CrowdStrike and Anthropic: AI for Critical Infrastructure

Cybercriminals are increasingly using artificial intelligence to accelerate their attacks and expand their scale. This critically reduces the time available for specialists to detect and respond. When infrastructure faces threats operating at machine speed, it needs symmetrical protection. That is why the program combines CrowdStrike’s deep expertise with Anthropic’s advanced AI research, creating a platform for sharing protection practices in organizations that maintain the vitality of these environments.

For many years, the CrowdStrike Falcon platform has expanded its capabilities beyond endpoints to encompass operational environments. The specialized CrowdStrike Falcon for XIoT solution provides organizations with visibility and protection for all assets in IT, OT, and connected device networks. Specialists can detect unmanaged and outdated components, as well as assess vulnerabilities without destructive scanning that could disrupt the operation of critical systems. The platform captures threats as they move between IT and OT, ensuring a response that considers the broader context of the entire enterprise.

Organizations strive to have the freedom to choose the best technologies and not limit their architecture to a single model or vendor. This principle is applied by CrowdStrike to cybersecurity, building an open AI ecosystem. The partnership with Anthropic is a key example of this strategy. In particular, the large language model Claude is already available in the CrowdStrike Charlotte AI system, where its analytical capabilities combine with deep security context. This allows for the analysis of large volumes of disparate data and provides specialists with clear tools to neutralize threats.

Artificial intelligence technologies evolve too rapidly for security innovations to be created in isolation. No company can independently guarantee protection in the new conditions. Access to Anthropic’s technical guidance and community of leaders will accelerate the implementation of protective innovations. Countering modern cybercriminals requires combining the best achievements of AI and threat analytics with subsequently transferring this advantage directly into the hands of infrastructure defenders.

The collaboration between CrowdStrike and Anthropic forms a fundamentally new approach to protecting critical infrastructure, where generative AI plays a central role in countering attacks on converged IT/OT environments. Using advanced tools allows for early threat detection and ensures the continuity of critical processes.

The company iiTD, as a distributor of CrowdStrike solutions, provides partners with expert support at all stages of solution implementation. Our team conducts technical consultations, assists with security architecture design, and accompanies the deployment of the platform for reliable protection of IT and OT infrastructure of any complexity.
