CrowdStrike 2026 Threat Hunting Report: AI is Now Embedded Across Modern Adversary Operations

businesswire.com
CRWD The article discusses CrowdStrike's 2026 Threat Hunting Report, which highlights the increasing use of AI by adversaries. While the report is from CrowdStrike, the sentiment is neutral as it focuses on threat intelligence rather than company performance.

CrowdStrike 2026 Threat Hunting Report: AI is Now Embedded Across Modern Adversary Operations AUSTIN, Texas--( BUSINESS WIRE)-- CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today released the 2026 Threat Hunting Report, revealing that AI is now embedded across modern adversary operations. China-nexus adversaries exploited critical vulnerabilities within 24 hours of public proof-of-concept (PoC) release, while DPRK-nexus adversaries poisoned 131 trusted AI framework packages, demonstrating how AI has become both an operational capability and a high-value target.

AI is now a tool, target, and force multiplier for adversaries. As enterprises embed AI across their business, adversaries are exploiting AI infrastructure, compromising software supply chains, abusing enterprise LLMs, and following AI workloads into the cloud. The result is a new operational reality: attacks move faster, scale more efficiently, and increasingly target the AI systems enterprises depend on.

CrowdStrike Threat Hunting Report Highlights:

Based on frontline intelligence from CrowdStrike’s elite threat hunters and intelligence analysts tracking more than 290 named adversaries, the report reveals:

“AI is now embedded in modern adversary operations. It is changing how attacks are planned, executed, and scaled while expanding the attack surface organizations must defend,” said Adam Meyers, head of counter adversary operations at CrowdStrike. “The organizations that succeed will secure AI as aggressively as they adopt it and use AI to defend at the speed of the adversary.”
