CrowdStrike Introduces AI Agent Kill Switch and Announces Intent to Acquire Fiddler AI

According to Decrypt, CrowdStrike has launched a new feature allowing security teams to disable unauthorized AI agents via a dedicated gateway. The company describes the tool as a “kill switch” that enables administrators to terminate or restrict the operation of AI-driven processes that fall outside approved parameters.

Separately, CrowdStrike indicated it plans to acquire Fiddler AI. The acquisition goal, the source notes, is to improve the ability to monitor and audit software systems that operate autonomously. No timeline or financial terms were provided.
