CrowdStrike Expands AWS Collaboration for AI Security
CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) has announced an expanded collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to drive secure AI adoption in cybersecurity. The company revealed new offerings now available in the AWS Marketplace, including falcon-mcp , a managed control plane server for the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, and CrowdStrike AI Red Team Services .
These tools are part of the new AI Agents and Tools category, designed to help customers operationalize agentic AI workflows and secure generative AI (GenAI) systems directly within their AWS environments.
CrowdStrike reported that although AI adoption is growing, enterprises often lack secure, scalable frameworks to connect models with real-time security operations. Without proper validation, agentic AI poses new risks.
Now available in preview via Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, falcon-mcp enables seamless integration of AI agents and LLM-based applications with Falcon telemetry. This includes access to detections, incidents, threat intelligence, and behavioral data—helping to streamline secure AI deployments.
CrowdStrike AI Red Team Services offer in-depth assessments of AI systems, including LLM integrations. These evaluations identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that may expose systems to breaches or unauthorized actions. The services align with security standards such as the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs.
According to Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer at CrowdStrike, agentic AI is transforming industries, but secure integration is essential for long-term scalability.
Jay McBain, Chief Analyst at Canalys, noted that the risks of LLMs are becoming more tangible. He stated that CrowdStrike's AWS partnership raises the bar for secure AI operationalization.
Key highlights include: falcon-mcp provides open, secure AI-to-Falcon integration

This supports Dewa's global leadership, ranking first worldwide in 12 key performance indicators in its areas of work. In 2024, Dewa recorded the world's lowest electricity transmission and distribution network losses at 2%, compared to 6% to 7% in Europe and the USA. Water transmission and distribution losses were also the lowest globally, at 4.5%. Additionally, Dewa set a world record for the lowest customer minutes lost (CML), achieving 0.94 minutes per year, compared to an average of 15 minutes in the European Union. Fakher Bader affirmed Shell's commitment to supporting the UAE's clean energy transition. Separately, Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer received recently the certificate for the Energy Infrastructure Award, which Dewa won at the prestigious 2024 S&P Global Platts Energy Awards for the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. Outperforming 1,000 leading companies that applied for this global honour, Dewa is the first utility in the Middle East and North Africa to receive this award. The Platts Global Energy Awards, presented by S&P Global Commodity Insights, are a prestigious annual event recognising excellence in the energy industry. Often called the 'Oscars of the energy industry,' they acknowledge individuals and corporations for their achievements in innovation, leadership, and contributions to shaping the future of the energy sector. The awards cover various categories, including sustainability, innovation, energy infrastructure, and technology, and have been presented since 1999, drawing participation from leading global energy companies and innovators. Al Tayer said, 'Guided by the vision of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Biin Zayed Al Nahyan and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, excellence has become a genuine and continuous approach in the UAE. Based on this proactive vision, and in line with the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050 to provide 100% of energy production capacity from clean sources by 2050, we look forward to broader horizons of leadership and innovation. We continue to strengthen our preparedness for the future and advance the sustainability of our robust, integrated infrastructure – ensuring it can meet the ambitions of both current and future generations while keeping pace with Dubai's flourishing urban and demographic growth.

China proposes global AI co-operation organisation
China proposed a new global artificial intelligence co-operation organisation amid a patchwork of regulations among countries, as Beijing's competition with the US over the critical technology heats up. Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Saturday called for an international framework to regulate AI as its governance is fragmented, he said at the opening of the annual World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. 'Global AI governance is still fragmented. Countries have great differences, particularly in terms of areas such as regulatory concepts, institutional rules,' Mr Li said. 'We should strengthen co-ordination to form a global AI governance framework that has broad consensus as soon as possible.' China's proposal comes just days after US President Donald Trump unveiled a three-pillar strategy that his administration refers to as America's AI Action Plan, after much anticipation from US technology companies. Accelerating artificial intelligence innovation, building AI infrastructure in the US and leading in AI diplomacy are the strategy's three main planks. The plan to export US AI technologies, for example through international data centre initiatives, may help the US to gain influence as other countries seek to join the race to provide computational power for AI. Hypothetically, it could also give the US a competitive edge over China, which also aims to be a dominant AI player. Beijing and Washington are locked in a rivalry with AI shaping up as a key battleground between the world's two biggest economies. An 'exclusive game' During the three-day World Artificial Intelligence Conference on Saturday, Mr Li said that AI could become an 'exclusive game' for a few nations and companies. 'Currently, key resources and capabilities are concentrated in a few countries and a few enterprises. If we engage in technological monopoly, controls and restrictions, AI will become an exclusive game for a small number of countries and enterprises,' Mr Li said. Going forward, China will seek to propel AI development in the Global South, Mr Li said, according to a Bloomberg report. China said it is considering Shanghai as the headquarters of the proposed global AI co-operation centre. Ma Zhaoxu, China's Vice Foreign Minister, told a gathering of representatives from more than 30 countries, including Russia, South Africa, Qatar, South Korea and Germany, that China wanted the organisation to promote pragmatic co-operation in AI and was considering putting its headquarters in Shanghai, Reuters reported. China's AI and semi-conductor sectors are showing strong growth, despite US export controls, according to a June report by Jefferies, an investment banking and capital market firm based in New York. Huawei debuts AI computing system At the same conference on Saturday, China's Huawei Technologies showed off an AI computing system, as the technology giant aims to capture market share in the country's growing AI sector. The CloudMatrix 384 system made its first public debut at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference. Semiconductor research group SemiAnalysis in April called it "China's Answer to Nvidia GB200 NVL72", the US chipmaker's most advanced system-level product currently available in the market. "This solution competes directly with the GB200 NVL72, and in some metrics is more advanced than Nvidia's rack scale solution. The engineering advantage is at the system level, not just at the chip level, with innovation at the networking, optics, and software layers," SemiAnalysis said in its April report.
