Computing Leaders Plan to Use ‘Good’ AI to Tackle ‘Bad’ AI Attacks
Dell and CrowdStrike announced today that they will be collaborating to aid businesses in protecting against cyberattacks using AI. This collaboration will help in protecting against generative AI, stealth social engineering and endpoint attacks.
What’s Happening & Why This Matters
Dell will be adding CrowdStrike’s Falcon extended detection and response (XDR) platform to its current managed detection and response (MDR) service. This XDR platform uses APIs and an open architecture to collect and analyze telemetry data, allowing for real-time access and measurable gains in attack detection and response.
In order to help customers battle against attacks, Dell’s resellers will now have access to AI-based technologies. They will also offer customized services to their customers, using CrowdStrike’s’ XDR platform as the foundation.
The future of AI security is predicted to be the combination of human intuition with AI’s ability to parse data at scale, defining the future of AI security. The aim is to predict how every potential threat will progress, from hands-on-keyboard attacks to highly automated ones that rely on gen AI.
t/f Summary: What’s Next
Looking forward, businesses of all sizes will have a powerful AI-native platform to stop breaches. Dell and CrowdStrike bring the right combination of technology with the Falcon platform, all the while making cybersecurity easy, consumable, and effective for organizations of all sizes. It’s a win-win for Dell’s reseller channel getting a proven AI-based platform to expand service offerings, and for CrowdStrike, extending their reach into more resellers and customers.
