CrowdStrike has announced the Cyber Superintelligence Lab, a research organisation focused on applying frontier AI to cyberdefence and AI safety.The Lab brings together CrowdStrike’s AI researchers, offensive security operators and incident responders under a common research programme. Dr. Bartley Richardson, chief AI and autonomous systems officer, will lead the Lab.The Lab will use security data, adversary intelligence and testing environments associated with the CrowdStrike Falcon platform to develop cybersecurity technologies for AI-driven and agentic environments.Its research will draw on security signals from endpoints, identity systems, cloud workloads, data stores and Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.
CrowdStrike said its platform processes trillions of events each day, with security signals mapped and labelled by analysts and associated with investigation outcomes.The Lab will also use threat intelligence and incident response data collected over 15 years, including information on attack methods, incident activity and defensive measures.“Security is how AI scales,” said George Kurtz, CEO and founder of CrowdStrike.
“The Cyber Superintelligence Lab concentrates the PhDs, AI researchers, and the threat hunters who stop real attacks every day on the Falcon platform. That depth of applied AI talent belongs on the platform where breaches are stopped.”“The real test for AI in security is whether it can stop breaches,” said Dr. Richardson. “To accomplish this today, we need intelligence that operates at machine speed, continuously learning and improving.
It is the standard the whole industry will need to move towards in the face of AI-empowered adversaries.”
