Armadin is expanding its AI-driven offensive testing strategy through separate partnerships with Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike, giving enterprises new ways to validate what an AI-equipped attacker could exploit across their environments. With Palo Alto Networks, Armadin is bringing autonomous external attack validation into Unit 42 Frontier AI Defense. With CrowdStrike, Armadin is adding continuous AI-driven offensive testing into the CrowdStrike ecosystem, focused on internal networks, identity systems, endpoints and infrastructure.The Palo Alto Networks partnership focuses on the external attack surface. Armadin’s External AI Hyperattack Assessment starts with passive discovery across internet-facing assets, cloud resources and exposed secrets. Its AI agents then run active reconnaissance and exploitation in parallel. When access is achieved, the platform simulates post-exploitation activity so security teams can see the likely impact of an attack path, instead of only receiving another list of vulnerabilities.The CrowdStrike partnership extends that idea into enterprise environments where identity, endpoint and infrastructure weaknesses can be chained together. Armadin will provide the offensive testing layer, while CrowdStrike and its partner ecosystem will help prioritize findings, support remediation and harden defenses. Armadin Red will be available through CrowdStrike’s Project QuiltWorks, as well as CrowdStrike’s field organization and global systems integrator ecosystem.Managed security services are moving closer to continuous validation, where exposure management, identity, endpoint and remediation workflows need to work together. That creates an opportunity for MSSPs to help customers move from long vulnerability lists to clearer action: what is exposed, what matters most and what needs to be fixed first.
