CrowdStrike launches generative AI-based cybersecurity analyst

Cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike has launched a new generative artificial intelligence-based assistant called Charlotte AI. Using this AI cybersecurity analyst, all kinds of users – both experts and novices – can address critical challenges, claimed CrowdStrike. It also aims to close the cybersecurity skill gap and speed up the response time to stay ahead of adversaries. 

“With the introduction of Charlotte AI, we’re delivering the next innovation that will help users of all skill levels improve their ability to stop breaches while reducing security operations complexity,” said Mike Sentonas, president of CrowdStrike. “Our approach has always been rooted in the belief that the combination of AI and human intelligence together will transform cybersecurity. We believe our continuous feedback loop on human-validated content is critical, and because of this, no other vendor will be able to match the security and business outcomes of CrowdStrike’s approach to generative AI.” 

Charlotte AI will let customers ask questions in natural language and receive answers from the CrowdStrike Falcon platform. Falcon is the company’s cloud-based solution offering security-as-a-service to customers. Charlotte AI is built on the company’s high-fidelity security data that includes ‘trillions of security events’ captured in the CrowdStrike Threat Graph, asset telemetry from users, devices, identities, cloud workloads, and the company’s threat intelligence.

Charlotte AI will be able to automate repetitive tasks like data collection, extraction, and basic threat search and detection, and accelerate enterprise-wise extended detection and response (XDR) use cases across every attack surface and third-party product directly from the Falcon. Charlotte AI will also leverage continuous, human feedback from across Falcon’s managed threat hunting, managed detection and response, and other services and intelligence.
