The event, scheduled for August 30 through September 1, 2026, will feature researchers from Amazon, Cisco, Microsoft, and other technology companies discussing topics including AI weaponization and evolving adversary tradecraft. Jet App Launches For Partners CrowdStrike also recently launched Jet, a mobile app designed to help partners manage deal origination, deal closure, rewards, and enablement through a single platform.
