CrowdStrike chief executive George Kurtz said agentic incidents doubled from July to August, then doubled again from August to September, according to AI Magazine’s account of his Fal.Con Europe keynote.
Why it mattersThat is Kurtz’s account of data presented by CrowdStrike, not an independently established measure of incidents across the industry. The figure gives a sharp sense of the trend the company says it is seeing, while leaving the underlying definition and count unclear. CrowdStrike used the event to announce new security controls for AI agents. But the doubling claim is the striking detail: when a company’s threat figures are doing that, readers are entitled to ask what is being counted.
Discuss: What evidence should security firms publish to make claims about rising AI-agent incidents convincing?
