CrowdStrike recently reached a protocol for the acquisition of Pangea, a company well-known in the AI Security field. This acquisition will elevate CrowdStrike's Falcon platform to a new stage, bringing truly comprehensive AI Detection and Response (AIDR) capabilities to the industry. This means that they aim to comprehensively safeguard the data, models, agents, identification, infrastructure, and interaction security throughout the entire AI lifecycle from development to enterprise application.

CrowdStrike's CEO George Kurtz mentioned an interesting point: as AI technology rapidly advances, the attack surface for enterprises is also expanding, and every prompt and interaction with AI could pose a security risk. He also stated that the addition of Pangea would enable CrowdStrike to provide security assurance for the entire AI lifecycle, timely detecting risks, implementing protective measures, and ensuring compliance, allowing clients to confidently expand their AI applications.

CrowdStrike is known for its innovation in the Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) field, and this time they plan to apply the same model to AI Security. Pangea will extend protection to the interaction layer, unifying visibility, compliance, and execution actions to protect prompts and AI systems at scale.

The capabilities of Pangea are not to be underestimated. It not only provides complete AI detection and response functionalities, but also achieves unified visibility and control over AI agents, workflows, and compliance. Their protective effects are said to achieve 99% effectiveness in preventing prompt injection attacks, model jailbreak attempts, and malicious prompts, all with a latency of less than 30 milliseconds.

The platform executes strategies in real-time to prevent risky AI interactions, ensuring that AI applications and agents have built-in security, while supplementing Falcon Shield to protect SaaS agents. Additionally, the platform offers pre-configured security measures to help teams accelerate the deployment of AI capabilities without compromising control.

Oliver Friedrichs, the CEO of Pangea, stated that the company's founding goal is to make the application of AI safe and reliable, and joining CrowdStrike will help achieve this mission globally by providing the first complete AIDR platform to the market through integration with Falcon.
