CrowdStrike says Dreadnode tests models, applications and agents before production, including against prompt injection and attempts to bypass safeguards. Findings are intended to feed Falcon Guardian security recommendations.

The company expects closing and general availability of the features in the fourth quarter of its fiscal 2027, subject to customary conditions. It has not disclosed the price. Testing capabilities and integration timing are the vendor’s announcements; effectiveness after integration has not yet been established.
