CrowdStrike and OpenAI Partner for Enterprise AI Security
CrowdStrike has announced a new native integration that connects its Falcon Shield SaaS security platform with the OpenAI ChatGPT Enterprise Compliance API. This collaboration is designed to give mutual customers enhanced visibility and stronger security posture management for their ChatGPT Enterprise environments. The integration empowers security teams to effectively inventory and monitor AI agents throughout their organization. This includes tracking who created them, what data and systems they can access, and how they are shared, allowing for the consistent application of existing security controls.
As businesses increasingly adopt generative AI, Falcon Shield works alongside ChatGPT Enterprise’s own security and admin features to centralize visibility and control. This supports critical governance requirements for GPT-based agents without obstructing the pace of innovation.
The Challenge of Managing AI Agent Growth
The rise of agentic AI is transforming SaaS environments, with a rapid increase in AI agents designed to automate tasks, retrieve data, and integrate with internal systems on behalf of users. To meet compliance and governance standards, organizations require greater visibility into how these powerful tools are being used.
The new integration between Falcon Shield and the OpenAI ChatGPT Enterprise Compliance API provides IT and security teams with this crucial insight. Teams can now see all GPT agents active within their ChatGPT Enterprise environment, identify their creators, and understand what tools and systems they access and how they're shared.
Key Capabilities for AI Governance
With just a few clicks, this integration allows teams to monitor AI usage, audit external connections, and identify configurations that are too permissive. This ensures that AI agents are governed according to enterprise policies, complementing the security controls already built into ChatGPT Enterprise.
Specifically, organizations can now:
- Discover all GPT agents in their workspace: Gain a complete inventory of custom GPTs created by employees, such as budget analysis agents from the finance team or onboarding assistants from HR.
- Monitor the tools used by agents: Track whether agents are configured to use image generation, code interpretation, web searches, or custom actions that link to external systems.
- Detect overly permissive sharing settings: Easily flag GPTs that are shared publicly or across the entire company when they should be restricted. For example, a legal research GPT that has been accidentally made available to everyone.
- Monitor ChatGPT access to code: The integration helps surface connections to code repositories, including OpenAI Codex connections to GitHub. This gives security teams visibility into which AI services have access to code assets and what permissions they hold.
Strengthening Enterprise AI Security
This integration is designed for a seamless rollout, helping security teams uncover shadow AI, identify risky access patterns, and apply consistent governance across all their generative AI deployments. As more employees become "citizen developers" building custom GPTs, it's essential for security to keep pace without stifling creativity.
With CrowdStrike Falcon Shield, organizations can confidently embrace the power of generative AI while maintaining rigorous security. AI no longer needs to be a security blind spot; instead, it can be an integral part of a strengthened security posture.
