What happened
Announced Aug 31, 2026, a new specialization track within CrowdStrike's Accelerate Partner Program letting partners build/resell/manage AI agents via Charlotte AI AgentWorks and Falcon Foundry, with a new pre-marketplace 'Verified Agent' certification.
Why it matters
Establishes an ecosystem assurance/certification gate for third-party agents before marketplace distribution — a governance signal buyers can use, though it is not itself a runtime control.
Applicability
Channel partners and enterprises procuring third-party agents through the CrowdStrike Marketplace.
