CrowdStrike Sees Growth as AI Agents Target Systems, CEO Says
CEO George Kurtz says AI agents deployed by businesses are increasingly operating outside their intended boundaries, stealing data, changing permissions, and even taking control of systems at scale. CrowdStrike says its AI Detection and Response delivered its best quarter, with annual recurring revenue nearly tripling, Claude usage up 400%, and custom agent deployments growing more than 100%. Second-quarter revenue rose to $1.47B and adjusted EPS hit 31 cents.
