VAST Data, CrowdStrike, Nvidia AI Security Partnership

VAST Data and CrowdStrike announced a strategic partnership at VAST Forward 2026 to enhance security across the AI lifecycle. This collaboration integrates VAST's native data-layer governance with CrowdStrike's enterprise-grade threat detection and automated response, connecting their respective AI Operating System and Falcon cybersecurity platform. The partnership aims to provide coordinated protection for enterprise AI environments, from data ingestion and model training to runtime operation and inference. It also extends to a joint effort with Nvidia, combining Nvidia's AI infrastructure, CrowdStrike's AI-driven threat detection, and VAST's real-time data-layer enforcement to secure AI pipelines end-to-end. This initiative addresses the evolving risks as enterprises move from AI experimentation to production, ensuring secure, production-ready AI at the data layer, embedded protection in AI workflows, and coordinated detection and response across platforms.
