  • CrowdStrike Unveils Charlotte AI AgentWorks Ecosystem to Enable Secure Agentic Security Operations

    Charlotte AI AgentWorks Ecosystem

    RSA 2026: CrowdStrike has launched the Charlotte AI AgentWorks Ecosystem, a new initiative designed to enable organizations to build, orchestrate, and scale secure AI-powered security agents.

    The Charlotte AI AgentWorks Ecosystem has been introduced in collaboration with global partners including Accenture, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Anthropic, Deloitte, Kroll, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Salesforce, and Telefónica Tech.

    The Charlotte AI AgentWorks Ecosystem empowers customers to leverage CrowdStrike’s no-code development platform alongside frontier AI models to create customized security agents.

    Built on the Falcon® platform, the ecosystem also opens new opportunities for partners to establish agentic security businesses while helping enterprises modernize their security operations.

    “AgentWorks enables every Falcon user to build their own agentic security workforce,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. “The future of security operations isn’t humans replaced by agents.

    It’s humans amplified by them. Our ecosystem makes the next-generation of security’s workforce available for organizations of all sizes today.”

    Enabling No-Code Security Agent Development

    At the core of the Charlotte AI AgentWorks Ecosystem is its no-code capability, allowing security teams to build, test, and deploy custom agents directly within the Falcon platform without writing code.

    The platform integrates enterprise-grade security and governance, ensuring safe deployment of AI-driven workflows.

    The Charlotte AI AgentWorks Ecosystem supports integrations with leading AI models such as Anthropic Claude, NVIDIA Nemotron, and OpenAI GPT.

    It also leverages AI infrastructure services including Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker, enabling organizations to choose from a range of frontier AI technologies to accelerate workflows across the security lifecycle.

    Expanding Opportunities for Partners

    The Charlotte AI AgentWorks Ecosystem is also designed as a platform for ecosystem partners, including global system integrators and technology providers like Accenture, Deloitte, Kroll, Salesforce, and Telefónica Tech.

    These organizations are leveraging the platform to design and deploy tailored security agents aligned with specific customer requirements.

    “Organizations face increasingly sophisticated threats that demand machine-speed security operations, yet many struggle to deploy trusted, purpose-built AI at scale,” said Rex Thexton, chief technology officer at Accenture Cybersecurity.

    “Accenture is working with CrowdStrike to address this challenge by bringing greater customization to the agentic SOC, helping clients build tailored agents they can trust. We’re proud to be an AgentWorks ecosystem launch partner and together with CrowdStrike, define the future of agentic security.”

    “Security teams are under pressure to respond faster and with greater precision as threats grow more complex,” said David Burg, global head of cyber risk at Kroll.

    “Charlotte AI AgentWorks helps us operationalize AI within managed detection and response – building tailored agents that accelerate investigations and response. Together with CrowdStrike, we’re helping organizations move faster to stop breaches.”

    “At Telefónica Tech, we believe the future of cybersecurity operations is agentic by design, where AI agents and human experts operate as a unified system,” said Alejandro Ramos Fraile, global cybersecurity director at Telefónica Tech.

    “With CrowdStrike’s Charlotte AI AgentWorks, we are accelerating our transition to an AI-Native SOC, industrializing our security expertise into scalable agents that enhance detection, response, and cyber resilience.”

    Charlotte Agentic SOAR Strengthens Orchestration

    A key component of the Charlotte AI AgentWorks Ecosystem is Charlotte Agentic SOAR, which enables orchestration and trust across the entire agentic security operations center (SOC) value chain.

    It unifies CrowdStrike’s Agentic Security Workforce, AgentWorks-built agents, and trusted third-party agents into a single coordinated system.

    The Charlotte AI AgentWorks Ecosystem is further reinforced by CrowdStrike’s native AI Detection and Response (AIDR), Agentic SOAR workflow controls, and AgentWorks guardrails, ensuring secure collaboration between agents and human analysts.

    Charlotte AI AgentWorks Ecosystem: Driving the Future of Agentic Security

    With the broader rollout of the Charlotte AI AgentWorks Ecosystem, CrowdStrike is expanding access to its ecosystem partners and customers. The initiative aims to accelerate innovation in agentic security, enabling organizations to deploy secure AI agents to detect and stop breaches more effectively.

    The Charlotte AI AgentWorks Ecosystem represents a strategic step toward building an AI-native cybersecurity framework, where automation, intelligence, and human expertise converge to strengthen enterprise security operations.
