CrowdStrike Launches AI Red Team Services to Secure AI Innovation

As organizations race to adopt generative AI (GenAI) to drive efficiency and innovation, they face a new and urgent security challenge. While AI-driven tools and large language models (LLMs) open vast opportunities, they also introduce unique vulnerabilities that adversaries are quick to exploit. From data exposure to supply-chain risks, the potential for threats to AI systems is growing just as fast as the technology itself.

Against this backdrop, today we’re announcing CrowdStrike AI Red Team Services, the latest breakthrough advancement by the industry-leading CrowdStrike Services team. CrowdStrike AI Red Team Services deliver proactive security assessments for AI systems and their integrations, and rigorously test them against emerging threats, to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

The Challenges of Securing GenAI Deployments

GenAI deployments, particularly those involving LLMs, bring significant security complexities. Unlike traditional applications, AI systems are often integrated with external data sources, plugins and APIs — each of which presents a potential attack surface. The challenge for organizations lies in protecting these integrations while ensuring AI systems remain resilient against fast-evolving threats.

GenAI vulnerabilities can appear throughout the model lifecycle — from training to deployment to model inference. Data poisoning attacks can compromise the integrity of AI systems by manipulating the data used to train these models. AI applications can also be vulnerable to remote code execution, should adversaries exploit AI’s external plugins and APIs to gain unauthorized access or control. Once deployed, LLMs can also be manipulated to disclose sensitive information, potentially leading to serious confidentiality breaches.

As adversaries adapt to exploit these emerging technologies, traditional security measures are insufficient. A proactive, AI-focused approach is required to address these specific risks and ensure GenAI systems are protected from even the most sophisticated attacks. CrowdStrike AI Red Team Services is designed to address precisely this need.

Introducing CrowdStrike AI Red Team Services

CrowdStrike AI Red Team Services are specialized cybersecurity services focused exclusively on AI systems, including LLMs and their complex integrations. With advanced red team exercises, penetration testing and tailored vulnerability assessments, CrowdStrike offers a comprehensive approach to AI security, helping organizations secure their GenAI deployments against adversarial manipulation and emerging threats.

CrowdStrike AI Red Team Services are available to existing or new CrowdStrike customers. With these services, customers get: 

Proactive AI Defense

CrowdStrike AI Red Team Services identify vulnerabilities before adversaries can exploit them.  Employing the Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) Top 10 risks for LLM Applications, CrowdStrike ensures comprehensive protection against the latest attack techniques, helping organizations address security gaps and misconfigurations before they become a problem.

Real-World Adversarial Emulations

Unlike traditional security testing, CrowdStrike’s approach leverages real-world adversarial emulations that mimic the tactics of known threat actors. Each exercise is tailored to a specific AI use case, ensuring organizations are protected against the most relevant and advanced threats. This customized testing process enables organizations to see how their AI systems would respond to real attacks, providing invaluable insight into potential security gaps.

Security Validation

Beyond identifying vulnerabilities, CrowdStrike AI Red Team Services provide actionable insights to help organizations strengthen the resilience of their AI applications. The service offers clear recommendations for securing AI integrations, safeguarding sensitive data and preventing unauthorized actions — ultimately enabling organizations to improve their long-term security posture for AI.

Innovate Securely in the Age of AI

CrowdStrike is a recognized leader in cybersecurity services, backed by cutting-edge technology, industry-leading research and deep expertise in adversary tactics. With the addition of AI Red Team Services, CrowdStrike is once again at the forefront, offering organizations a proactive way to protect their AI deployments from rapidly emerging threats.
