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.

CrowdStrike Introduces Falcon Data Security to Stop Data Theft Across the Agentic EnterpriseMarch 24, 2026 8:05 AM
Business Wire
CrowdStrike discovers, classifies, and secures sensitive data wherever it lives and moves, spanning endpoints, browsers, SaaS, cloud, and AI workflows


RSA 2026 – CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today introduced CrowdStrike Falcon Data Security, a new data security solution that stops data theft across the agentic enterprise. Powered by real-world adversary intelligence and unified Falcon® platform context, Falcon Data Security discovers, classifies, and stops data theft in real time – whether caused by an employee mistake, a malicious insider, or an adversary operating with valid credentials.


“AI has fundamentally changed how quickly data is created, accessed, and shared, placing sensitive information in constant motion,” said Elia Zaitsev, chief technology officer at CrowdStrike. “Legacy data protection tools were built for a world where data was static. Falcon Data Security discovers, classifies, and defends sensitive data wherever it exists, at rest and in motion. This is data security for the agentic era.”


Data on the Move


AI is reshaping how work gets done, accessing and moving sensitive data continuously across endpoints, cloud services, SaaS applications, and AI-driven workflows. Legacy data protection was built for a different era – DLP for static endpoints, DSPM for point-in-time cloud inventories. Neither was designed to look at data security holistically as sensitive information moves from one domain to another. Modern data security requires real-time, cross-domain context and adversary intelligence to distinguish legitimate data movement from real risk – preventing inadvertent exposure, leakage, and theft wherever data resides.


Unified Data Security


The Falcon platform’s unified architecture spanning identity, endpoint, SaaS, cloud, and AI – combined with native adversary intelligence – gives teams the context to discover, classify, and protect sensitive data across systems. By consolidating fragmented DLP and DSPM tools, Falcon Data Security simplifies protection and secures the full data spectrum.


Key features and benefits include:



AI-Powered Classification for Data in Motion: Automatically identifies and classifies sensitive data across endpoints, SaaS, cloud, browsers, and AI workflows as it is created, transformed, and shared.



GenAI Data Protection: Protects sensitive data shared through browsers, local applications, and runtime cloud environments. Prevents inadvertent exposure while blocking data leakage across both managed and unmanaged GenAI tools, wherever they’re used.



Runtime Cloud Data Visibility: Moves beyond static inventories to deliver real-time insight into how sensitive data is accessed and moved – surfacing active cloud data risk.



Cross-Domain Platform Context: Evaluates data threats alongside endpoint, identity, and cloud activity – giving teams full user, device, and access context in a single console to correlate, prioritize, and stop threats faster.



Automated Enforcement: Blocks risky data movement at endpoint egress, prevents unauthorized access in SaaS applications, and automates cloud data response actions through unified SOAR workflows.

CrowdStrike Delivers Industry's First Adversary-Informed Cloud Risk Prioritization to Stop AI-Powered AdversariesMarch 24, 2026 8:07 AM
Business Wire
New Falcon Cloud Security innovations unify application behavior and adversary tradecraft to eliminate the exposures AI-fortified attackers exploit


RSA 2026-- CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced new CrowdStrike Falcon® Cloud Security innovations to help eliminate cloud risk through adversary-informed prioritization. By revealing how business applications shape risk and aligning it with active adversary tradecraft, CrowdStrike identifies cloud exposures most likely to be exploited and their root causes – enabling faster, more precise remediation. Combined with industry-leading runtime protection and cloud detection and response (CDR), CrowdStrike surfaces the risks that matter most and stops breaches in real time.


“Cloud security isn’t about generating more alerts, it’s about understanding how risk forms and which exposures adversaries will actually target,” said Elia Zaitsev, chief technology officer at CrowdStrike. “Our latest innovations are the industry's first to connect application behavior and adversary tradecraft into a single operating model, delivering the context and prioritization that teams need to eliminate noise and remediate critical exposures with speed and precision.”


Static Risk Models Cannot Stop AI-Enabled Adversaries


As cloud configurations and permissions constantly change, attackers are weaponizing AI to identify and exploit weaknesses at machine speed. Traditional cloud security models assess risk in isolation, lacking visibility into how live application behavior and critical business context connects to active adversary tradecraft. This buries security teams with disconnected findings that fail to provide a clear path to remediation – allowing high-impact exposure to persist until it's too late.


Adversary-Informed Risk Reduction Stops Cloud Breaches


CrowdStrike replaces the industry's reliance on passive visibility with an adversary-informed operating model for cloud risk. By unifying application context, adversary intelligence, and root-cause analysis, CrowdStrike delivers a precise understanding of how risk develops and which exposures adversaries are targeting now – enabling faster, targeted remediation at the source.


Capabilities supporting adversary-informed cloud risk prioritization include:



Application Explorer: Helps eliminate exploitable blind spots by unifying application and cloud infrastructure context. Delivers the industry's only runtime view of how application behavior influences cloud risk – eliminating the manual correlation that slows remediation.



Timeline Explorer: Accelerates investigations by visualizing the evolution of cloud risk. Connects configuration and application changes on a chronological timeline, automating root cause analysis and moving teams from detection to remediation faster.



Cloud Risk Engine: CrowdStrike’s world-class threat hunters power the industry's first adversary-informed cloud risk engine. By mapping cloud risks to active adversary tradecraft, security teams can prioritize remediation based on proven exploitation rather than theoretical severity.



Unified Real-Time CDR: While Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) only shows what could go wrong, Falcon Cloud Security converts prioritized risk into enforced protection with advanced runtime protection and CDR, isolating compromised workloads and blocking malicious behavior in real time.

CrowdStrike Establishes the Endpoint as the Epicenter for AI SecurityMarch 23, 2026 8:09 AM
Business Wire
New Falcon platform innovations solidify CrowdStrike as AI’s security layer – extending AI agent discovery, governance, and runtime protection across endpoints, SaaS, browser, and cloud


RSA 2026--CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced new capabilities across the Falcon® platform that establish the endpoint as the epicenter for AI security and CrowdStrike as the market’s leading AI security platform. New platform innovations extend AI agent discovery, shadow AI governance, and runtime threat detection directly from the endpoint – the point of AI execution – to every surface where AI agents operate across SaaS, browser, and cloud environments.


As AI agents gain autonomy and system-level privilege, the endpoint has become the target and enforcement point for modern security. AI systems now execute commands, access sensitive data, and trigger downstream workflows directly on the endpoint, often in ways indistinguishable from legitimate user activity. This is where AI actions occur, and where they must be governed in real time. Legacy and network controls were not designed to govern this behavior. With this release, CrowdStrike closes the gap between AI adoption and security enforcement.


“AI agents are fundamentally changing how technology operates and how it must be secured,” said Michael Sentonas, president of CrowdStrike. “Security built for static applications can’t keep up with autonomous systems. Organizations need real-time visibility and control over AI behavior wherever it runs. CrowdStrike is that new standard.”


Securing AI Agents on the Endpoint


The endpoint is emerging as the security epicenter as AI demand surges. 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.1 AI agents execute terminal commands, modify files, access sensitive data, and trigger downstream workflows autonomously, with behavior indistinguishable from legitimate user activity. To secure where AI executes, CrowdStrike delivers:



EDR AI Runtime Protection: CrowdStrike delivers runtime visibility of AI behavior at the point of execution. The Falcon sensor captures the commands, scripts, file activity, and network connections of all applications running on the endpoint, including agentic applications. When suspicious behavior is detected, human and agentic security teams can trace activity to the originating process and act immediately, including isolating affected endpoints to contain threats before they spread.



Shadow AI Discovery for Endpoint: Automatically discovers AI applications, agents, LLM runtimes, MCP servers, and development tools running across endpoints, linking them to asset context and privilege exposure to prioritize risk to critical systems. Security teams can assess not just what AI is deployed, but also the potential blast radius of a compromise.



AIDR for Endpoint: Extends prompt-layer protection to desktop AI applications, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek, Microsoft Copilot, O365 Copilot, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor. Delivers real-time prompt inspection and detection of injection attacks and data leaks, and surfaces access and content policy violations.

Securing AI Agents Across SaaS, Browser, and Cloud


Agents do not only stay on the endpoint; they also work across SaaS platforms, cloud workloads, and AI pipelines – often with permissions that were not designed for governance at machine speed. CrowdStrike's acquisition of Seraphic extends runtime protection to the browser, securing agentic activity at the point where it increasingly operates. CrowdStrike secures AI systems, data, and agents in SaaS, browser, and cloud environments with:



Shadow SaaS and AI Agent Discovery: Provides visibility into Shadow SaaS usage and AI agent activity, permissions, and data access across leading platforms, including Microsoft Copilot (Power Platform), Salesforce Agentforce, ChatGPT Enterprise, OpenAI Enterprise GPT, and Nexos.ai.



AIDR for Copilot Studio Agents: Extends runtime guardrails to Microsoft Copilot Studio agents, monitoring prompts, data interactions, and agent behavior in real time to detect injection attacks, data leaks, and policy violations.



Shadow AI Discovery for Cloud: Unifies visibility across cloud infrastructure and application layers, enabling identification of shadow AI, ungoverned LLM and MCP connections, and sensitive data exposure, as well as prioritized remediation.



AIDR for Cloud: Secures AI workloads running in containerized environments communicating with the OpenAI API specification, providing runtime inspection for AI services and detection of prompt attacks, data leaks, and policy violations.



AI Data Flow Discovery for Cloud: Delivers real-time visibility into how sensitive data flows into and through AI services. Enables teams to identify AI data exposure as it happens and automate response through unified SOAR workflows.
