What is CrowdStrike Falcon Guardian (AIDR)?

AI agents are programs that act on a person's behalf, inheriting their permissions and working at machine speed. That creates a new security problem: instructions hidden in a web page or prompt can steer a language model into behavior nobody intended. CrowdStrike describes a security category called AI detection and response (AIDR) as one that detects and responds to threats aimed at, or coming from, AI systems. CrowdStrike Falcon Guardian is the company's AIDR product. The maker describes it as helping organizations discover and govern AI use, secure AI agents while they run, protect sensitive data, and respond to AI threats, by linking agent activity with endpoint telemetry, meaning activity data recorded on the computer where the agent runs.
