Understanding the Nation’s Adversaries

The nation’s adversaries are actively targeting U.S. government and public institutions, using AI to scale campaigns and move faster across environments. Understanding how adversaries operate is essential to stopping them.

 

Get an inside look at the real-world adversary activity CrowdStrike tracks every day, including the tactics, techniques, and campaigns targeting U.S. public-sector environments, and learn how to identify, disrupt, and stop these threats.

Mobilizing the Cybersecurity Workforce

AI is the force multiplier reshaping cyber defense. CrowdStrike puts that force to work for government.

 

In the AI era, cybersecurity is national security. Adversaries are already using AI to scale attacks, automate tradecraft, and overwhelm human teams. Government defenders must do the same: leverage AI to detect faster, decide smarter, and respond at machine speed.

 

Fal.Con Gov 2026 is where leaders apply AI as a force multiplier across security operations, enabling lean teams to protect mission-critical systems at national scale.

Securing the AI Era at National Scale

Federal-grade security requires execution, not fragmentation.


CrowdStrike protects U.S. federal agencies and public institutions nationwide, with 43 states relying on the Falcon platform to cut complexity, reduce noise, and operate at the speed AI-driven threats demand. By unifying endpoint, identity, cloud, and next-generation SIEM, agencies gain the control needed to secure modern environments without slowing operations.

 

Fal.Con Gov 2026 shows how this platform approach enables government teams to scale security and act with confidence.
