CrowdStrike launches AI kill switch

CrowdStrike launched a new AI kill switch Tuesday at its Fal.Con Europe 2026 conference in Barcelona to shut down rogue artificial intelligence agents. The feature, built into Falcon Guardian, lets security teams terminate misbehaving agents and block their network access immediately. CrowdStrike shares closed at a record $278.86 on October 6 before retreating roughly 12% amid weakness in technology stocks.
