CrowdStrike’s launch of Charlotte AI—its agentic AI architecture now embedded within the Falcon platform—marks a decisive shift in how risk is not only detected, but addressed. With its triad of capabilities (Agentic Detection Triage, Agentic Response, and Agentic Workflows), Charlotte introduces a new operating model: one where AI systems autonomously assess, act, and learn within predefined parameters.

The implication for Integrated Risk Management (IRM) is profound. These are not just smarter alerts or faster forensics. They are machine-initiated decisions with immediate governance, compliance, and operational consequences. And that demands a new framework—one that aligns autonomous action with enterprise risk oversight.
