A security researcher disclosed a zero-day privilege escalation vulnerability in CrowdStrike Falcon on fully updated Windows 11 systems. CrowdStrike acknowledged the issue and advised customers to disable a specific Microsoft Office macro policy setting as a temporary mitigation. The company is currently investigating the flaw.
CrowdStrike launched Falcon IQ, a new security platform powered by AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and NVIDIA. The platform automates threat assessment and remediation. Ernst & Young (EY) also selected the Falcon platform to integrate into its EY.ai Value Blueprints for enterprise AI workloads.
Market reaction remains mixed as multiple analysts maintained bullish 'Buy' ratings. The Motley Fool trimmed its large position, citing a high valuation of 36 times forward sales. U.S. markets were closed for Labor Day, delaying a direct stock price reaction.
