CrowdStrike Unveils Falcon Guardian to Protect AI Agents at RuntimeA · FULL TRANSLATION

Security giant CrowdStrike has unveiled Falcon Guardian to protect AI agents running on endpoints at runtime. For readers tracking AI adoption and enterprise security, it flags an emerging battleground: as firms let AI agents act autonomously, those agents themselves become things to protect — and to attack. Security once guarded people and devices; now there's a layer of 'AI that acts on its own.' AI agents hold permissions, operate systems and reach outward, so if hijacked or misdirected their damage can be more direct than traditional malware. Vendors extending protection to AI agents means this risk has moved from theory into product. The takeaway: deploying AI agents is a trend, but don't look only at efficiency and ignore the new attack surface — the security-budget map is being rewritten by AI. (This summarizes an industry release.)
