CrowdStrike expands Nvidia AI security with new tie-ups

CrowdStrike has signed two ecosystem collaborations tied to Nvidia-based AI infrastructure, linking its Falcon security platform with World Wide Technology's AI Proving Ground and with Nebius' AI cloud service.

The deals extend CrowdStrike's push into securing AI deployments as companies scale GPU-heavy environments and rely more on managed infrastructure. The announcements follow a series of partnerships highlighted around Nvidia's GTC event.

WWT AI lab

World Wide Technology (WWT), a US-based technology solutions provider, has launched the "Securing AI with CrowdStrike Lab" inside its AI Proving Ground. The lab sits within WWT's Advanced Technology Centre and uses Nvidia AI factories and the Nvidia Enterprise AI Factory validated design.

The lab offers a test environment where customers can run AI systems with security controls in place before production rollouts. WWT said it is intended to give enterprises a validated route for testing, validation, and deployment.

Large organisations are building AI factories and accelerated computing environments for business-critical workloads, expanding the risks security teams must manage across infrastructure, cloud services, and runtime operations.

The partners highlighted issues such as misconfigurations, data exposure, and prompt injection, arguing that controls need to be embedded into AI stacks rather than added after deployment.

In the WWT environment, customers can integrate Falcon into AI systems built on Nvidia's reference architecture. CrowdStrike said Falcon provides protection across multiple layers of enterprise AI environments, and that the lab lets teams assess risk and validate controls in a contained setting.

WWT is also bringing its AI Readiness Model for Operational Resilience, known as ARMOR, into the offering. It positioned the combination as a way to move from GPU investment to production operations with clearer governance and visibility.

"AI is foundational to how modern enterprises operate and innovate, and security must evolve with it," said Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer, CrowdStrike. "Together with WWT and NVIDIA, we're enabling organisations to test the CrowdStrike Falcon platform directly within AI factory environments. This helps organisations move from experimentation to production-grade AI, with protection embedded across infrastructure, cloud, and runtime from day one."

WWT described the lab as a practical proving environment for customers evaluating AI programmes. "Enterprises need more than theoretical AI. They need a place to prove it works before investing," said Chris Konrad, Vice President, Global Cyber, WWT. "By integrating NVIDIA AI Enterprise infrastructure with the CrowdStrike Falcon platform inside our Advanced Technology Centre, we're giving customers a secure, validated path to evaluate and support AI at scale."

MGM Resorts International is listed as an enterprise user that sees value in this type of testing. "AI is increasingly embedded in mission-critical systems, and security can't be bolted on after deployment," said Bryan Green, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer, MGM Resorts International. "As enterprises move from pilots to production, we need validated environments that embed protection from the start. World Wide Technology's AI Proving Ground, secured by the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, helps organisations apply the rigor, visibility, and control required to scale AI with confidence."

Nebius integration

In a separate announcement, CrowdStrike said it has partnered with Nebius to integrate Falcon into Nebius AI Cloud. Nebius is positioning its service as a full-stack AI cloud built around Nvidia infrastructure and networking.

The companies said the integration extends security operations into AI workloads running on Nebius without requiring customers to redesign existing security approaches. CrowdStrike said it provides unified visibility, detection, and response across infrastructure and runtime environments.

Nebius said its platform is designed for distributed AI workloads, combining dedicated Nvidia AI infrastructure, Nvidia networking, and an integrated software stack for training and inference at scale. It also highlighted tenant isolation, encryption, and access controls as built-in elements of its service.

For joint customers, the integration is pitched as a way to apply existing security policies and response workflows to AI workloads hosted in Nebius AI Cloud. It also reflects a broader trend of security vendors placing tooling closer to GPU infrastructure, where AI development and deployment increasingly takes place.

"Nebius is building a new class of AI cloud platform for AI innovation," said Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer, CrowdStrike. "The more AI organisations adopt, the more security they need. CrowdStrike is the cybersecurity foundation for the AI era, securing AI wherever it runs. Together, we're helping ensure organisations can extend unified security operations to the next generation of AI cloud infrastructure from day one."

Nebius said customers have been asking for AI infrastructure that aligns with existing operational processes. "AI companies don't just need more GPUs - they need infrastructure that performs predictably at scale and fits into how their organisations already operate," said Mark Boroditsky, Chief Revenue Officer, Nebius. "Working with CrowdStrike means customers can run AI workloads on our full-stack AI cloud platform without disrupting the security controls and processes they already rely on."

Both announcements highlight how Nvidia's reference architectures and "AI factory" language are shaping enterprise rollouts, while security vendors compete for standard placement across infrastructure layers. CrowdStrike said it expects broader adoption of Falcon in Nvidia-based AI environments as organisations move from pilots to production operations.
