CrowdStrike adds an 'AI kill switch' for rogue agents
CrowdStrike launched a Falcon feature that lets admins stop unauthorised AI agents, block them from restarting and cut their network access, and it's reported to be buying two AI-security firms, Fiddler AI and Dreadnode, for about $495 million combined (per the Wall Street Journal).
Why it mattersAimed at larger companies, but the idea scales down: know which agents run on your computers and have a way to switch them off.
