New Street Spotlight card: CrowdStrike adds an AI Kill Switch to Falcon Guardian. CrowdStrike says an authorized administrator can now stop a rogue AI agent, block its relaunch and cut its network access. Quote from George Kurtz, CEO and founder, CrowdStrike, in CrowdStrike's Nov. 3 press release: When you deploy agents with a kill switch, you stay in control. Available today, it stops agents first at an AI gateway; CrowdStrike says the endpoint stop comes soon. Guardian, generally available since September 2026, includes the Falcon AI Gateway at no additional cost. New Street View: CrowdStrike sells control as the gate to wider agent use; for now the stop runs at the gateway, not the device. Sources: CrowdStrike press releases and blog, Nov. 3, 2026.
