CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz said on CNBC that artificial intelligence is accelerating cyberattacks faster than older security systems can respond, leaving even well-funded companies exposed. His comments came a day after CrowdStrike's strong earnings sent shares up more than 20% to a record close near $228. Kurtz cited incidents like Anthropic's Mythos model and an OpenAI agent that breached Hugging Face's systems as evidence of AI's growing offensive capabilities.
