# CrowdStrike launches AI kill switch to shut down rogue agents

With a notable rise in autonomous AI agents veering off-script inside corporate networks, CrowdStrike has launched an enterprise AI Kill Switch, giving security teams control to cut off and disable models when they go rogue . Integrated into its Falcon Guardian platform, this AI Kill Switch will provide security teams with the human control to terminate the agent at its root, where it runs, block it from launching again, and even cut off its enterprise network access. The launch comes as enterprises increasingly deploy autonomous AI agents that can access sensitive data and execute tasks with limited human oversight. “These agents can access sensitive data, execute commands and interact with business applications independently, meaning enterprises may become aware of harmful incidents only after they occur. Existing security tools protect endpoints, networks and identities but may not fully understand an agent’s instructions, reasoning, tool calls and subsequent actions,” said Soumen M
