CrowdStrike and Dell Technologies introduced an integrated security platform today. The new solution specifically protects the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA. Businesses can now deploy the CrowdStrike Falcon platform across their hardware. This setup safeguards enterprise infrastructure, runtime workloads, autonomous agents, and software applications.
Additionally, organizations acquire this technology through Dell’s AI Ecosystem Program. They receive optimized AI infrastructure along with native security protections. Furthermore, the architecture aligns with official NVIDIA AI reference blueprints. This combination creates a trustworthy environment for accelerated commercial deployment.
Protecting Modern AI Infrastructure and Autonomous Agents
Companies want to build and deploy artificial intelligence models rapidly. However, speed without protection exposes sensitive organizational systems to cyber adversaries.
“Every enterprise is racing to build AI, but AI without security is an opportunity for the adversary,” said George Kurtz, CEO and founder of CrowdStrike. “Security cannot be an afterthought in an AI-powered world. Dell and NVIDIA are powering the AI revolution, and CrowdStrike is securing it. Together, we’re making Falcon’s AI-native protection foundational to the AI Factory, giving enterprises the confidence to safely innovate at scale on validated, optimized architectures.”
“Enterprises are under real pressure to move fast on AI, but speed without security creates risk, not value,” said Michael Dell, chairman and CEO of Dell Technologies. “The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA gives customers a validated, optimized foundation, and with CrowdStrike’s AI-native security integrated from the start, they can move forward with confidence. That’s how you give organizations a clear, trusted path from AI ambition to AI outcomes.”
The collaboration combines hardware performance with AI-native threat detection. Therefore, modern organizations innovate safely at massive operational scale.
Key Security Capabilities for High-Performance Architectures
The integrated offering incorporates three specialized Falcon platform capabilities directly into the Dell AI Factory:
- Secure AI Agents and Applications: Falcon Guardian tracks software activities closely. It provides real-time protection against prompt injections and malicious behaviors. The tool builds directly on the NVIDIA OpenShell runtime architecture. Future updates will integrate NVIDIA Sentry and BlueField-4 DPUs.
- Protect Infrastructure and Workloads: Falcon Cloud Security offers continuous protection. The platform identifies severe misconfigurations across container and Kubernetes environments.
- Unify Security Operations: Falcon Next-Gen SIEM centralizes disparate telemetry sources. It uses intelligent automation to accelerate breach investigations.
“AI agents are transforming how every company works, and capability and security must advance together,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “CrowdStrike is bringing its cybersecurity platform to the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA and extending support to NVIDIA OpenShell. Together, we’re helping enterprises protect the infrastructure that runs AI and the agents that act on their behalf, giving them the confidence to put AI to work across their business.”
Finally, Dell Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services now manage these integrated CrowdStrike features. Dell MDR offers 24×7 continuous monitoring and rapid response across the entire technology stack. Consequently, security teams neutralize complex threats early and maintain continuous operational resiliency.
