloud-native cybersecurity vendors. Revenue contribution from cloud and AI-focused security services. Enterprise demand for consolidated cybersecurity platforms. As cloud computing and AI deployments continue to expand, CrowdStrike’s ability to convert its market leadership position into sustained customer growth and recurring revenue will remain a key focus for investors.

CrowdStrike Named the Frost Radar™ Leader in Cloud and Application Runtime Security for Second Consecutive TimeJune 11, 2026 8:06 AM
Business Wire CrowdStrike ranked highest in Growth and Innovation among all vendors as runtime-first security becomes the standard for cloud and AI workload protection CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it has been named the Growth and Innovation Leader in the 2026 Frost Radar™: Cloud and Application Runtime Security for the second consecutive time, scoring highest of all vendors evaluated. As AI workloads and frontier model risk expose the limits of posture-only defense, organizations are turning to runtime-first security on the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform to stop breaches in real time. Frost & Sullivan highlighted “CrowdStrike’s growth in runtime security is supported by the broader market shift from posture-centric cloud security toward runtime detection and response” and noted this shift aligns “directly with CrowdStrike’s strengths in cloud workload protection, real-time CDR, and integrated response.” “Posture management surfaces risks. Runtime security stops breaches. The market is choosing platforms that deliver both,” said Elia Zaitsev, chief technology officer, CrowdStrike. “As adversaries weaponize frontier AI models to collapse the window between vulnerability and exploit, CrowdStrike delivers real-time protection at the point of execution, stopping breaches before impact.” Key report findings include: Runtime-First Cloud Security
Frost & Sullivan highlighted CrowdStrike’s “clear advantage” in cloud runtime security delivering “faster cloud threat detection, investigation, prioritization, and remediation within existing SOC workflows, not through the management of separate cloud security operations.” Real-Time Detection and Response
As the pioneer of Cloud Detection and Response (CDR), the report identified “CrowdStrike’s most differentiated capability is CDR” citing its “real-time detection architecture” that reduces “latency from minutes to seconds” and enables “automated cloud response actions.” Unified Architecture
CrowdStrike closes the gap between cloud risk and runtime defense, uniting posture management and detection and response in a single CNAPP. CrowdStrike’s “core value proposition” is its “ability to correlate telemetry across cloud infrastructure, workloads, identities, applications, data, and AI services” through “a unified platform for prevention, detection, investigation, and response across major multi-cloud and hybrid environments.” Protecting AI Workloads
As enterprises race to deploy AI, cybersecurity has become foundational AI infrastructure. Frost recognized CrowdStrike’s recent AI innovations “reinforce its differentiation as a vendor that connects cloud risk, workload behavior, AI workload exposure,” in a single, unified platform “for better risk management and threat detection & response.” To learn more about the 2026 Frost Radar™: Cloud and Application Runtime Security, visit here and read our blog.

CrowdStrike Shares Retreat Despite Strong ARR Growth, Higher Guidance and Stock Split (CRWD)June 4, 2026 6:28 AM
IH Market News CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) delivered better-than-expected results for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, driven by accelerating demand for AI-powered cybersecurity solutions. The company reported record growth in annual recurring revenue (ARR), strong cash generation and improved profitability, leading management to raise its outlook for the full year and approve a four-for-one stock split. Despite the strong headline figures, the stock came under pressure in premarket trading on Thursday, falling more than 10% as investors focused on a sharp increase in operating expenses. Total operating costs rose to $1.07 billion during the quarter, compared with $934.3 million in the same period last year, highlighting the company’s continued investment in growth initiatives, artificial intelligence capabilities and platform expansion. Revenue for the quarter reached $1.39 billion, representing a 26% year-on-year increase and exceeding analyst expectations of $1.36 billion. Subscription revenue, which remains the core of CrowdStrike’s business model, also grew 26% to $1.32 billion. Annual recurring revenue climbed 24% from a year earlier to $5.51 billion. The company generated a record $255.8 million in net new ARR during the quarter, reflecting continued customer adoption and expansion across its cybersecurity platform. Chief Executive Officer George Kurtz said the growing convergence between artificial intelligence and cybersecurity is creating a significant opportunity for the company. He pointed to strong customer demand, increasing partner engagement and continued market-share gains as key factors behind the decision to raise CrowdStrike’s fiscal 2027 ARR expectations. Profitability also improved significantly. Adjusted net income increased to $283.4 million from $184.7 million a year earlier, while adjusted earnings per share rose to $1.10 from $0.73. Management now expects fiscal 2027 revenue to range between $5.91 billion and $5.96 billion, while adjusted earnings per share are projected at $4.88 to $4.96. The company also increased its forecast for net new ARR growth, citing a healthy second-quarter sales pipeline, strong customer retention rates and continued momentum for its Falcon Flex platform. Analysts at Bank of America said AI adoption is “driving accelerating demand, but durability remains the key debate.” “The key question remains whether this represents a durable reacceleration cycle or a more front loaded demand step up,” they noted, while raising their price target on the stock to $750 from $535. Bernstein analysts also acknowledged the company’s strong positioning in the AI security market. “stock price remains the only thing holding us back from recommending CrowdStrike.” “We raise our growth duration ~1% point in the next few years due to AI tailwinds,” they added. AI Security Expansion Continues CrowdStrike continued to expand its artificial intelligence strategy during the quarter through a series of partnerships and product initiatives. Among the key developments was Project QuiltWorks, a collaboration involving OpenAI and Anthropic, as well as the rollout of the Charlotte AI AgentWorks platform developed alongside AWS, NVIDIA and OpenAI. The company also introduced additional AI-driven security capabilities and cloud protection features across its Falcon platform, further strengthening its position in one of the fastest-growing segments of the cybersecurity industry. Management believes that increasing enterprise adoption of AI technologies will create greater demand for security solutions capable of protecting AI models, data and cloud environments, providing a significant long-term growth opportunity. Four-for-One Stock Split Approved Separately, CrowdStrike’s board approved a four-for-one stock split through a stock dividend. Shareholders recorded on June 25 will receive three additional shares for every share owned. Trading on a split-adjusted basis is expected to begin on July 2. The move is designed to improve share accessibility and liquidity following the stock’s substantial appreciation over recent years.

Stock-based compensation expense has been revised to reflect immaterial prior period adjustments. 2. Effective second quarter fiscal year 2026, we adopted a 21.0% long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate, reduced from the previous rate of 22.5%, in connection with the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. This rate reflects the anticipated tax benefit from earning income outside the U.S. while retaining intellectual property within the U.S. The change is applied prospectively, and the tax rate for prior periods remains unchanged. 3. Adjustments are related to the difference between the GAAP provision for income taxes and non-GAAP provision for income taxes. 4. For periods in which we had diluted non-GAAP net income per share attributable to CrowdStrike common stockholders, the sum of the impact of individual reconciling items may not total to diluted non-GAAP net income per share attributable to CrowdStrike common stockholders because of rounding differences.

CrowdStrike uses the following non-GAAP financial information to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. CrowdStrike believes that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, as these measures eliminate the effects of certain variables unrelated to CrowdStrike’s overall operating performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Other companies, including companies in CrowdStrike’s industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of CrowdStrike’s non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate CrowdStrike’s business. Change in Non-GAAP Measures Presentation Effective second quarter fiscal year 2026, CrowdStrike adopted a 21.0% long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate, reduced from the previous rate of 22.5%, in connection with the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. This rate reflects the anticipated tax benefit from earning income outside the United States (U.S.) while retaining intellectual property within the U.S. The change is applied prospectively, and the tax rate for prior periods remains unchanged. Non-GAAP Subscription Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Subscription Gross Margin CrowdStrike defines non-GAAP subscription gross profit and non-GAAP subscription gross margin as GAAP subscription gross profit and GAAP subscription gross margin, respectively, excluding stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and strategic plan related charges (benefits), net. Non-GAAP Income from Operations CrowdStrike defines non-GAAP income from operations as GAAP income (loss) from operations excluding stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets (including purchased patents), acquisition-related expenses (credits), net, mark-to-market adjustments on deferred compensation liabilities, legal reserve and settlement charges or benefits, costs (recoveries) associated with the July 19 Incident and related matters, net, and strategic plan related charges (benefits), net. Non-GAAP Net Income Attributable to CrowdStrike CrowdStrike defines non-GAAP net income attributable to CrowdStrike as GAAP net income (loss) attributable to CrowdStrike excluding stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets (including purchased patents), acquisition-related expenses (credits), net, mark-to-market adjustments on deferred compensation liabilities, legal reserve and settlement charges or benefits, costs (recoveries) associated with the July 19 Incident and related matters, net, strategic plan related charges (benefits), net, amortization of debt issuance costs and discount, losses (gains) and other expense (income) from strategic investments, and losses (gains) on deferred compensation assets, and is adjusted for its long-term non-GAAP effective tax rate. Non-GAAP Net Income per Share Attributable to CrowdStrike Common Stockholders, Diluted CrowdStrike defines non-GAAP net income per share attributable to CrowdStrike common stockholders, as non-GAAP net income attributable to CrowdStrike divided by the weighted-average shares outstanding, which includes the dilutive effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Free Cash Flow Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that CrowdStrike defines as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, capitalized internal-use software and website development costs, and purchases of and proceeds from deferred compensation investments, net. CrowdStrike monitors free cash flow as one measure of its overall business performance, which enables CrowdStrike to analyze its future performance without the effects of non-cash items and allows CrowdStrike to better understand the cash needs of its business. While CrowdStrike believes that free cash flow is useful in evaluating its business, free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that has limitations as an analytical tool, and free cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to, or substitute for, net cash provided by operating activities in accordance with GAAP. The utility of free cash flow as a measure of CrowdStrike’s liquidity is further limited as it does not represent the total increase or decrease in CrowdStrike’s cash balance for any given period. In addition, other companies, including companies in CrowdStrike's industry, may calculate free cash flow differently or not at all, which reduces the usefulness of free cash flow as a tool for comparison. Explanation of Operational Measures Annual Recurring Revenue ARR is calculated as the annualized value of CrowdStrike’s customer subscription contracts as of the measurement date, assuming any contract that expires during the next 12 months is renewed on its existing terms. To the extent that CrowdStrike is negotiating a renewal with a customer after the expiration of the subscription, CrowdStrike continues to include that revenue in ARR if CrowdStrike is actively in discussion with such an organization for a new subscription or renewal, or until such organization notifies CrowdStrike that it is not renewing its subscription. Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate CrowdStrike's dollar-based net retention rate compares its ARR from a set of subscription customers against the same metric for those subscription customers from the prior year. CrowdStrike's dollar-based net retention rate reflects customer renewals, expansion, contraction and churn, and excludes revenue from its incident response and proactive services. Dollar-based net retention rate as of period end is calculated by starting with the ARR from all subscription customers as of 12 months prior to such period end, or Prior Period ARR. CrowdStrike then calculates the ARR from these same subscription customers as of the current period end, or Current Period ARR. Current Period ARR includes any expansion and is net of contraction or churn over the trailing 12 months, but excludes revenue from new subscription customers in the current period. CrowdStrike then divides the Current Period ARR by the Prior Period ARR to arrive at its dollar-based net retention rate. Dollar-Based Gross Retention Rate Dollar-based gross retention rate as of the period end is calculated by starting with the ARR from all subscription customers as of 12 months prior to such period, or Prior Period ARR. CrowdStrike then deducts from the Prior Period ARR any ARR from subscription customers who are no longer customers as of the current period end, or Current Period Remaining ARR. CrowdStrike then divides the total Current Period Remaining ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at its dollar-based gross retention rate, which is the percentage of ARR from all subscription customers as of the year prior that is not lost to customer churn. Definition of Module Adoption Rates Module adoption rates are calculated by taking the total number of customers with six or more, seven or more, and eight or more modules, respectively, divided by the total number of subscription customers (excluding Falcon Go customers). Falcon Go customers are defined as customers who have subscribed with the Falcon Go bundle, a package designed for organizations with 100 endpoints or less.

CrowdStrike Named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Protection for Seventh Consecutive TimeMay 29, 2026 11:23 AM
Business Wire CrowdStrike positioned furthest right for Completeness of Vision and highest for Ability to Execute among all vendors evaluated for fourth time in a row CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Protection1 for the seventh consecutive time. CrowdStrike was also positioned furthest right for Completeness of Vision and highest for Ability to Execute among all vendors evaluated for the fourth time in a row. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260529975572/en/Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection CrowdStrike pioneered AI-native endpoint security and is defining the future of AI Detection and Response. AI has triggered an endpoint renaissance, with agents executing, deciding, and acting on the endpoint with system-level privilege at machine speed. CrowdStrike's endpoint business has accelerated for consecutive quarters as enterprises move to secure AI where it runs.2 “AI executes on the endpoint and is creating the largest security demand driver since enterprises moved to the cloud,” said Michael Sentonas, president of CrowdStrike. “As agents take actions, access sensitive data, and interact with critical systems, they must be secured in real time, at the point of execution. We feel this recognition reflects our excellence in endpoint security today and how we are defining the next category of security for the AI era.” Securing AI on the Endpoint As AI agents gain autonomy and system-level privilege, the endpoint is the control point for modern security. It’s where agents execute commands, access data, and trigger downstream workflows often indistinguishable from legitimate user activity. CrowdStrike secures AI at runtime on the endpoint – delivering real-time visibility and enforcement over AI behavior, automatically discovering AI applications and agents, and inspecting prompts and interactions to stop injection attacks, data leaks, and policy violations at the point of execution. CrowdStrike sensors detect more than 1,800 distinct AI applications running on enterprise devices, representing nearly 160 million unique application instances across its customer base, the largest dataset of AI agent behavior in cybersecurity.3 Agent actions do not remain on the endpoint, and securing AI requires extending protection across organizations' AI infrastructure.   1Gartner, Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection, Deepak Mishra, Evgeny Mirolyubov, Nikul Patel, 26 May 2026 2Q4 FY26 Earnings 3Q4 FY26 Earnings CrowdStrike’s unified platform architecture extends continuous, risk-aware protection across human, non-human, and AI agent identities, cloud runtime environments, as well as SaaS applications and live browser sessions where work happens. In addition, Charlotte AI – with usage growing more than 6x year-over-year and ARR more than tripling4 – powers the agentic SOC, automating high-friction workflows and stopping breaches at machine speed across the enterprise attack surface. “CrowdStrike introduced us to a new standard of endpoint security and has secured our innovation journey ever since,” said Jairo Orea, global chief information security officer, Royal Caribbean Group. “As AI becomes central to how we operate, CrowdStrike gives us the visibility and control we need to adopt it confidently; they are the platform we trust to secure AI where it runs.” In January 2026, CrowdStrike was named a Customers’ Choice in the 2026 Gartner Peer Insights™ ‘Voice of the Customer’ for Endpoint Protection Platforms report, with the most 5-star ratings of any Customers’ Choice vendor.5 To learn more about CrowdStrike’s recognition in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Protection, please visit our website and read our blog.

A Microcap Just Staked a Claim in the AI Agent Security Land GrabMay 29, 2026 9:48 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of Integrated Cyber Solutions Inc. dba Integrated Quantum Technologies (CSE: ICS) (OTCQB: IGCRF) (FSE: Y4G)As enterprises rush to deploy autonomous AI agents, a new security problem is emerging that the old cybersecurity playbook wasn't built for — and a small Vancouver-based company just put a flag in the ground with a framework called MASQ.USA News Group News Commentary NEW YORK, May 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Every few years, enterprise technology produces a category that didn't exist the year before. In 2026, that category is AI agent security. Autonomous AI agents — software that can reason, make decisions, and take actions across a company's systems without a human pressing every button — are moving from pilot projects into production at remarkable speed. And with them comes a problem the traditional security stack was never designed to solve: how do you control what an AI agent is allowed to see, what it's allowed to do, and how its internal reasoning is protected while it's doing it? Integrated Cyber Solutions Inc., doing business as Integrated Quantum Technologies (CSE: ICS) (OTCQB: IGCRF) (FSE: Y4G), just announced its answer. The company has initiated the patent process for MASQ™ — short for Machine Action Security Quotient — a governance and security framework built specifically for AI agents and autonomous AI systems.What MASQ is actually trying to solveThe pitch is straightforward once you see the problem it targets. Today's AI agents don't just answer questions; they connect to APIs, call external tools, query enterprise databases, and increasingly talk to other agents through emerging plumbing like MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. Each of those connection points is a place where an agent could access something it shouldn't, take an action nobody authorized, or leak sensitive information held in its working memory.MASQ is designed to sit across those control points and govern four things: what permissions and actions an agent is authorized to perform; what enterprise systems and data it can reach; how it interacts with APIs, external tools, and MCP servers; and — the most distinctive piece — how the sensitive information inside an agent's context window, internal attention states, and reasoning environment is protected during machine-to-machine interaction. That last element is the part most traditional cybersecurity architectures simply don't address, because they were built to protect networks and endpoints, not the live reasoning state of an autonomous machine."AI agents are becoming increasingly autonomous and interconnected, and organizations will require governance systems capable of controlling not only what agents can access and execute, but also how sensitive contextual reasoning data is protected during machine-to-machine interaction," said Jeremy J. Samuelson, EVP, Artificial Intelligence & Innovation at Integrated Quantum, who joined the company in January 2026 after serving as Principal Data and AI Scientist for Digital Identity Engineering at Equifax and is credited as the inventor of the company's VEIL technology. "This patent initiative reflects our continued focus on building foundational infrastructure for secure enterprise AI deployment."A piece of a bigger platformMASQ isn't a standalone bet. The company intends it to become a core component of its broader AIQu™ platform — a security-first, privacy-preserving, and what the company describes as quantum-resilient AI infrastructure layer. AIQu's first commercial product, VEIL™ (Vector-Encoded Information Layer), is the company's patent-pending technology aimed at protecting sensitive data across the enterprise AI and machine-learning pipeline by reducing the need to expose raw data in the first place. The company also markets a SecureGuard360™ cybersecurity platform and a managed-services offering.It's worth being precise about where MASQ stands today, because the language matters. The company has initiated the patent process and engaged intellectual property counsel — this is the beginning of a filing effort, not a granted patent or even, on its face, a completed application. MASQ is described as "being developed." For investors, that distinction is the difference between a roadmap and a shipping product, and it should be read as the former. The company's earlier AIQu provisional patent filing (30 claims, filed in January 2026) is a separate matter from this MASQ initiative.Why the timing is the storyThe reason a framework like MASQ is getting attention has less to do with this one microcap and more to do with how fast the surrounding market is moving. The numbers from the established players tell the story.In January 2026, Gartner projected that AI-cybersecurity spending — covering both securing AI and using AI to defend — would grow at a roughly 74% compound annual rate from 2024 through 2029, more than double the growth rate of AI spending overall. That is the kind of forecast that pulls every serious security vendor into the space, and they have arrived. The agentic-AI-security category now has real product from the largest names in cybersecurity, which is both validation of the thesis and a sharp reminder of how much competition a microcap faces.How IQT sits among the companies defining this spaceTo understand the market MASQ is entering, it helps to look at what the established public companies are already shipping. These are not peers of IQT in scale — they are giants, and the contrast is the point: IQT is a microcap staking an early claim in a category these companies are pouring resources into.CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) has moved aggressively into agentic security, launching its Charlotte AI AgentWorks ecosystem and tools explicitly designed to secure AI agents and govern "shadow AI" across endpoints, SaaS, and cloud. CrowdStrike's scale — and the breadth of its launch partners — illustrates how central agent governance has become to the enterprise security roadmap.Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW) made the category's biggest statement by completing its roughly US$25 billion acquisition of identity-security leader CyberArk in February 2026, explicitly to secure "human, machine, and agentic identity." That deal — one of the largest in cybersecurity history — is the clearest possible signal that controlling what autonomous agents can access and do is now seen as foundational infrastructure, not a niche feature.Okta (NASDAQ: OKTA) has reframed identity itself around the agentic era with "Okta for AI Agents," a platform (generally available April 30, 2026) built to discover both sanctioned and unsanctioned AI agents, treat them as governed identities, and apply lifecycle controls. Okta's framing — that identity becomes a runtime system continuously evaluating what an agent does — maps closely to the problem MASQ describes.SentinelOne (NYSE: S) introduced Prompt AI Agent Security, a real-time discovery and governance control plane for AI agents and agentic workflows that explicitly enforces policy across MCP servers operating in a customer's environment — the same machine-to-machine connection layer MASQ targets. SentinelOne's product is perhaps the closest functional analog to what IQT describes, deployed at enterprise scale.The honest takeaway from that lineup cuts both ways. On one hand, the presence of CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, Okta, and SentinelOne validates that AI agent governance is a real and rapidly growing market. On the other, it means a pre-revenue microcap with a framework still in development is entering a field crowded with extraordinarily well-resourced incumbents. Both things are true at once, and investors should hold them together.The market-awareness pieceAlongside the MASQ news, IQT announced two business-development moves. It appointed Euroswiss Capital Partners Inc., a Switzerland-based capital-markets advisory firm, as a strategic marketing and financial-advisory partner under a 12-month, non-exclusive consulting agreement (fixed fee of $100,000) to raise the company's profile across central Europe; an affiliate of Euroswiss holds 200,000 common shares, and the agreement was negotiated at arm's length. Separately, the company entered an investor-awareness agreement to support North American financial-news distribution. These are visibility initiatives — the kind small-cap issuers commonly use to broaden their investor reach — and they should be understood as marketing arrangements rather than indicators of commercial traction for MASQ itself.The bottom lineMASQ is an early-stage idea aimed squarely at a real and fast-growing problem. The thesis behind it — that autonomous AI agents need a governance layer purpose-built for what they can access, what they can do, and how their reasoning is protected — is being independently validated by the largest companies in cybersecurity, which are spending billions to address exactly that. That's the bull case.The bear case is equally plain: IQT is a microcap that has initiated a patent process on a framework still in development, in a category where it competes against some of the best-capitalized security companies on the planet. Whether MASQ becomes a defensible product, a licensed piece of intellectual property, or simply an early marker of ambition is a question that only execution — and time — will answer. What the company has done is plant a flag in one of the most consequential enterprise-technology shifts of the decade. What it builds on that claim is the part still to be written.For full company detail and ongoing updates, visit IQT's USA News Group landing page: https://usanewsgroup.com/ics-landing/Contact:USA News Group

CrowdStrike Expands Project QuiltWorks with Cyber Insurance Industry Leaders to Combat Financial Exposure to Frontier AI RiskMay 28, 2026 9:16 AM
Business Wire With Coalition, Liberty Mutual Insurance, Lockton, Resilience, and Marsh, CrowdStrike advances the coordinated model for how frontier AI risk is identified, remediated, and financially mitigated CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced the next evolution of Project QuiltWorks, extending the industry framework from securing frontier AI risk to mitigating financial exposure. As frontier AI accelerates vulnerability discovery and compresses exploitation timelines, leaders from the cyber insurance industry – Coalition, Liberty Mutual Insurance, Lockton, Resilience, and Marsh – bring actuarial intelligence, underwriting expertise, and financial protection to the framework. QuiltWorks is the industry's first model that spans technical discovery and prioritization, expert remediation, and financial mitigation – giving organizations and their boards a complete picture of frontier AI exposure and a coordinated framework to act on it. "Frontier AI risk doesn't stop at technology, it lands on the balance sheet," said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer, CrowdStrike. "Project QuiltWorks is the only framework that delivers the technology to identify and prioritize, the services to remediate, and the financial protection to secure against it. That's how CrowdStrike defines the standard." Frontier Economics of Cyber Risk Frontier AI is reshaping the economics of cyber risk, accelerating vulnerability discovery, compressing exploitation timelines, and expanding organizations' financial exposure to attacks. In this new reality, insurers are raising the bar, and, through Project QuiltWorks, helping organizations build the security controls, visibility, and remediation frameworks they need to obtain and maintain coverage. A Coordinated Model for Risk Mitigation Powered by frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic, Project QuiltWorks combines CrowdStrike’s AI-driven vulnerability discovery and adversary-informed prioritization with remediation services from the world’s top systems integrators. With the addition of leading cyber insurers and brokers, the framework extends beyond technical risk reduction to financial risk modeling, underwriting intelligence, and coordinated financial mitigation. The result is a coordinated model that gives insurers the confidence to underwrite frontier AI risk and organizations the protection to mitigate it. Financial Risk Modeling: Actuarial expertise and insurer risk intelligence helps organizations – and their boards – gain a precise measure of their financial exposure to frontier AI risk. Exposure Prioritization: Adversary intelligence, vulnerability telemetry, and underwriting insights combine to prioritize the exposures most likely to drive operational and financial loss – going beyond CVSS scores to what adversaries and insurers both know matters most. Underwriting Confidence: Continuous visibility into risk exposure and proven remediation frameworks give insurers the intelligence to confidently underwrite frontier AI risk, and organizations a clear path to obtaining and maintaining the coverage their business demands. Coordinated Risk Mitigation: CrowdStrike, insurers, and ecosystem partners create a continuous feedback loop – combining AI-driven vulnerability discovery, adversary intelligence, expert-led remediation, and claims data – to identify, prioritize, remediate, and financially mitigate frontier AI risk at scale. Supporting Partner Quotes “Frontier AI is collapsing the window between vulnerability and loss, which makes continuous visibility and proactive risk mitigation more important than ever. Coalition’s approach combines continuous cybersecurity monitoring, response, and expert guidance with comprehensive insurance coverage to help organizations reduce their exposure before an incident can become a claim. Project QuiltWorks extends our approach to frontier AI risk, helping organizations better understand their potential exposure through security intelligence and take action through coordinated remediation before an attack can lead to a financial loss.” - Tim MalcomVetter, General Manager, Security, Coalition "Frontier AI is accelerating how quickly technical exposures become operational and financial impact. As advisors helping organizations manage complex risk, Lockton sees growing demand for greater visibility into frontier AI exposure and a clearer path to mitigation. Through Project QuiltWorks, Lockton and CrowdStrike are giving our clients the coordinated framework they need to get ahead of frontier AI risk, and the financial protection to manage it." - Michelle Faylo, U.S. Cyber & Technology Leader, Lockton "Frontier AI is accelerating the speed at which vulnerabilities become material business exposure, and the financial stakes have never been higher. Enterprises need a way to sift through the noise and determine which exposures translate into financial risk. The Resilience Risk Operations Center (ROC) was built as a way to address this reality: it is unfeasible to secure everything, instead organizations must protect against the threats that pose the most material risk to their business. Taking part in Project QuiltWorks helps us stay ahead of the cyber risk created by frontier AI, enabling us to further inform how we analyze financial exposure for our clients." - Jud Dressler, Head of Risk Operations, Resilience CrowdStrike Project QuiltWorks is now available: please visit here for more information.

CrowdStrike Delivers Visibility and Monitoring for Claude Activity via Claude’s Compliance APIMay 21, 2026 1:00 PM
Business Wire Integration brings Claude activity into the Falcon platform, enhancing unified detection, response, and governance across enterprise AI usage CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced a new integration with Claude’s Compliance API, bringing Claude Enterprise and Claude Platform activity into the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform to deliver centralized visibility, detection, response, and governance for enterprise AI usage. As Claude becomes embedded in production workflows like code generation, customer communications, legal review, and internal research, organizations need the same visibility and control they already apply across endpoints, identities, and cloud workloads. Without equivalent visibility into Claude activity, AI usage can introduce gaps in the broader security environment. "Every enterprise application requires monitoring and protection. AI shouldn't be the exception," said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. "As Claude becomes part of how organizations operate, security teams need it in the same operational picture as everything else. This integration puts AI activity inside the Falcon platform, right next to endpoint, identity, and cloud signals, so customers can apply the cybersecurity they already trust." Bringing AI Activity into Security Operations The integration ingests activity data from Claude’s Compliance API into Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM and Charlotte Agentic SOAR, making Claude activity part of the broader security dataset. By unifying AI signals with Falcon platform data across endpoint, identity, and cloud, organizations can extend existing security operations to cover AI usage at scale. Through this integration, organizations can: Extend visibility to AI activity: Ingest Claude Enterprise activity logs and conversation content, along with Claude Platform activity logs, into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, correlating AI usage with endpoint, identity, and cloud telemetry for complete operational context. Detect and investigate with broader context: Analyze AI activity alongside security signals across the environment. For example, correlating unusual Claude usage patterns with identity anomalies or data movement to surface risks that neither signal would reveal alone. Automate response at machine speed: Use Charlotte Agentic SOAR to trigger workflows for alerting, investigation, and response, based on AI activity signals, reducing manual effort and accelerating containment. Enforce policy through Falcon workflows: Extend oversight and policy-driven response through Falcon® AI Detection and Response (AIDR) and Falcon® Shield, enabling security teams to define and enforce how the organization responds to AI-related signals at scale.

The Cryptographic Migration Calendar Just Got Real: Inside the Tooling Gap That QSE Just ClosedMay 14, 2026 11:15 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of QSE — Quantum Secure Encryption Corp.From NIST FIPS standards to NSA's CNSA 2.0 framework to municipal pilot programs — QPA v2 lands at the operational gap between regulatory deadline and enterprise executionVANCOUVER, BC, May 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Equity Insider News Commentary — Regulatory deadlines have a way of clarifying conversations that have meandered for years. The post-quantum cryptography conversation is one of them. For most of the last decade, "quantum risk" was a category the largest enterprises and government agencies acknowledged in strategy documents but kept several quarters away from any operational workstream. Then, in August 2024, the National Institute of Standards and Technology finalized the first three post-quantum cryptography standards — FIPS 203, 204, and 205 — and the conversation changed.[1] What had been a forecasting exercise became a compliance calendar. The compliance calendar is now precise. The NSA's CNSA 2.0 framework, scheduled to take effect in January 2027, requires all new national security systems to implement quantum-safe algorithms. By 2030, all custom and legacy applications must be migrated. By 2035, the entire cryptographic infrastructure of every system touching national security must be quantum-resilient, with no exceptions written into the framework.[1] Boston Consulting Group's 2025 assessment of the migration trajectory was direct: starting in 2030 will already be too late, given the asset-by-asset, certificate-by-certificate, protocol-by-protocol enumeration that any credible enterprise migration requires.[1] Google, in February 2026, joined the chorus of voices urging governments and industry to "prepare now."[1]The standards exist. The deadlines are set. Until very recently, the missing piece has been the enterprise tooling needed to actually plan, assess, and execute a post-quantum migration across thousands of cryptographic dependencies spanning software, hardware, certificates, keys, and protocols. The gap has been operational rather than theoretical — every CISO knows quantum risk is real; the question has been how to translate that knowledge into a budgeted, sequenced, governed program of work that can be executed across complex enterprise environments while business continues to run.[1]QSE — Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN8) on March 31, 2026 announced the official launch of QPA v2 — its enterprise post-quantum cryptographic migration platform — directly addressing that operational gap.[2] The launch is the culmination of a Q1 2026 sequence of platform and engagement milestones that, viewed together, describe a company shifting from awareness-building into execution support across the enterprise and public-sector tiers.QPA v2 turns what has traditionally been a fragmented, manual process — assessing cryptographic posture across a complex enterprise environment — into a structured, data-driven workflow with real-time visibility into quantum readiness, risk levels, and migration progress.[2] The platform introduces a PQC Planning Wizard supporting governance design, budgeting, timelines, and migration strategy development; AI-enhanced assessment modules that evaluate cryptographic posture and compliance readiness; integrated inventory analysis covering software, hardware, and cryptographic components and identifying risk exposure across complex environments; and a centralized executive dashboard providing real-time visibility into quantum readiness, risk levels, and migration progress across the organization.[2] The Company indicated QPA v2 is already live with both current and prospective clients.[3]Review the complete profile on QSE here
 The platform launch followed a clear ramp through the early months of 2026. On February 19, 2026, the Company formalized its enterprise post-quantum migration methodology through the Quantum Preparedness Platform. On February 24, the Company strengthened its post-quantum infrastructure with entropy-enabled Single Sign-On and government-aligned migration integration. On March 10, QSE expanded its global footprint to 13 countries, with continued commercial growth highlighted in the corporate update. On March 12, the Company announced participation in several major international cybersecurity and post-quantum security conferences across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region throughout 2026 — expanding engagement with global industry, government, and enterprise stakeholders preparing for the transition to post-quantum cryptographic standards.[4] On March 18, QSE announced its first municipal government post-quantum security pilot through engagement with MISA (Municipal Information Systems) — an early signal of public-sector engagement that has consistently been one of the harder customer segments for enterprise cybersecurity tooling to penetrate.[4]On April 7, 2026, the Company announced the grant of stock options to purchase up to 2,600,000 common shares to its directors, officers, employees, and consultants, exercisable at $0.40 per share with a five-year term — an incentive structure aligned with the multi-year migration calendar that QPA v2 is built to support.[5]The economic backdrop to the QSE platform launch has continued to widen. The global post-quantum cryptography market has been projected to reach approximately US$17.69 billion by 2034, with annual global cybercrime costs projected to hit US$10.5 trillion in 2026 and the broader zero-trust security market projected to balloon past US$73 billion by 2032 as enterprises scramble for identity-centric defense.[6] The convergence of regulatory deadlines, advancing quantum computing capability, and rising threat exposure has positioned organizations that can deliver practical, implementation-ready post-quantum migration tooling at the center of one of the more consequential infrastructure cycles of the decade.Around the same window QSE was advancing QPA v2 into its first deployments, the broader cybersecurity infrastructure stack continued to deliver the contract and revenue signals that frame the market QSE's tooling is positioned to plug into.CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD) has continued to expand its Falcon platform as one of the leading endpoint and cloud security stacks at large enterprises and government agencies — a customer footprint that overlaps materially with the organizations now facing the most complex post-quantum migration timelines. The integration of endpoint detection and response with cryptographic asset management represents a natural adjacency for the kind of cryptographic-posture visibility QPA v2 is designed to deliver across the same customer environments.Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PANW) has continued to expand the Cortex and Strata product families, with Prisma Cloud increasingly providing one of the more comprehensive cloud security platforms in the public-cloud universe. As enterprises consolidate cybersecurity onto fewer, larger platforms, the operational layering of cryptographic governance — including post-quantum readiness assessment — into existing security platforms has become a structural opportunity for purpose-built tools at the migration-planning layer.Fortinet, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTNT), one of the largest network-security platform vendors in the public markets, has continued to invest in its Security Fabric architecture and FortiAI-enabled capabilities through 2026. The trajectory of large network-security vendor consolidation is a relevant adjacency for the QPA v2 platform thesis: as encryption is increasingly governed at the network and identity layer, the cryptographic inventory and assessment capabilities QSE has built become integration points across the network-security stack rather than standalone tooling.Zscaler, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZS), the zero-trust cloud security platform, has continued to drive the architectural shift from perimeter-based security toward identity-centric, zero-trust architectures. The zero-trust trajectory creates a natural fit with post-quantum migration: the cryptographic certificates, keys, and protocols underpinning zero-trust workflows are exactly the assets that must be inventoried, assessed, and migrated under the CNSA 2.0 timeline — the workflow QPA v2 is built to manage.For QSE, the broader-stack context provides the customer environment within which QPA v2 will operate. The Company's CEO and the Q1 2026 corporate sequence have framed the platform as a layer designed to plug into the cybersecurity infrastructure enterprises already run — not to replace it, but to govern the cryptographic transition that the existing infrastructure cannot, on its own, plan or execute. As the regulatory deadlines move forward and the migration window narrows, that positioning has continued to attract attention.Read more about QSE — Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. at: https://equity-insider.com/qse-landingCONTACT:Equity Insider, editor @acblanke1SOURCES:PRNewswire / Cantech Letter — "Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. announces official launch of QPA v2, its enterprise post-quantum cryptographic migration platform," April 6, 2026, https://www.cantechletter.com/newswires/quantum-secure-encryption-corp-announces-official-launch-of-qpa-v2-its-enterprise-post-quantum-cryptographic-migration-platform/QSE — Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. — "QSE Launches QPA v2, Its Enterprise Post-Quantum Cryptographic Migration Platform," Newsfile Corp., March 31, 2026.The Quantum Insider — "Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. Launches QPA v2 for Post-Quantum Migration," April 7, 2026, https://thequantuminsider.com/2026/04/07/quantum-secure-encryption-qpa-v2-launch/QSE — Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. — Q1 2026 corporate news releases (Feb 19, Feb 24, Mar 10, Mar 12, Mar 18, 2026).QSE — Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. — "QSE Grants Stock Options," Newsfile Corp., April 7, 2026.USA News Group — "The Q-Day Gold Rush: Why This $30B Tech Shift is the Next Defensive Supercycle," GlobeNewswire, January 8, 2026, https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/01/08/3215695/0/en/The-Q-Day-Gold-Rush-Why-This-30B-Tech-Shift-is-the-Next-Defensive-Supercycle.htmlDISCLAIMER:Nothing in this publication should be considered as personalized financial advice.

CrowdStrike Named Frost & Sullivan’s Company of the Year for Identity Threat Detection and ResponseMay 11, 2026 7:57 AM
Business Wire Continuous, risk-aware identity security becomes the market standard as AI agents and non-human identities (NHIs) expose the limitations of fragmented, static access controls CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it has been named Frost & Sullivan’s 2026 Company of the Year for Identity Threat Detection and Response. As AI agents transform how work gets done, operating with superhuman speed and access, this recognition validates CrowdStrike’s leadership in advancing the market beyond static access controls with “a next-generation identity model that enables continuous and content-aware dynamic authorization across human, non-human, and AI agent identities.” – Deepali Sathe - Industry Principal, Frost & Sullivan. “Identity is the front line of modern attacks and AI is accelerating the threat at scale,” said Elia Zaitsev, chief technology officer at CrowdStrike. “AI agents operate as high-privilege identities with access to critical data, applications, compute resources, and other agents, exposing the risk of legacy access models built on static policies and standing privileges. CrowdStrike eliminates standing privileges and enforces real-time, risk-based access that can be dynamically revoked as conditions change, establishing Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security as the identity security control plane for the agentic enterprise.” Identity Security for the Agentic Enterprise The Falcon® Next-Gen Identity Security business surpassed $520 million in ending ARR, growing more than 34% year-over-year.1 CrowdStrike’s ability to secure both human and agentic identities makes Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security the standard for identity security in the agentic enterprise. Frost & Sullivan stated, “CrowdStrike’s unified, cloud native platform that delivers end-to-end identity visibility, just in time privileges, behavioral analytics, and automated response across human and non-human identities enables a significant competitive advantage.” ___________________________ 1 FY26 Earnings Key findings from the Frost & Sullivan report include: Securing SaaS and AI Agents Frost recognized how CrowdStrike delivers “real time visibility into AI and SaaS agents, including their permissions, data access, and activity, and can monitor how these identities interact with sensitive systems and datasets over time.” Zero Standing Privileges Frost highlighted that “unlike traditional role assignments or vaulting, Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security treats every user as potentially privileged, granting only need-based, real-time behavior and context aware access.” End-to-End Identity Security Frost praised CrowdStrike’s protection across the identity lifecycle, from phishing resistant MFA to enabling customers to use “SOAR workflows to automatically reset compromised passwords, remediate risky accounts in batches, and enforce conditional access or privilege controls based on real time risk scores.” Unified Outcomes Frost recognized CrowdStrike for delivering a “unified, cloud-native platform that treats identity as a first-class security signal alongside endpoints, cloud, and data.” And noted that “the leadership team’s focus in translating megatrends into a coherent product strategy rather than a set of disjointed features is evident as the company builds a model of zero trust access for every identity.” Additional Resources To learn more about Frost & Sullivan’s 2026 Company of the Year for Identity Threat Detection and Response, visit here.

CrowdStrike Named a Leader in the Inaugural 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence TechnologiesMay 4, 2026 9:23 AM
Business Wire
CrowdStrike positioned furthest right for Completeness of Vision among all vendors evaluated


CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it has been named a Leader in the inaugural 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies1. CrowdStrike positioned furthest right for Completeness of Vision among all vendors evaluated. As adversaries weaponize AI to collapse the defender's window of response, CrowdStrike transforms threat intelligence into agentic adversary disruption, delivering intelligence at the point of decision-making, at the speed of the threat.


“CrowdStrike pioneered adversary-driven intelligence, using frontline findings to stop real-world attacks,” said Adam Meyers, head of counter adversary operations at CrowdStrike. "By combining the industry's deepest understanding of adversary operations with agentic systems that reason across threat data and exposure risk, hunt adversaries proactively, and take decisive action across the kill chain, CrowdStrike accelerates outcomes and stops breaches."


From Static Threat Intel Reports to Agentic Adversary Disruption


CrowdStrike sets the industry standard for adversary intelligence, tracking over 280 of the world’s most sophisticated nation-state, eCrime and hacktivist groups. In our view, the Gartner inaugural report based on the Cyberthreat Intelligence category confirms what adversary behavior has already made clear: threat intelligence is no longer a reporting discipline, it is an operational one. CrowdStrike's agentic threat intelligence drives a market transformation, delivering agents that reason across adversary behavior, hunt proactively, and disrupt attacks across the kill chain at machine speed.


Threat AI, the industry's first agentic threat intelligence system, reasons across threat data, hunts adversaries proactively, and takes decisive action across the kill chain, pursuing and disrupting adversaries at machine speed and accelerating threat response at the speed of the AI-enabled adversary. CrowdStrike's expanding fleet of AI agents transforms finished intelligence into agentic adversary disruption, exposing adversary tradecraft and closing critical gaps at the speed of the adversary.


The CrowdStrike Falcon® platform brings detection and response, intelligence, and exposure management together in one platform. The same data used to detect a threat informs the agentic intelligence that explains it, identifies exposed assets and attack paths, and helps organizations operationalize Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) as part of adversary-driven defense, disrupting the adversary without handoff.


CrowdStrike's Threat Intelligence & Hunting capabilities are continuously informed by real-world decisions from CrowdStrike Counter Adversary Operations' team of elite threat hunters and intelligence experts. Powered by trillions of daily security events and industry-leading expertise, the Falcon platform operationalizes agentic threat intelligence at scale, connecting external threat activity to internal exposure risk and enabling real-time action across SIEM, SOAR, XDR, cloud and SASE environments to stop breaches.

CrowdStrike Launches Project QuiltWorks, Uniting the Cybersecurity Industry as Frontier AI Models Accelerate RiskApril 23, 2026 9:17 AM
Business Wire
Powered by frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic, CrowdStrike’s coalition includes Accenture, EY, IBM Cybersecurity Services, Kroll, and OpenAI to close the AI vulnerability gap for every enterprise


CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today launched Project QuiltWorks, an industry-wide coalition of ecosystem partners to assess, prioritize, and continuously remediate the wave of vulnerabilities in production code now being discovered by frontier AI models. Project QuiltWorks includes Accenture, EY, IBM Cybersecurity Services, Kroll, OpenAI, CrowdStrike, and its broader partner ecosystem to help every organization answer the question their board is asking: are we exposed?


To help organizations address the new wave of AI-discovered vulnerabilities, CrowdStrike launched the Frontier AI Readiness and Resilience Service to deliver continuous, expert-led engagements directly to customers. Project QuiltWorks includes the world’s leading systems integrators and frontier AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic to deliver assessments, board-level risk reporting, adversary-informed prioritization, and guided remediation.


“As frontier AI accelerates vulnerability discovery, every board in the world is asking their CISO the same question: are we exposed and are we protected?” said George Kurtz, CEO and founder of CrowdStrike. “Project QuiltWorks is how the industry comes together to give every organization the answer their board needs.”


The Coalition


Project QuiltWorks combines CrowdStrike’s AI-driven vulnerability discovery with remediation input from leading systems integrators and frontier model expertise from AI labs. The CrowdStrike Falcon® platform – processing trillions of security events daily – applies real-world adversary intelligence and attack path analysis to prioritize which vulnerabilities an adversary can actually reach and exploit. Project QuiltWorks extends that intelligence to the broader market through its partner network of 10,000+ certified professionals, driving remediation at the code level, inside the enterprise.


Why Now


Frontier AI models uncover logic bugs, design flaws, misconfigurations, and novel exploit paths beyond the reach of automated scanners and human reviews – eliminating the window between discovery and exploitation, and the time defenders once had to patch and respond. CrowdStrike’s Frontier AI Readiness and Resilience Service delivers continuous, expert- and agent-led engagements, with Project QuiltWorks scaling that response across the industry.


The coalition will deliver the technology and expertise every organization needs to understand and act on their frontier AI risk:



Assessment: Expert review of each organization’s current program, where they stand today, and remediation capacity.



Model Deployment: Frontier AI-powered scanning of applications and code bases to find the truly exploitable vulnerabilities that legacy tools and human review miss.



Risk Prioritization: Expert red teamers rank findings by exploitability, adversary activity, and business impact – beyond CVSS scores.



Remediation: Guided remediation to turn findings into action. Board-level analysis and read-outs that translate findings into clear answers for leadership.

CrowdStrike Extends Its Real-Time Cloud Detection and Response to Google CloudApril 22, 2026 8:04 AM
Business Wire
CrowdStrike expands cloud runtime security leadership, giving defenders the speed and precision to stop cloud breaches in seconds across hybrid and multi-cloud environments


Google Cloud Next 2026 — CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced the expansion of its Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) capabilities to Google Cloud. As adversaries weaponize AI to infiltrate cloud environments and move laterally across systems faster than ever, CrowdStrike CDR detects and stops cloud attacks the moment they begin. CrowdStrike’s CDR accelerates the shift from fragmented, posture-only cloud security tools to unified, real-time protection across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.


CrowdStrike also extended the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform to regional Google Cloud infrastructure, enabling organizations to adopt and consolidate on its leading AI-native cybersecurity platform while aligning with operational and data sovereignty requirements.


“Every second counts when adversaries can move from access to exfiltration in minutes,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. “CrowdStrike’s cloud security leadership is built on our ability to operate at runtime at scale. Extending CrowdStrike CDR to one of the world’s largest cloud platforms gives more organizations the speed and precision to stop cloud attacks the moment they begin.”


“Google Cloud is committed to an open security ecosystem, enabling greater choice and flexibility for our customers,” said Vineet Bhan, director of security and identity partnerships, Google Cloud. “By expanding our collaboration with CrowdStrike, customers have access to the best solutions for their unique needs.”


Stop Cloud Attacks in Seconds

As part of CrowdStrike Falcon® Cloud Security's unified CNAPP, CrowdStrike CDR eliminates log batch processing used by traditional CDR, which often takes 15 minutes or more to surface a single detection. Powered by a real-time detection engine built on event streaming technology pioneered and battle-tested by the world’s top threat hunters, CrowdStrike analyzes cloud activity as it happens. Combined with out-of-the-box real-time detections that leverage AI and machine learning to correlate active cloud adversary activity with cloud asset and identity context to expose advanced attacks, and automated response actions, CrowdStrike stops cloud breaches in seconds1.

AI-Driven Risks Accelerate Enterprise Encryption OverhaulApril 10, 2026 9:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Issued on behalf of Quantum Secure Encryption Corp.VANCOUVER, BC, April 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- USANewsGroup.com News Commentary — The most powerful cyber weapon ever built was exposed by a rookie mistake. In late March, a basic configuration error at Anthropic leaked internal documents revealing Claude Mythos[1], a frontier AI model that can autonomously find and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities across every major operating system and browser. The cybersecurity sector dropped hard[2]: CrowdStrike fell 7%, Fortinet lost 3%, and the Global X Cybersecurity ETF hit its lowest point since late 2023. On April 7, Anthropic launched Project Glasswing, handing restricted Mythos access to a defensive coalition of 40+ organizations to patch critical software before adversaries develop similar capabilities. That structural shift now places Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN8), Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT), Datadog (NASDAQ: DDOG), CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), and Varonis Systems (NASDAQ: VRNS) at the center of an operational emergency that spans post-quantum migration, AI-native defense, and cryptographic modernization.







Forrester's March 2026 report concluded that fault-tolerant quantum computing and Q-Day are now plausible by 2030, compressing what was once a generational planning exercise into a five-year execution window[3]. The Global Risk Institute's 2026 Quantum Threat Timeline now places the probability of a cryptographically relevant quantum computer emerging within ten years between 28% and 49%, the highest estimate in the report's seven-year history, reinforcing why quantum-resilient encryption infrastructure and AI-native defense platforms represent the primary value drivers for the 2026 spending cycle[4].Quantum Secure Encryption (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN8) just launched QPA v2, an enterprise platform that helps large organizations find the weak spots in their encryption and build a clear plan to upgrade before quantum computing turns those weak spots into open doors.The Vancouver-based company says QPA v2 moves the conversation from "we know there's a problem" to "here's how we fix it." The platform includes a planning wizard for governance, budgets, and migration timelines, AI-powered modules that evaluate how ready an organization's cryptography actually is, and inventory tools that scan software, hardware, and encryption components to flag what needs replacing. An executive dashboard pulls it all together, giving leadership real-time visibility into risk levels and upgrade progress. QSE says the platform is already live and in use with both existing and prospective clients."Organizations are now moving from understanding quantum risk to actively planning for it," said Ted Carefoot, CEO of QSE. "QPA v2 is designed to support that transition by providing a structured, repeatable framework that enables enterprises and public-sector organizations to assess their current state, prioritize risk, and plan their migration toward post-quantum cryptographic standards."That shift into execution has been building since late 2025. QSE recently secured its first municipal government pilot for post-quantum cybersecurity through its membership in MISA (Municipal Information Systems Association), a national network connecting Canadian municipalities with new technology. The participating municipality is using QPA to identify which of its systems rely on encryption that future quantum computers could break, and to start planning upgrades now. QSE noted it is already in conversations with additional municipalities exploring similar assessments.Since November 2025, QSE has expanded from four to thirteen operational markets worldwide, with eleven value-added distributors now active and two more partnerships expected to close shortly. The company also joined CADSI (Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries), opening pathways into Canadian defence and public-sector procurement.QPA v2 integrates with QSE's broader product suite, including its quantum-resilient key infrastructure, QAuth identity platform, and encrypted storage solutions. QSE is a Canadian post-quantum security company building tools to help organizations protect sensitive data from the next generation of cyberattacks that quantum computing is expected to enable, targeting commercial, enterprise, and government clients preparing for a fundamental shift in how encryption works.CONTINUED… Read this and more on QSE at: All the information on Quantum Secure Encryption can be seen hereOther industry developments and happenings in the market include:Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT) recently announced major innovations across its Security Operations Platform at Fortinet Accelerate 2026, including a preview of FortiSOC, expanded agentic AI capabilities, and endpoint security enhancements delivered through FortiEndpoint. The company is consolidating core SOC functions spanning log ingestion, correlation, automation, case management, and behavioral analytics into a single cloud-delivered service built on a unified data model that integrates telemetry from both Fortinet and third-party environments.FortiSOC brings together FortiAnalyzer, FortiSIEM, FortiSOAR, and FortiTIP into one integrated platform, while FortiAI expansions introduce agentic workflows that automate alert triage, threat hunting, and investigation continuity across the kill chain. FortiEndpoint advances the endpoint security layer by unifying ZTNA, SASE, EPP, EDR, and DLP under a single agent, reducing operational sprawl and adding FortiAI-powered visibility to detect and govern AI application usage. FortiGuard SOC-as-a-Service also received enhancements, extending multivendor monitoring with FortiNDR and FortiCNAPP telemetry to strengthen detection fidelity across hybrid environments. Together, these updates position Fortinet to help security teams reduce complexity and defend against AI-driven threats at scale.Datadog (NASDAQ: DDOG) announced the general availability of Bits AI Security Analyst, an AI agent built into Datadog Cloud SIEM that reduces threat investigations from hours to as little as 30 seconds, cutting mean-time-to-resolution by more than 90%. The solution pairs senior SOC analyst expertise with machine-scale speed, enabling autonomous alert triage, evidence gathering, and verdict delivery across cloud, identity, and endpoint data sources that would be unachievable by human analysts alone."Traditional SIEMs are leaving enterprises increasingly exposed because queues keep growing and investigations take longer to correlate and enrich context. On top of this, you have security talent shortages," said Tim Knudsen, Vice President of Security Products at Datadog. "Datadog Cloud SIEM with Bits AI Security Analyst solves this problem by autonomously investigating alerts, and leveraging security and observability signals to deliver accurate, fully explained verdicts that dramatically reduce remediation times."One in four Fortune 500 companies rely on Datadog Security to detect, prioritize, and remediate threats, positioning the platform as a trusted enterprise partner as GenAI-powered attacks grow more sophisticated. The company continues expanding its Cloud SIEM capabilities with thousands of integrations and enterprise-grade controls including role-based access management.CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) has expanded its strategic partnership with HCLTech through the launch of Continuous Threat Exposure Management services, combining adversary intelligence with AI-driven threat detection to deliver real-time exposure prioritization across endpoints, cloud, identity, applications, and data. Powered by the AI-native Falcon platform and patented ExPRT.AI, the offering uses agentic innovation to identify and prioritize vulnerabilities most likely to be exploited based on real-world attack paths and adversary activity."Falcon Exposure Management gives organizations the real-time visibility and AI-driven insights they need to reduce and prioritize risk at scale," said Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer of CrowdStrike. "HCLTech's services expertise makes them the right partner to deliver this capability to customers globally. Together, we're helping security teams move faster, consolidate operations, and stay ahead of adversaries."The expanded partnership positions CrowdStrike to accelerate enterprise adoption of its platform by operationalizing prioritized threat insights at scale through a structured remediation framework, continuously reducing attack surface risk across global enterprises. As a recognized leader in cloud-native cybersecurity, the company continues to deepen its ecosystem of service delivery partners to extend Falcon platform capabilities to security teams worldwide.Varonis Systems (NASDAQ: VRNS) launched Atlas, an end-to-end AI Security Platform giving organizations complete visibility and control over AI systems they build and run, including hosted AI platforms, custom LLMs, agentic frameworks, chatbots, and embedded AI. Atlas covers the full AI security lifecycle from discovery and posture management to runtime protection and compliance in a single solution."AI completely disrupts the enterprise security model. Instead of humans clicking through UIs, agents are accessing data directly — and this places data and AI security front and center," said Yaki Faitelson, CEO and co-founder of Varonis Systems. "If you can't continuously discover, assess, and secure agents and LLMs, you can't use AI at scale. Varonis Atlas gives organizations the fastest path to safe and trustworthy AI."Atlas is available today with a free trial offering full access to AI inventory, posture management, security testing, runtime guardrails, and compliance reporting. Through integrations with the Varonis Data Security Platform, Atlas delivers data context that standalone AI security tools cannot match, positioning the company to serve thousands of organizations worldwide seeking to adopt AI while reducing data exposure and stopping AI-powered threats.FURTHER READING: Read more about Quantum Secure Encryption hereCONTACT:USA NEWS GROUP

Original: AI-Driven Risks Accelerate Enterprise Encryption Overhaul

Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. announces official launch of QPA v2, its enterprise post-quantum cryptographic migration platformApril 6, 2026 11:53 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Issued on behalf of QSE — Quantum Secure Encryption Corp.FlyOnWallStreet.com News CommentaryVANCOUVER, BC, April 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In August 2024, the National Institute of Standards and Technology finalized the first three post-quantum cryptography standards — FIPS 203, 204, and 205 — after an eight-year global evaluation process. In January 2027, the NSA's CNSA 2.0 framework requires all new national security systems to implement quantum-safe algorithms. By 2030, all custom and legacy applications must be migrated. By 2035, the entire cryptographic infrastructure of every system touching national security must be quantum-resilient. No exceptions.This is not a theoretical risk exercise. Intelligence agencies in multiple countries are already exfiltrating encrypted data at scale under the "harvest now, decrypt later" doctrine — capturing encrypted communications, classified files, financial records, and healthcare data today, banking on quantum computing capability to decrypt it within a decade. Google's Willow quantum processor, unveiled in late 2024, demonstrated error correction capabilities many physicists considered a decade away. In February 2026, Google publicly called on governments and industry to "prepare now" for quantum-era cybersecurity. The Boston Consulting Group's 2025 assessment was blunt: starting migration in 2030 will already be too late.And yet, most organizations haven't started. The reason is not ignorance. It's infrastructure. The NIST standards exist. The regulatory deadlines are set. But the enterprise tooling to actually plan, assess, and execute a post-quantum migration across thousands of cryptographic dependencies — software, hardware, certificates, keys, protocols — has been largely absent. It's the difference between knowing you need to move and having the logistics to actually do it.That gap just closed. Companies actively developing post-quantum security solutions include QSE — Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE | OTCQB: QSEGF | FSE: VN8), CrowdStrike Holdings (Nasdaq: CRWD), Palo Alto Networks (Nasdaq: PANW), and Arqit Quantum (Nasdaq: ARQQ).The Migration Platform That Didn't Exist — Until NowQSE — Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE | OTCQB: QSEGF | FSE: VN8) announced the official launch of QPA v2, its enterprise post-quantum cryptographic migration platform, on March 31, 2026. QPA v2 transforms what has traditionally been a fragmented, manual process — assessing cryptographic posture across complex enterprise environments — into a structured, data-driven workflow with real-time visibility into quantum readiness, risk levels, and migration progress.The platform introduces a PQC Planning Wizard supporting governance design, budgeting, timelines, and migration strategy development. AI-enhanced assessment modules evaluate cryptographic posture and compliance readiness. Integrated inventory analysis covers software, hardware, and cryptographic components, identifying risk exposure across complex environments. A centralized executive dashboard provides real-time visibility into quantum readiness. And integrated reporting tools support governance, audit, and internal decision-making."Organizations are now moving from understanding quantum risk to actively planning for it," said Ted Carefoot, CEO of QSE. "QPA v2 is designed to support that transition by providing a structured, repeatable framework that enables enterprises and public-sector organizations to assess their current state, prioritize risk, and plan their migration toward post-quantum cryptographic standards."QPA v2 integrates with QSE's broader security ecosystem — including qREK quantum-resilient key infrastructure, QAuth identity and authentication platform, and decentralized encrypted storage solutions — supporting a full-stack approach to long-term cryptographic resilience. The platform is already live and being utilized by both existing and prospective clients.This is what separates QSE from the dozens of companies talking about post-quantum security. QSE is not building a single algorithm or a point solution. It is building the enterprise migration infrastructure — the planning layer, the assessment layer, the inventory layer, and the execution layer — that organizations need to actually move from vulnerable to quantum-resilient. And it's already in production.CONTINUED… Read this and more on QSE at: FlyOnWallStreet.comThe Cybersecurity Giants Are Scrambling to Catch UpCrowdStrike Holdings (Nasdaq: CRWD) — CrowdStrike is the dominant force in endpoint detection and response, with approximately $4 billion in fiscal 2025 revenue and a market capitalization exceeding $100 billion. The company's Falcon platform protects endpoints, cloud workloads, and identity infrastructure for organizations worldwide. But CrowdStrike's core competency is detecting and responding to threats — not migrating the underlying cryptographic infrastructure that those threats will eventually exploit. As quantum computing compresses the timeline for breaking RSA and ECC encryption, the companies providing migration tooling — not just threat detection — will command the next wave of enterprise security spending.Palo Alto Networks (Nasdaq: PANW) — Palo Alto Networks reported fiscal year 2025 revenue exceeding $9 billion and has begun integrating post-quantum cryptography capabilities into its security platforms. The company's $25 billion acquisition of CyberArk in 2025 brought identity security into its platform, and Palo Alto is positioning itself as the enterprise consolidation platform for cybersecurity. But PQC migration — the process of inventorying, assessing, planning, and executing the replacement of every quantum-vulnerable cryptographic component across an enterprise — requires purpose-built tooling that no general cybersecurity platform currently provides. That is exactly the gap QSE's QPA v2 fills.Arqit Quantum (Nasdaq: ARQQ) — Arqit is a quantum encryption company offering QuantumCloud, a SaaS-based quantum-safe key exchange platform. The company represents the emerging class of pure-play quantum security firms addressing the post-quantum transition. While Arqit focuses on key distribution and exchange, QSE's approach is broader — encompassing the entire migration lifecycle from assessment through execution, with an integrated ecosystem spanning key infrastructure, identity, authentication, and encrypted storage.The NIST standards are finalized. The NSA deadlines are set. The "harvest now, decrypt later" threat is active. Google is calling for urgent preparation. And most organizations haven't started because the migration tooling didn't exist. QSE — Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE | OTCQB: QSEGF | FSE: VN8) just launched QPA v2 — the enterprise post-quantum migration platform designed to close that gap. The standards are here. The deadlines are real. The platform is live. The migration starts now.For more information on QSE — Quantum Secure Encryption Corp.

CrowdStrike and IBM Expand Strategic Collaboration to Accelerate Agentic SOC TransformationMarch 25, 2026 5:15 PM
Business Wire
Expanded strategic collaboration brings together Charlotte AI with IBM ATOM for coordinated, machine-speed response and integrates the Falcon platform with IBM Consulting’s managed security services and X-Force Cyber Range


RSA 2026--CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) and IBM today announced an expansion of their strategic collaboration to advance agentic SOC transformation.


The expanded collaboration integrates CrowdStrike® Charlotte AI™ with IBM’s Autonomous Threat Operations Machine (ATOM), IBM’s autonomous SOC orchestration engine, for coordinated, machine-speed investigation and containment. It also extends the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform into IBM Consulting’s managed Threat Detection and Response services and global X-Force Cyber Range experiences, where the two companies will offer immersive cyber crisis simulations to help organizations prepare for emerging threats.


AI is accelerating the velocity of adversary operations and shrinking the defender’s window to respond. The average eCrime breakout time has dropped to 29 minutes, with the fastest observed in just 27 seconds, while attacks targeting public-facing applications are up 44% from the prior year, according to the CrowdStrike 2026 Global Threat Report and IBM’s 2026 X-Force Threat Intelligence Index. As threats move faster and expand across cloud environments, security teams need coordinated detection and containment at machine speed.


Within the SOC, IBM ATOM and Charlotte AI can now work together to analyze detections across endpoint, identity, and cloud environments, applying enterprise context to coordinate and execute containment decisions. Together, they streamline investigation and response to reduce manual handoffs and help teams act before threats spread.


“Enterprises trust IBM to advance their security programs,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer, CrowdStrike. “With Charlotte AI helping to deliver investigation, containment, and operational response, IBM’s autonomous threat operations machine (ATOM) and cyber threat management services are battle-ready to defend against modern threats.”


“Organizations are under pressure to accelerate response without increasing complexity,” said Dave McGinnis, Vice President, Global Managed Security Services, IBM. “By combining IBM ATOM with CrowdStrike’s Charlotte AI and delivering managed Threat Detection and Response services and Cyber Range validation with the Falcon platform, we’re helping enterprises operationalize coordinated, AI-driven response in real-world environments.”


Together, CrowdStrike and IBM are leading agentic SOC transformation with a unified execution model for modern enterprises.

“We’re incredibly grateful to be named the winner of the CrowdStrike, AWS, and NVIDIA Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator,” said Ido Livneh, co-founder and CEO at Jazz. “DLP has been broken for decades by rule-writing, alert floods, and no real answers. So we rebuilt it from the ground up, from first principles thinking, as an AI-native system to truly understand how data moves through a business. The guidance and support we received through the Accelerator has been invaluable in helping us sharpen the product and validate it against real-world enterprise demands as we scale.”


“The path to becoming a defining cybersecurity company looks nothing like it did just three years ago,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. “Today’s most promising founders are building alongside the platforms that power modern infrastructure from day one. Together with AWS and NVIDIA, this Accelerator is about supporting that innovation early in the startup journey. Jazz stood out for replacing legacy DLP with an AI-native, context-aware approach, using Melody and Context Vault to replace noisy alerts with clear, actionable answers at scale, and demonstrating what it takes to lead in this new era of cybersecurity.”


“Security innovation only matters if it performs in real-world cloud environments,” said CJ Moses, CISO of integrated security at Amazon. “This accelerator connects founders directly with the infrastructure, operational expectations, and scale enterprises demand. What set Jazz apart was its ability to investigate signals with full business context and surface only meaningful incidents with minimal analyst overhead, reflecting the standards modern security teams expect.”


“The shift to agentic AI is transforming cybersecurity, requiring autonomous systems that can perceive, reason, and act against increasingly sophisticated threats,” said Bartley Richardson, senior director of agentic AI and cybersecurity engineering at NVIDIA. “This Accelerator equips the next generation of security platforms with the high-performance compute and foundational frameworks needed to build secure, scalable AI systems. Jazz distinguished itself through its agentic investigator, Melody, and its ability to analyze multi-dimensional context across data, systems, people, and business to drive precise, in-context prevention decisions – distilling millions of events into a small set of actionable insights.”

Collaboration brings the power of the Falcon platform to Intel-powered AI PCs to protect sensitive data and stop breaches


RSA 2026 - CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced an expansion of its strategic collaboration with Intel to optimize the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform for Intel-powered AI PCs, enabling organizations to detect threats faster and safeguard sensitive data as AI workloads move directly onto the endpoint.


AI PCs are reshaping work as AI assistants process sensitive data directly on the device, expanding the attack surface and introducing new risks to the endpoint. As AI itself becomes the target, organizations need purpose-built protection to drive business tasks without fear of compromise.


By combining the Falcon platform’s capabilities with Intel’s on-device AI acceleration across CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs, the collaboration brings real-time threat detection and data protection into AI-driven workflows, helping organizations respond faster, protect sensitive data, and maintain control as AI becomes embedded in everyday work.


“The rise of AI PCs is changing not just how work gets done, but where execution and risk live,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer, CrowdStrike. “As AI moves directly onto the endpoint, security has to operate where those interactions happen. With Intel as a lead AI PC innovation partner, our collaboration extends Falcon directly into that layer, so customers can protect sensitive data and close the gap between detection and containment.”


Key benefits include:



Protect sensitive data in AI workflows and interactions: Falcon® Data Security discovers, classifies, and enforces policies to prevent data exposure and block leakage as employees interact with AI assistants, browsers, and local applications.



Stop threats faster with hardware-accelerated intelligence: Combining CrowdStrike’s industry-leading adversary intelligence with Intel’s NPUs and silicon-level telemetry, including Intel Threat Detection Technology, the Falcon platform identifies and stops attacks that can evade traditional defenses.



Correlate threat activity across AI workflows with unified context: Intel's silicon-level telemetry combines with Falcon's endpoint, identity, and cloud signals to give teams full visibility into user, device, and data behavior as AI-driven activity crosses surfaces.



Strengthen resilience and recovery across enterprise fleets: Intel vPro enables hardware-assisted recovery and fleet management, helping IT teams restore and secure systems even when the operating system is unavailable, while the lightweight Falcon agent delivers high-performance protection without slowing users down across enterprise fleets.



“AI PCs are bringing powerful AI capabilities directly to the endpoint, creating new opportunities for performance and innovation,” said Jen Larson, General Manager, Commercial Client Segments, Client Computing Group, Intel. “By combining Intel’s AI PC architectures with CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform, we’re enabling real-time security and data protection on the device without compromising performance or user experience, expanding our joint roadmap and co-engineering pipeline to further accelerate delivery of AI based security at the edge."


Together, CrowdStrike and Intel are closing the gap between where AI runs and where security operates.
