Securing AI factories and private cloud AI environments requires a platform that can protect the entire attack surface. HPE has selected CrowdStrike for its Unleash AI partner program, integrating the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon platform to secure HPE Private Cloud AI. This collaboration, which also involves NVIDIA, aims to deliver unified endpoint, identity, cloud, and data protection for enterprises building and scaling trusted, high-performance AI infrastructure.
CrowdStrike joins the HPE Unleash AI partner program to secure HPE Private Cloud AI.
The CrowdStrike Falcon platform provides unified protection for AI workloads, infrastructure, and data.
HPE Private Cloud AI is co-developed with NVIDIA as part of the NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE portfolio.
The collaboration builds on CrowdStrike's existing partnership with NVIDIA for AI-driven cybersecurity.
It expands CrowdStrike's existing integrations with HPE Zerto (recovery) and HPE OpsRamp (observability).
Goal: Enable enterprises to operationalize AI securely and at scale with end-to-end protection.
The integration positions CrowdStrike as the "platform of record" for securing HPE's turnkey AI factory solution, HPE Private Cloud AI. This environment, built in collaboration with NVIDIA, is designed for enterprises to deploy and scale AI workloads. By embedding CrowdStrike's protection, the partnership aims to deliver a secure-by-design AI infrastructure, unifying visibility and control across endpoints, identities, cloud workloads, and data—critical for mitigating the expanded attack surface created by AI innovation.
Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike, emphasized CrowdStrike's role: "CrowdStrike pioneered modern cybersecurity and leads the industry in securing the AI era. HPE’s recognition underscores what customers tell us every day: CrowdStrike is the platform of record for protecting AI workloads, agents, infrastructure, and data. Together with HPE and NVIDIA, we’re uniting performance, scale, and security to help enterprises build trusted AI from the ground up."
This announcement deepens the existing relationships between all three companies. It builds upon CrowdStrike's partnership with NVIDIA to develop always-on AI agents for cybersecurity and extends CrowdStrike's integrations with other HPE software, including HPE Zerto for cyber recovery and HPE OpsRamp for observability. This creates a more cohesive security and operational resilience story across the HPE hybrid cloud and AI portfolio.
Robin Braun, vice president of AI business development for hybrid cloud at HPE, highlighted the program's goal: "Through the HPE Unleash AI partner program, we’re bringing together trusted innovators like CrowdStrike to help enterprises confidently operationalize AI. CrowdStrike’s AI-native platform and its proven integrations with HPE and NVIDIA exemplify how we’re enabling secure, high-performance AI for customers."
The collaboration is framed as a step to "redefine trusted AI." By combining HPE's scalable AI factory infrastructure, NVIDIA's accelerated computing, and CrowdStrike's AI-native security platform, the partnership aims to provide enterprises with a full-stack solution where security is not an afterthought but an integrated component. This is designed to empower organizations to innovate with AI at scale, knowing their models, data, and supporting infrastructure are protected by a unified, industry-leading security layer.
CrowdStrike's inclusion in the HPE Unleash AI program is a significant validation of its platform's relevance in the AI security domain. It reflects a market trend where AI infrastructure providers are proactively embedding best-of-breed security into their offerings to meet enterprise requirements. For customers, this integration promises to simplify the complex task of securing dynamic AI environments, potentially accelerating the safe adoption of private cloud AI and AI factory models.
