AI accelerates cyber threats, outpacing legacy tools, CrowdStrike CEO warns

CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz says AI is speeding up attackers’ ability to identify and exploit vulnerabilities, exposing gaps even in highly funded firms and rendering legacy security tools inadequate. He cites the Mythos model and recent AI-related incidents to illustrate the shift, while emphasizing CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform uses AI to defend against AI-powered attacks. The company reported a “quarter of records” with $1.47 billion in revenue and $5.84 billion in ARR ahead of Fal.Con, signaling strong demand for AI-enabled cybersecurity.
