CrowdStrike’s Open Gateway Ecosystem Makes Falcon AI’s Control Plane

Key Terms

api technical

An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a set of rules that allows different software programs to communicate and work together smoothly, much like a waiter translating your order into the kitchen and then bringing your meal back. For investors, APIs are important because they enable real-time access to financial data, trading systems, and other digital services, making it easier to make informed decisions quickly and efficiently.

prompt injection technical

A prompt injection is a deliberate attempt to trick an AI system by inserting misleading or malicious instructions into the text it reads, causing the system to behave in unintended ways or reveal sensitive information. Like slipping a fake note into a stack of instructions, it matters to investors because it can lead to data breaches, regulatory breaches, faulty decisions, reputational damage, and unexpected costs for companies that rely on AI-driven tools.

data leakage technical

Data leakage is the accidental or unauthorized release of confidential, non-public information—such as financial results, trade secrets, or patient records—outside the organization that owns it. For investors it matters because leaked information can move a stock price before official disclosure, create legal and regulatory risk, and damage trust in management, much like an exam answer sheet shared early changes how others act on the information.

jailbreak attempts technical

Attempts to bypass or remove built-in protections on devices, software, or online services in order to gain unauthorized control, add unapproved features, or access restricted data. For investors, these attempts matter because they can reveal security weaknesses that lead to data breaches, regulatory fines, costly repairs or recalls, and damaged customer trust—similar to discovering a hidden back door that lets criminals into a store, increasing risk and potential expenses.

siem technical

SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) is a software system that gathers and analyzes security-related data from across a company's computers and networks to spot suspicious activity, like a central security dashboard that flags and explains alarms from many sensors. For investors it matters because a strong SIEM helps prevent costly breaches, supports regulatory compliance, and can reduce financial and reputational risk; for vendors it can be a key revenue and growth area.

saas technical

SaaS, or Software as a Service, is a way of delivering computer programs over the internet, allowing users to access and use them through a web browser without needing to install or maintain the software themselves. For investors, it highlights a business model where companies generate recurring revenue by providing ongoing access to their software, often leading to predictable income and growth potential.

llm technical

A large language model (LLM) is an advanced computer system trained on vast amounts of written text to understand and generate human-like language, similar to a very fast, well-read assistant that can summarize documents, draft messages, or answer questions. Investors care because LLMs can speed up research, automate customer support, and reduce costs, while also creating new product opportunities and risks around accuracy, bias, and regulatory oversight that can affect a company’s performance.

With a growing ecosystem of AI gateway partners – including Databricks, Google Cloud, JetStream Security, Kong, LiteLLM, Maxim AI, Microsoft Azure, and TrueFoundry – CrowdStrike extends the Falcon platform to unify visibility, protection, and control across AI

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it is extending CrowdStrike Falcon® AI Detection and Response (AIDR) across leading AI gateway partners, including Databricks, Google Cloud, JetStream Security, Kong, LiteLLM, Maxim AI, Microsoft Azure, and TrueFoundry, delivering AI’s security control plane.

As enterprises move AI into production, AI traffic spans multiple gateways, APIs, and models, fragmenting visibility and increasing exposure to prompt injection, data leakage, and adversary manipulation. Securing AI requires visibility and control across this interaction layer, where prompts, agents, and models operate in real time.

CrowdStrike addresses this by extending Falcon AIDR through native integrations with its AI gateway partners. The result: correlated telemetry, threat detection, and consistent policy enforcement as AI scales.

"Every enterprise has AI in production across multiple gateways, models, and APIs. That's not a future state, it's today's attack surface,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. “With Falcon AIDR and our AI gateway ecosystem, CrowdStrike makes the Falcon platform AI’s security control plane, so organizations benefit from unified visibility and protection wherever their AI runs."

This open ecosystem approach will expand CrowdStrike Falcon® platform protection across the AI stack:

• Protect AI at the gateway: Integrations with Azure API Management, Databricks, Google Cloud, JetStream Security, Kong, LiteLLM, Maxim AI, and TrueFoundry apply threat detection, data protection, access controls, and policy enforcement directly to AI interactions – without requiring changes to existing architectures.
• Secure the AI interaction layer: Falcon AIDR protects prompts, responses, agents, and models – stopping prompt injection, jailbreak attempts, and data exposure in real time.
• Unify visibility across AI activity: Capture and correlate telemetry across users, applications, gateways, and models to expose hidden risk.
• Enforce protection in real time: Inline controls enable immediate enforcement without disrupting AI workflows.
• Extending across the Falcon platform: AIDR feeds Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM, enabling cross-domain detection and response across AI, endpoint, identity, cloud, SaaS, and third-party data sources.

With a growing ecosystem of AI gateway partners, CrowdStrike is extending the Falcon platform to bring AI security together, giving organizations the visibility and control to scale AI with confidence.
