CoreWeave, CrowdStrike Team Up to Secure AI
The global partnership extends security across AI training, inference, and production, with CoreWeave's Partner Network launching September 30, 2026.
Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Artificial Intelligence
CoreWeave, an AI cloud provider built on NVIDIA GPUs, announced a global partnership with CrowdStrike, the operator of the Falcon security platform, to secure AI workloads. The partnership was unveiled at Fal.Con Europe 2025 on November 5, 2025, and covers security across AI model training, inference, and production.
Why it matters
Companies are deploying AI systems faster than they can protect them, and this partnership ties AI infrastructure directly to a security platform rather than treating protection as an add-on. The arrangement reflects a broader push to build security into the AI stack itself, as CoreWeave has run CrowdStrike's Falcon products since at least 2023.
CoreWeave reports a 100-fold reduction in false positives after adopting CrowdStrike's tools, along with hundreds of hours saved each year and zero breaches while on the Falcon platform. These are company-reported figures; the baseline comparisons and measurement methods were not disclosed.
The players
CoreWeave
An AI cloud provider built on NVIDIA GPUs that supplies infrastructure for training and running AI models.
CrowdStrike
A cybersecurity company operating the Falcon security platform, which is extending its SafeMind security models to AI infrastructure.
The details
CoreWeave runs AI workloads on NVIDIA GPUs, the chips that perform the heavy parallel math behind model training and inference. CrowdStrike's Falcon platform monitors systems for threats, and a false positive is an alert that flags harmless activity as malicious. The partnership extends CoreWeave's infrastructure to support CrowdStrike's SafeMind security models, which are designed to protect AI systems across their training, inference, and production stages.
Timeline
2023: CoreWeave began running CrowdStrike's Falcon products.
November 5, 2025: The partnership was unveiled at Fal.Con Europe 2025.
August 31, 2026: CoreWeave joined CrowdStrike's AI Partner Specialization.
September 30, 2026: Scheduled launch of CoreWeave's Partner Network.
The Tech Race
The partnership places CoreWeave and CrowdStrike at the intersection of AI infrastructure and security, where AI cloud providers are competing to offer protection alongside compute. It builds on CoreWeave's earlier Falcon adoption and CrowdStrike's AI Partner Specialization, positioning security tooling as a core layer of the AI cloud stack.
Organizations running AI models on CoreWeave's cloud may see security coverage extended to training, inference, and production through CrowdStrike's tools, though availability terms and pricing were not disclosed. The partnership's practical reach will become clearer as the Partner Network launches.
The takeaway
The partnership signals that AI security is moving from a bolt-on concern to a built-in layer of the infrastructure stack. Watch the September 30, 2026 launch of CoreWeave's Partner Network for details on how the SafeMind integration reaches customers.
What happens next
CoreWeave's Partner Network is scheduled to launch on September 30, 2026, which will show how the partnership is rolled out to customers.
