The modern SOC is in a crisis: Adversaries move at machine speed (in 2024, the average eCrime breakout time dropped to just 48 minutes¹), exploiting complexity while human analysts are overwhelmed by alerts. To close this gap, endpoint protection needs a fundamental shift.

This eBook explores how CrowdStrike is redefining endpoint security with CrowdStrike® Charlotte AI™, the purpose-built AI analyst and operator. Integrated directly into the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, Charlotte AI enables SOC teams to detect, investigate, and respond at machine speed.

This guide will help security leaders:

• Understand Why the SOC Is Broken: See why manual triage and alert fatigue create a "human bottleneck" that leads to long dwell times and missed threats.
• Master a Modern Security Approach: Discover how agentic AI moves beyond simple rules to deliver reasoning-based automation, closing the speed gap that adversaries exploit.
• Scale Expertise with Agentic AI: Learn how Charlotte AI removes more than 40 hours of manual work each week², scaling senior analyst expertise across every alert.
• Accelerate from Alert to Action: See how Charlotte AI Agentic Response jump-starts investigations, correlates evidence across domains, and enables automated, human-approved response workflows.
