CrowdStrike's latest role within the Unleash AI programme

CrowdStrike has joined the HPE Unleash AI Partner Programme to provide enhanced security for AI operations on HPE Private Cloud AI. The partnership aims to deliver integrated, high-performance protection for enterprise AI workloads and infrastructure, including data and machine learning agents.

Expanded partnership

The collaboration sees CrowdStrike's Falcon platform incorporated into HPE's Private Cloud AI solutions. These are co-developed with Nvidia and form part of the Nvidia AI Computing by HPE portfolio. CrowdStrike's security capabilities will now help safeguard AI workloads running across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, extending current arrangements between the two companies.

CrowdStrike's technology portfolio covers endpoint, cloud, identity, and data protection. By aligning these features with HPE's private AI platforms, customers will benefit from unified security controls when deploying and managing AI models, including large language models powered by Nvidia hardware.

Operational security

The work also builds on CrowdStrike's existing integrations with HPE Zerto Software and HPE OpsRamp Software. This expands the platform's reach to include cyber recovery and observability capabilities, supporting security requirements that span data resilience and management across both hybrid and multi-cloud setups.

Security leaders face challenges as enterprises accelerate adoption of AI infrastructure. The move is designed to increase protection for projects that demand both high performance and advanced security assurances, aiming to reduce risk as organisations scale their use of AI technology.

Industry partnerships

The partnership leverages previous collaboration between CrowdStrike and NVIDIA, supporting always-on AI agents within cybersecurity operations. This alliance intends to help customers operationalise AI securely, complying with demands for scalable and resilient infrastructure capable of supporting rapid AI innovation.

"Through the HPE Unleash AI partner program, we're bringing together trusted innovators like CrowdStrike to help enterprises confidently operationalize AI," said Robin Braun, Vice President, AI Business Development for Hybrid Cloud, HPE. "CrowdStrike's AI-native platform and its proven integrations with HPE and NVIDIA exemplify how we're enabling secure, high-performance AI for customers."

Enterprise focus

CrowdStrike's latest role within the Unleash AI programme cements its position as a preferred security provider for AI-driven business transformations. The collaboration targets the needs of organisations looking to build and deploy secure, high-performance AI 'factories'-environments designed for developing and scaling artificial intelligence applications across industries.

The three-way partnership between CrowdStrike, HPE and NVIDIA is expected to play a central role in delivering comprehensive protection, unified monitoring, and compatibility with high-throughput, enterprise-grade computing solutions.
