# CrowdStrike Falcon platform expansion and AI agent security > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/crowdstrike-financial-and-market-performance > Updated: 2026-09-11T16:35:44.000Z. Sources: 85. Developments: 10. CrowdStrike continues to expand its Falcon platform with a heavy focus on artificial intelligence and agentic security. Building on its previous announcements at the Fal.Con conference, the company is integrating NVIDIA Nemotron models into the QuiltWorks project via Falcon IQ to automate the validation, prioritization, and remediation of vulnerabilities using models from OpenAI and Anthropic. To secure the growing landscape of autonomous software, CrowdStrike introduced the Agentic Identity Provider (Agentic IdP) to manage identities for AI agents. This tool aims to provide every AI agent with a trusted identity, connecting them to the humans and workloads they represent through continuous, context-aware authorization. The company also rebranded Falcon AIDR to Falcon Guardian, which now includes capabilities for shadow AI discovery and access control. These efforts are supported by the SafeMind automated attack-defense system, developed in the Cyber Superintelligence Lab to orchestrate detection and response. Addressing software supply chain threats, CrowdStrike launched Real-Time Supply Chain Attack Protection. This capability is natively embedded in the Falcon sensor across Windows, macOS, and Linux to intercept package manager transactions and block malicious open-source packages before code execution. At Fal.Con 2026, CrowdStrike announced further ecosystem expansions through strategic partnerships. Rubrik is collaborating to provide an agentic identity resilience workflow, utilizing Charlotte Agentic SOAR to automate detection, containment, and recovery. Additionally, VAST Data and CrowdStrike will integrate Falcon sensors into the VAST AI Operating System to protect the entire AI lifecycle, from infrastructure to data pipelines, using Falcon Next-Gen SIEM and Falcon Guardian solutions. This expansion aligns with broader industry trends identified by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, who stated at a Goldman Sachs conference that cybersecurity is the “next major application area for artificial intelligence.” In its second-quarter fiscal results, CrowdStrike reported $1.17 billion in revenue, marking a 26% year-over-year increase. ## Claims - Salesforce reported revenue of $11.35 billion for the second quarter, an 11% increase year-over-year.
