AI Detection & Response
The EDR moment for AI. CrowdStrike Falcon AIDR is the runtime security platform that detects, investigates, and stops threats targeting — and originating from — AI agents across endpoints, SaaS, and cloud. Deployed by QMasters for 240+ enterprise customers.
— CATEGORY DEFINITION
What is AIDR?
AIDR is a unified, runtime security category: detecting, investigating, and responding to threats targeting — and originating from — AI systems, across every plane where AI operates: endpoints, SaaS applications, and cloud.
The defining challenge of the AI era is not the model or the prompt — it is the agent: autonomous software that runs code, calls tools, uses credentials, and moves data at machine speed with the full privileges of the user who deployed it.
AIDR stops what is going wrong at the moment of execution, before the threat propagates. CrowdStrike pioneered the category with Falcon® AIDR — the EDR moment, for AI.

— THREE AIDR PRINCIPLES
Why existing tools can't close the gap
Runtime, not posture
AI-SPM and governance tools act before and after the action. AIDR inspects every prompt, tool call, and agent action during execution, at millisecond cadence — the only moment when blocking is possible.
Unified, not point tools
Agents cross endpoint, cloud, and SaaS in a single session. Point tools produce fragmented signals. AIDR correlates one attack chain across all three planes before the threat propagates.
Action, not observation
Detection without response is a log entry. AIDR blocks, redacts, isolates, contains, and revokes at the point of execution — before data leaves your environment.
| Category | What it does | What it cannot do |
|---|---|---|
| AI-SPM | Discovers and assesses AI assets and configuration risk | Observe runtime behaviour or interject during execution |
| AI Governance | Policy frameworks, access controls, compliance dashboards | Act at the moment of execution or detect live agent misalignment |
| AI Firewalls | Inspect and filter traffic at the model boundary | See cross-plane behaviour or detect agent compromise at runtime |
| AI DLP | Detect sensitive data in prompts and AI outputs | Detect compromised agents, credential abuse, or tool-chain exploitation |
| Falcon AIDR | Unified runtime detection & response — blocks, redacts, isolates, and contains across all planes at the moment of execution. | |
— WHAT FALCON AIDR DELIVERS TODAY
Two halves of one platform
Securing Workforce AI Use
- Shadow AI discoveryFinds employee AI tools and agents across endpoints, AI gateways, MCP servers, cloud, and Copilot ecosystems.
- Granular access controlAttribute-based policy by user, application, and model version — enforcing your AI governance policy in practice, not just on paper.
- Real-time data protectionDetects and blocks PII, secrets, keys, and regulated data before exposure. Multiple redaction methods including format-preserving encryption.
Securing AI Development at Runtime
- Prompt injection & jailbreak defenceStops attacks across 200+ tracked techniques. Validates MCP server communications to prevent unauthorised tool execution.
- Response inspectionDetects malicious URLs, domains, IPs, and entities inside AI responses in real time.
- Kubernetes prompt-layer detectionFalcon Container Sensor inspects prompts and responses in K8s AI apps — no proxies, no re-architecture. Audit trails stream to Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.
— COVERAGE SCOPE
Seven layers of the AI estate
A platform that secures one layer or one plane is not doing AIDR. Falcon covers all seven layers across all three planes — endpoint, SaaS, and cloud.
| Layer | Threat | What Falcon AIDR covers |
|---|---|---|
| Data | Leaks & poisoning | Prevent egress into AI systems, redact PII and secrets in real time, detect pipeline poisoning. |
| Models | Data poisoning | Govern access, inspect interactions, monitor for manipulation and adversarial inputs. |
| Prompts | Injection attacks | Detect direct and indirect injection delivered through documents and tool outputs. |
| Agents | Tool-chain abuse | Monitor intent, enforce least agency, flag chain-of-action anomalies mid-session. |
| Identities | Hijacking | Govern which identities can invoke AI; least privilege for every non-human principal. |
| Infrastructure | Resource hijacking | Discover shadow AI, secure the runtime, monitor the MCP supply chain. |
| Interactions | Malicious A2A calls | Inspect every prompt, response, tool call, and MCP session end-to-end. |
Falcon Sensor Fusion
Deep integration with the Falcon endpoint sensor will deliver a live inventory of the entire agent fleet (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, Codex, shadow agents), behavioral risk scoring with a causal graph linking every prompt to every downstream OS effect, and one-click global block rules — discovery to enforcement at machine speed, from one console. No new agent. No new deployment.
— WHY QMASTERS
Deployed by QMasters — Israel's CrowdStrike Elite Partner
We run AIDR ourselves
We deployed Falcon AIDR collectors across our own fleet before recommending them to any customer. We know exactly what each collector sees — and what it misses.
Same sensor, same console
Already running Falcon? AIDR is the next capability — no new agent, no new deployment motion. It lands inside StrongHold MCSS, the managed service covering 240+ enterprise customers.
4 TB / day telemetry
Our SOC ingests 4 TB of Falcon telemetry daily. AI-related events are fused with identity and SaaS signals — same analysts, same portal, same escalation path as a ransomware incident.
200+ prompt injection techniques
CrowdStrike's adversarial prompt taxonomy, built from analysis of 300,000+ adversarial prompts, backs every detection. QMasters tunes the policy for your environment.
Shadow AI visibility first
We start every AIDR engagement with a shadow AI assessment — finding the agents you didn't know were running — before scoping enforcement.
Proof of value on real workloads
No lab demos. We run a proof of value on real workloads in your environment and report what your agents are actually doing before any commercial commitment.

The EDR moment for AI is here
Every foundational shift in computing has created a new security category. The internet created network security. The endpoint created EDR. Cloud created cloud security. Each came faster than the one before it. None has moved faster than AI.
The organizations that recognized the endpoint as the new control point before the category was named led the decade that followed. The same decision is in front of you — and the window is narrower this time.

Frequently asked questions
AIDR stands for AI Detection and Response — a runtime security category that detects, investigates, and responds to threats targeting or originating from AI systems across endpoints, SaaS, and cloud.
AI-SPM assesses configuration risk before and after an action. AIDR intercepts during execution — blocking, redacting, or isolating at the millisecond a rogue tool call fires. Posture management tells you an agent is over-permissioned; AIDR stops it from using those permissions.
No. AI DLP inspects sensitive data in prompts and outputs — one of seven coverage layers. It cannot detect compromised agents, behavioural drift, or tool-chain abuse, none of which involve data crossing a network boundary.
Yes. CrowdStrike Falcon AIDR reached GA on 15 December 2025. Falcon Sensor Fusion (live agent fleet inventory + causal graph) is pre-beta, with GA planned for Q3 2026.
Yes. 45 % of employees use AI tools without informing IT. Even approved agents inherit the user's full OS privileges and can take consequential actions — exfiltrate files, call unauthorised APIs — without any human confirmation step.
QMasters operates AIDR as part of StrongHold MCSS — the same sensor, the same console, same 24/7 SOC. No additional agent, no new deployment motion. We scope a proof of value on your real workloads before any commitment.
