CrowdStrike puts the stop button for a rogue agent in a named person's hands

CrowdStrike added an AI Kill Switch to Falcon Guardian that lets an authorized administrator halt a misbehaving agent, block it from relaunching and cut its network access, with every action logged under a human-in-control banner. On Monday, for one workflow where an agent acts, name the person who can stop it, write down when they should, and test that the stop works before you need it.
