About this episode
On this special episode of Live from The Compound, Josh Brown is joined by George Kurtz, President, CEO, and co-founder of CrowdStrike to discuss: the state of cybersecurity in 2026, how AI is reshaping the threat landscape, how AI agents, non-human identities, and browser-based workflows expand the attack surface, common root causes of modern breaches and how defenders can reduce risk, CrowdStrike’s announced acquisitions and the move toward continuous identity and zero standing privilege. They will also cover why the browser has become a primary control plane for enterprise security, securing AI workloads, agents, and data with Falcon AI Detection & Response, the shift from AI copilots to autonomous, agentic security operations and why unifying endpoint, identity, cloud, and browser security matters in the AI era.
