The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence demands a secure and high-performance infrastructure where AI can be built, trained, and deployed without compromise. To address this critical need, CrowdStrike, a global cybersecurity leader, and CoreWeave, The Essential Cloud for AI™, have announced a major global partnership. This collaboration is designed to power the secure AI cloud foundation for the agentic era, combining CoreWeave's high-performance AI cloud with the industry-leading protection of the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform. The partnership aims to secure the complex computing workloads that drive modern AI innovation, empowering pioneers to build and deploy AI with confidence on infrastructure that is secure by design.
CrowdStrike and CoreWeave formed a global strategic partnership.
The alliance combines high-performance AI cloud with top-tier cybersecurity.
It aims to secure AI workloads where intelligence is built and trained.
The partnership extends CrowdStrike's collaboration with NVIDIA.
It is positioned as the foundation for the secure "agentic era."
The goal is to accelerate the secure development of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence).
The partnership directly addresses the security risks inherent in the development of advanced AI. CoreWeave's cloud infrastructure powers some of the world's most advanced AI workloads, and CrowdStrike's role is to ensure these critical environments are protected. By integrating the Falcon platform, the collaboration secures the very systems where intelligence is created and refined, making security an inherent property of the AI development lifecycle rather than a later addition.
This alliance expands CrowdStrike's secure AI ecosystem, bringing together three key pillars: CrowdStrike's cybersecurity expertise, CoreWeave's purpose-built AI cloud, and the underlying NVIDIA AI infrastructure. This powerful combination is designed to deliver the speed, intelligence, and resilience required for the next phase of AI, often referred to as the "agentic era," where autonomous AI agents will perform increasingly complex tasks.
The core value proposition for customers is the ability to innovate faster without sacrificing security. George Kurtz, CEO and founder of CrowdStrike, stated, “CoreWeave powers some of the most advanced AI workloads on the planet, and CrowdStrike secures where AI happens. Together, we’re building a foundation for the agentic era, where security is inherent to AI itself.” This gives AI labs, startups, and enterprises the confidence to push the boundaries of innovation on a protected foundation.
The partnership between CrowdStrike and CoreWeave represents a significant milestone in the maturation of the AI industry. By uniting best-in-class infrastructure with best-in-class security, the two companies are creating a trusted foundation that is essential for the responsible and accelerated development of powerful AI technologies, paving the way for a future where advanced AI can be deployed securely at scale.
CrowdStrike, a global cybersecurity leader, has redefined modern security with the world’s most advanced cloud-native platform for protecting critical areas of enterprise risk – endpoints and cloud workloads, identity and data.
Powered by the CrowdStrike Security Cloud and world-class AI, the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform leverages real-time indicators of attack, threat intelligence, evolving adversary tradecraft and enriched telemetry from across the enterprise to deliver hyper-accurate detections, automated protection and remediation, elite threat hunting and prioritized observability of vulnerabilities.
Purpose-built in the cloud with a single lightweight-agent architecture, the Falcon platform delivers rapid and scalable deployment, superior protection and performance, reduced complexity and immediate time-to-value.
