George Kurtz, CEO of cybersecurity company CrowdStrike , spoke with CNBC's Jim Cramer on Wednesday about the company's focus on automation and the use of generative artificial intelligence to launch Charlotte AI, a "virtual security analyst."
"Generative AI is a new type of artificial intelligence, and essentially Charlotte AI is our, is our virtual security analyst," Kurtz said.
Kurtz explained that Charlotte AI can help automate the duties of a security operations center (SOC) analyst, or someone who deals with cybersecurity duties on a day-to-day basis.
The program is intended to lessen mundane work that analysts perform, turning tasks that may have taken hours into ones that take only minutes, he said.
According to Kurtz, analysts can have conversations with Charlotte AI and ask questions about security threats in the environment, how it applies to their industry, what assets are at risk, how to fix those assets — and even create a report about the situation.
