CrowdStrike Launches AI Agent 'Kill Switch,' Plans to Acquire Fiddler AI

CrowdStrike launched an AI agent kill switch to stop unauthorized activity in corporate networks and announced plans to acquire AI observability startup Fiddler AI for roughly $400 million.

Fiddler's technology will provide visibility into AI agent decisions and behavior monitoring, helping security teams investigate unexpected actions before and after deployment.
