VAST Data and CrowdStrike collaborate to secure the AI lifecycle

VAST Data and CrowdStrike are partnering to combine VAST’s native data-layer governance and platform-level controls with CrowdStrike’s enterprise-grade threat detection and automated response.

The goal is to enable coordinated protection for enterprise environments across the AI lifecycle. This includes data ingestion and model training through to runtime operation and inference.

The companies said their partnership helps secure the AI lifecycle – from development through production – by integrating continuous detection, workflow scanning and response into the environments where AI systems are built, trained and operated.

This new partnership between VAST and CrowdStrike extends to covering the companies’ collaboration with NVIDIA, further aiming to protect AI pipelines end-to-end.

“VAST was built to be the operating system for AI, with security and governance designed into the platform,” said Renen Hallak, founder and CEO of VAST Data.

“This partnership with CrowdStrike extends continuous threat detection and coordinated response into AI workflows and runtime environments – helping customers operate enterprise AI with greater confidence as they scale.”

“AI is becoming the operating system of the modern enterprise,” said George Kurtz, CEO and founder of CrowdStrike.

“VAST operates at the data layer where AI comes to life, and CrowdStrike secures where enterprise value is created. Together, we’re securing AI at its foundation.”
