CrowdStrike Launches Agentic MDR to Automate Security Operations

Cybersecurity company CrowdStrike has launched Agentic MDR, a new managed detection and response service that uses intelligent agents to automate security workflows inside its Falcon Complete offering.

Agentic MDR deploys agents built and orchestrated by Falcon Complete analysts to automate investigation and response tasks that would otherwise require manual intervention.

CrowdStrike said the system uses a closed-loop model that improves through repeated engagements, keeping human analysts in the loop while automating high-friction parts of the security operations workflow.

The launch comes as attackers increase the use of AI in their operations. CrowdStrike reported an 89% year-over-year rise in AI-enabled adversary activity and said the average eCrime breakout time has fallen to 29 minutes, compressing the window available for security teams to detect and respond to threats.
