CrowdStrike announces strategic partnership with Perplexity

CrowdStrike (CRWD) and Perplexity announced a strategic partnership to integrate the CrowdStrike Falcon(R) platform with Comet Enterprise, giving enterprise administrators an additional layer of security and monitoring in Perplexity’s AI-native browser. The Falcon platform will be available by opt-in, providing enhanced detection, governance, and data protection configurations that stop web threats, control data movement, and provide visibility and response on unmanaged devices. “The browser is no longer just where people access information – it’s becoming the interaction layer for enterprise AI. As AI scales across the workforce, organizations expect it to operate within their existing security architecture and controls,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. “Perplexity has led the way in secure AI browsing since launching Comet, and we’re excited to partner with them to extend CrowdStrike’s protections into AI-native workflows. CrowdStrike was built to secure the AI era, and together, we’re securing AI where work happens – governing agentic risk within a single, AI-native platform.”
