Securing Al Where It Executes: The Endpoint Is the New Control Point for Al Agent Security

Artificial intelligence has crossed a critical threshold. Al agents are no longer passive tools — they're autonomous systems that execute commands, modify files, and access sensitive data directly on enterprise endpoints with system-level privileges.

As the attack surface shifts to the execution layer, the endpoint becomes the new control point for governing and protecting Al activity — fundamentally changing the security model.

In this white paper, you'll learn how to:

  • Address security risks introduced by leading Al agent platforms
  • Identify and close critical gaps left by legacy defenses like network perimeters and signature-based controls
  • Achieve runtime visibility, governance, and threat detection for agentic Al with the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform
