CrowdStrike Charlotte AI Achieves FedRAMP High Authorization, Empowering Public Sector Defense with Agentic SOC
In an era where cyber threats are evolving at an unprecedented pace, CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) has announced a groundbreaking milestone: CrowdStrike® Charlotte AI has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High Authorization. This designation positions Charlotte AI as a transformative force in public sector cybersecurity, enabling government agencies to combat AI-accelerated threats with unparalleled speed and precision. By automating high-impact workflows and leveraging the expertise of elite security analysts, Charlotte AI is redefining how defenders operate—shifting their role from alert handlers to strategic orchestrators within the agentic Security Operations Center (SOC).
Revolutionizing Public Sector Cybersecurity
Government agencies are prime targets for sophisticated cyber adversaries who increasingly weaponize AI to accelerate every stage of the threat chain. These advancements collapse the already narrow window defenders have to detect, analyze, and respond to threats. To counter this, CrowdStrike has introduced Charlotte AI into GovCloud, making it accessible to federal, state, and local agencies through the Falcon® platform.
“Government agencies face some of the most advanced cyber threats in the world and demand the highest level of protection,” said Michael Sentonas, President of CrowdStrike. “By bringing Charlotte AI to GovCloud, security teams can automate high-impact workflows with the expertise of the industry’s best SOC operators, stopping sophisticated threats at the speed of AI with precision and control.”
Charlotte AI is not just another tool—it represents a paradigm shift in cybersecurity operations. Trained on years of real-world decisions made by Falcon® Complete analysts and incident response experts, Charlotte AI mimics the thought processes, reasoning, and actions of elite security professionals but operates at machine speed. This capability flips the advantage back to defenders, eliminating time-consuming tasks and allowing human analysts to focus on strategic initiatives that strengthen overall security posture.
Key Capabilities of Charlotte AI in GovCloud
The initial capabilities of Charlotte AI available in GovCloud through the FedRAMP-authorized Falcon platform include:
- Detection Triage Agent:
The Detection Triage Agent automates the process of evaluating security detections with over 98% accuracy, significantly reducing manual effort. On average, this feature eliminates more than 40 hours of repetitive work per week, enabling SOC teams to scale their operations efficiently and prioritize responses to the most critical threats. - Charlotte AI Actions in Falcon Fusion SOAR:
This functionality allows analysts to embed AI-driven reasoning directly into playbooks using a simple drag-and-drop interface. For instance, Charlotte AI can determine whether a device should be contained based on organizational policies and generate tailored communications for executives, technical teams, and customers. Additionally, its automatic translation capabilities ensure global reach, breaking down language barriers during incident response.
These innovations empower public sector defenders to stay ahead of adversaries by streamlining workflows, enhancing decision-making, and accelerating response times—all while maintaining complete control over AI-driven actions.
Meeting Rigorous Security Standards
Achieving FedRAMP High Authorization underscores CrowdStrike’s commitment to meeting the stringent security and compliance requirements of U.S. government agencies. This certification validates that Charlotte AI ensures data confidentiality, integrity, and availability across mission-critical operations. It also reinforces CrowdStrike’s dedication to upholding the highest standards of cybersecurity and information management, both independently and in alignment with government-led frameworks.
For government entities, this means they can deploy Charlotte AI with confidence, knowing it adheres to the most rigorous security protocols. The integration of Charlotte AI into the Falcon platform further enhances its value, providing a unified solution that combines cutting-edge AI capabilities with proven threat detection and response tools.
Empowering Defenders in the Age of AI
The introduction of Charlotte AI into the public sector marks a pivotal moment in the fight against cyber threats. As adversaries leverage AI to increase the speed and sophistication of attacks, defenders must adopt equally advanced technologies to maintain an edge. Charlotte AI achieves this by combining the analytical prowess of elite security professionals with the scalability and efficiency of machine learning.
By automating routine and high-friction tasks, Charlotte AI frees up human analysts to focus on higher-value activities, such as developing proactive defense strategies and addressing complex incidents. This transformation aligns with the concept of the agentic SOC, where humans and AI collaborate seamlessly to achieve superior outcomes.
