CrowdStrike officially launched its new AI Partner Specialization during Fal.Con 2026. The newly designed system is run in conjunction with the CrowdStrike Accelerate Partner Program. The program also creates an all-inclusive security framework for the emerging agentic enterprise. Today’s enterprises need holistic protection on the infrastructure, modeling, application, and identity fronts. Consequently, CrowdStrike empowers each certified AI Partner to build, resell, manage, and deliver advanced defenses.
This strategic initiative directly aligns financial models and technical access with enterprise deployment demands. Therefore, corporate customers gain broader access to specialized guidance while adopting machine-learning tools.
“AI is reshaping the enterprise, creating an entirely new technology stack, operating model, and attack surface – and security must be foundational to all of it,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. “CrowdStrike is bringing together the ecosystem that will secure the agentic era. We’re giving partners the expertise, access, and economics to build, resell, manage, and deliver security with CrowdStrike as customers transform with AI. This is bigger than a partner program: it’s how we scale trusted AI innovation across the industry and give every organization the confidence to put AI to work.”
Structured Paths for Enterprise Adoption and Integration
The newly introduced framework establishes four direct tracks for every participating AI Partner. First, partners can resell protection using CrowdStrike Falcon Flex. Second, managed service providers deliver continuous security while expanding recurring business models. Third, software builders create custom autonomous agents through Charlotte AI AgentWorks and Falcon Foundry. Fourth, global systems integrators design and deploy complete enterprise transformations.
CrowdStrike also introduced the Verified Agent certification to validate partner-developed tools. This certification enables each verified AI Partner to distribute customized solutions safely through the CrowdStrike Marketplace. Industry leaders strongly endorsed the initiative across the cybersecurity ecosystem.
