CrowdStrike has announced an expansion of its strategic collaboration with Intel to optimize the CrowdStrike Falcon platform for Intel-powered AI PCs.
AI PCs are reshaping workplace productivity as AI assistants process sensitive data directly on the device. This shift expands the attack surface and introduces new risks to the endpoint. As AI itself becomes a target, organizations require purpose-built protection to support business tasks without fear of compromise.
The collaboration combines the Falcon platform’s capabilities with Intel’s on-device AI acceleration across CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs. This integration delivers real-time threat detection and data protection into AI-driven workflows, enabling organizations to respond faster, protect sensitive data, and maintain control as AI becomes embedded in daily operations.
“The rise of AI PCs is changing not just how work gets done, but where execution and risk live,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer, CrowdStrike. “As AI moves directly onto the endpoint, security has to operate where those interactions happen. With Intel as a lead AI PC innovation partner, our collaboration extends Falcon directly into that layer, so customers can protect sensitive data and close the gap between detection and containment.”
Falcon Data Security discovers, classifies, and enforces policies to prevent data exposure and block leakage as employees interact with AI assistants, browsers, and local applications. The solution leverages CrowdStrike’s adversary intelligence combined with Intel’s NPUs and silicon-level telemetry, including Intel Threat Detection Technology, to identify and stop attacks that can evade traditional defenses. Intel's silicon-level telemetry further correlates threat activity with Falcon’s endpoint, identity, and cloud signals for full visibility into user, device, and data behavior.
Intel vPro supports hardware-assisted recovery and fleet management, allowing IT teams to restore and secure systems even when the operating system is unavailable. The lightweight Falcon agent provides high-performance protection without impacting user experience across enterprise fleets.
“AI PCs are bringing powerful AI capabilities directly to the endpoint, creating new opportunities for performance and innovation,” said Jen Larson, General Manager, Commercial Client Segments, Client Computing Group, Intel. “By combining Intel’s AI PC architectures with CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform, we’re enabling real-time security and data protection on the device without compromising performance or user experience, expanding our joint roadmap and co-engineering pipeline to further accelerate delivery of AI based security at the edge."
Together, CrowdStrike and Intel are closing the gap between where AI runs and where security operates, delivering optimized protection for the next generation of AI-powered endpoints.
