CrowdStrike announced a new partnership with NVIDIA to strengthen security measures for AI innovation, specifically targeting NVIDIA NIM agent blueprints. This collaboration will enable developers to securely use open source models, accelerating the creation of enterprise-grade generative AI applications such as chatbots and drug discovery tools.
Leveraging NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprints, which are reference applications using NVIDIA NIM microservices, and the NVIDIA NeMo platform, part of the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software stack, the partnership aims to help enterprises securely develop custom generative AI applications. This initiative will leverage the latest open source foundational models available with NVIDIA NIM.
Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer at CrowdStrike, said of the collaboration: “CrowdStrike is the pioneer of AI-native cybersecurity and is at the epicenter of securing the AI systems that are driving the generative AI revolution. We continue to innovate alongside NVIDIA, providing enterprises with the critical tools they need to accelerate the development, utility, and security of generative AI.”
Justin Boitano, vice president of enterprise AI software products at NVIDIA, emphasized the importance of security in AI development. “Security is fundamental to building enterprise-grade generative AI applications. With NVIDIA NIM agent blueprints supported on CrowdStrike, enterprises can build applications for core generative AI use cases that align with enterprise security requirements,” he said.
This transaction marks an important milestone for both companies in their efforts to support the growing field of generative AI. CrowdStrike’s Falcon cybersecurity platform, which is AI-native, will play a critical role in ensuring the security of innovative applications built using NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprints.
This development is part of the current trend in the technology industry, where the convergence of AI and cybersecurity is becoming increasingly crucial. As enterprises look for safer and more efficient ways to deploy AI models, the collaboration between CrowdStrike and NVIDIA aims to fill this gap.
NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprints are designed to provide a framework for enterprises to easily develop and deploy generative AI models. By integrating with CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform, the goal is to provide a robust layer of security that ensures these models and the data they process are protected from potential threats.
Both companies are primarily focused on AI, with CrowdStrike known for its AI-native cybersecurity solutions and NVIDIA for its advanced compute and AI platforms. This partnership seems like a no-brainer, aimed at addressing one of the biggest challenges in AI development today: security.
The collaboration is expected to appeal to a wide range of industries, from healthcare to customer service, where demand for safe and effective AI models continues to grow. The focus on generative AI, which can create new content such as text and images from existing data, is particularly relevant given its growing application in a variety of business contexts.
