Enterprises are facing challenges with more than 70% experiencing AI-related breaches in the past year, with generative models being the primary target. State-sponsored attacks on AI infrastructure have surged by 218% year-over-year, according to CrowdStrike’s 2025 Global Threat Report.
The cybersecurity industry is at a critical juncture, with CISOs and security leaders struggling to keep pace with the deployment of new AI models that exponentially increase attack surfaces. Traditional security tactics are proving insufficient in the face of evolving AI threats.
CrowdStrike has introduced a new solution by embedding Falcon Cloud Security directly within NVIDIA’s LLM NIM, securing over 100,000 enterprise-scale LLM deployments across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
George Kurtz, CEO of CrowdStrike, emphasized the importance of intrinsic security, stating that data and visibility are crucial for securing AI effectively. By leveraging threat intelligence and real-world adversary behavior, CrowdStrike aims to provide organizations with the tools to assess and secure their AI models proactively.
The integration of Falcon Cloud Security into NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure allows for runtime protection within the AI pipeline itself, addressing vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and unauthorized shadow AI. This approach enables organizations to detect and neutralize threats rapidly, ensuring the security of AI models throughout their lifecycle.
The risk of ‘Shadow AI’ poses a significant threat, as security teams often lack visibility into where models are running and how they are configured. Falcon Cloud Security aims to uncover hidden AI activity across environments, providing organizations with actionable insights to mitigate risks effectively.
CrowdStrike’s integration with NVIDIA offers CISOs and security leaders a comprehensive solution for securing generative AI and addressing specific threats such as prompt injection and model poisoning. By embedding security controls directly into the AI lifecycle, organizations can ensure zero-trust protection at scale, proactively mitigate vulnerabilities, and continuously monitor threats in real-time.
As generative AI becomes a foundational element of enterprise infrastructure, embedded security is imperative. CrowdStrike and NVIDIA’s integration not only enhances protection but also reshapes the way AI systems are built to withstand evolving threats effectively.
