The Architecture of Agentic Defense: Inside the Falcon Platform

CrowdStrike's "The Architecture of Agentic Defense: Inside the Falcon Platform" outlines the challenges and solutions in modern cybersecurity, emphasizing the need for an integrated system where data, semantic meaning, and AI-driven processes operate cohesively. The blog discusses the limitations of current AI tools that work on fragmented data requiring manual correlation, which hinders rapid response to AI-accelerated attacks. The Falcon Platform aims to overcome these limitations through its Enterprise Graph, which unifies data across security domains, and Charlotte AI expert agents that apply consistent reasoning frameworks. These agents perform tasks like detection triage and malware analysis, operating with consistent inputs and explainable decision paths. The platform also introduces Charlotte AgentWorks for creating custom agents to address unique organizational requirements, while Charlotte Agentic SOAR offers adaptive orchestration that constructs response logic from evidence rather than static templates. This dynamic architecture seeks to provide scalable, governed, and adaptable security operations that keep pace with evolving adversary tactics.
