Market Chatter: CrowdStrike Holdings CEO Warns AI Exposes Cyber Gaps

07:57 PM EDT, 08/27/2026 (MT Newswires) -- CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD) CEO George Kurtz said the rapid rise of artificial intelligence is exposing gaps in corporate cybersecurity defenses and making older tools inadequate, CNBC reported Thursday, citing Kurtz's interview with CNBC's "Mad Money". Speaking after earnings, Kurtz warned that even companies spending heavily on security remain vulnerable as AI accelerates the speed of attacks, the report said. He cited examples including Anthropic's Mythos model and an OpenAI rogue agent incident as evidence of how advanced AI can exploit weaknesses faster, according to the report. Kurtz said the company's Falcon platform uses AI to counter increasingly AI-driven threats, CNBC reported. (Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
