AUSTIN - CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) announced Tuesday that its Charlotte AI system has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High Authorization, enabling the company to offer its artificial intelligence security solution to federal, state, and local government agencies. The cybersecurity giant, currently valued at approximately $128 billion, has seen its stock price climb to $510.28, reflecting a year-to-date return of over 48%.
The authorization certifies that Charlotte AI meets the most stringent security and compliance standards required for mission-critical U.S. government operations, according to a press release statement from the company.
Charlotte AI, which is trained on security analysis data, will be available through CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform in GovCloud. The system is designed to automate security workflows that would typically require human analysts.
The first capabilities available to government customers include a Detection Triage Agent, which the company claims can analyze security alerts with over 98% accuracy, and Charlotte AI Actions in Falcon Fusion SOAR, which allows security teams to incorporate AI reasoning into their response playbooks.
"By bringing Charlotte AI to GovCloud, security teams can automate high-impact workflows with the expertise of the industry’s best SOC operators, stopping sophisticated threats at the speed of AI with precision and control," said Michael Sentonas, president of CrowdStrike, in the announcement.
The FedRAMP High Authorization is the most rigorous level of federal security certification, requiring systems to demonstrate strong data confidentiality, integrity, and availability protections.
CrowdStrike’s Charlotte AI is part of the company’s broader Falcon platform, which uses cloud-native architecture and a single lightweight agent to deliver security services.
