CrowdStrike and ExtraHop Expand Partnership to Stop Shadow AI Risks

Crowdstrike, April 30,2025

New integration empowers SOC teams to detect and contain unauthorized AI usage with real-time, unified visibility and automated response across the enterprise

CrowdStrike announced an expanded partnership to help enterprises detect and contain shadow AI risks. By ingesting market-leading network intelligence from ExtraHop into CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, the new integration gives SOC teams real-time visibility into unauthorized AI service usage and the ability to automate response actions - protecting sensitive data without slowing innovation.

Shadow AI is rapidly becoming a critical risk for enterprises as employees use and adopt AI tools outside the visibility of IT and security teams. These tools frequently bypass established security controls, creating blind spots that adversaries can exploit to access sensitive data or introduce misconfigurations that lead to breaches.

To close this gap, CrowdStrike and ExtraHop are giving SOC teams unified visibility and control over AI service usage across endpoints, networks, cloud environments, and on-premises infrastructure. By integrating deep network telemetry from ExtraHop with first- and third-party data from Falcon Next-Gen SIEM and automated remediation from Falcon Fusion SOAR, security teams can identify unauthorized AI models and agents, visualize usage patterns and automate containment actions to reduce the risk of sensitive data exposure.
