CrowdStrike launched an AI Kill Switch in Falcon Guardian on Tuesday that lets an authorized administrator stop an AI agent, block it from launching again and cut its access to the company network. The control is available now, the company said, and logs every action.

The release describes the sensor stopping agents at the gateway first, with endpoint enforcement coming "soon." That limits the current scope of the containment capability even as administrators gain a way to interrupt agent activity.
