CrowdStrike and Perplexity have announced a strategic partnership to integrate the CrowdStrike Falcon platform with Comet Enterprise, Perplexity’s AI-native browser, providing enterprises with enhanced security, monitoring, and governance capabilities. Falcon will be offered as an opt-in capability that will allow organizations to detect potential threats, data movement, and visibility for unmanaged devices while protecting sensitive data within AI-driven workflows. The 2026 CrowdStrike Global Threat Report revealed that operations by AI-enabled adversaries grew by 89% year over year, while 82% of detections in 2025 were malware-free, emphasizing the potential risks that come with AI adoption. The collaboration also builds on CrowdStrike’s acquisition of Seraphic, strengthening browser-layer runtime protection and enabling real-time data protection during AI interactions.

“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.” “CrowdStrike is one of the most trusted names in enterprise security, with a proven track record of helping organizations protect their most important workflows,” said Dmitry Shevelenko, chief business officer at Perplexity.
