Mike Sentonas, Crowdstrike | Crowdstrike Fal.Con 2025

In this exclusive interview from Fal.Con 2025, theCUBE’s Rebecca Knight and Dave Vellante sit down with CrowdStrike president Mike Sentonas to unpack how AI is rewriting the rules of cybersecurity. Sentonas explains how adversaries are collapsing attack timelines from months to minutes with generative AI and why defenders must embrace a mindset shift toward automation and agentic SOC models. He highlights how the enterprise graph unifies threat, asset and identity data into a single framework, creating what he calls a “security system of intelligence” that boosts efficacy and saves time for overburdened teams.

The discussion also covers major announcements, including CrowdStrike’s acquisitions of Onum and Pangea, new IT risk-based patching, and the role of Charlotte, its AI-powered orchestrator, in simplifying the SOC analyst’s day-to-day. Sentonas makes clear that the future of defense is about speed, integration and democratizing advanced capabilities across organizations of every size.
