At Fal. Con Europe 2026, CrowdStrike and Dell Technologies unveiled a new, integrated cybersecurity solution purpose-built for the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA. The new integrated security solution integrates the CrowdStrike Falcon platform with Dell’s enterprise AI hardware, professional services and NVIDIA accelerated computing, to provide a comprehensive end-to-end solution that defends the entire AI infrastructure including the underlying computational workloads, autonomous agents, and production environments.
Distributed by Dell Technologies’ AI Ecosystem Program, this co-designed architecture follows the NVIDIA AI Factory Reference Architecture guidelines and provides customers with a proven, resilient, operating basis with which to help accelerate AI deployment without sacrificing security governance.
“Every enterprise is racing to build AI, but AI without security is an opportunity for the adversary,” said George Kurtz, CEO and founder of CrowdStrike. “Security cannot be an afterthought in an AI-powered world. Dell and NVIDIA are powering the AI revolution, and CrowdStrike is securing it. Together, we’re making Falcon’s AI-native protection foundational to the AI Factory, giving enterprises the confidence to safely innovate at scale on validated, optimized architectures.”

“Enterprises are under real pressure to move fast on AI, but speed without security creates risk, not value,” said Michael Dell, chairman and CEO of Dell Technologies. “The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA gives customers a validated, optimized foundation, and with CrowdStrike’s AI-native security integrated from the start, they can move forward with confidence. That’s how you give organizations a clear, trusted path from AI ambition to AI outcomes.”
“AI agents are transforming how every company works, and capability and security must advance together,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “CrowdStrike is bringing its cybersecurity platform to the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA and extending support to NVIDIA OpenShell. Together, we’re helping enterprises protect the infrastructure that runs AI and the agents that act on their behalf, giving them the confidence to put AI to work across their business.”
Security Features for all AI Layers
The integration brings the Dell AI Factory and Dell Platform for Enterprise to NVIDIA’s Falcon platform, which comprise:
- AI agent as a runtime barrier against prompt injection, unbounded agent behaviors, and unintended data leakage. Based on the NVIDIA Open Shell Reference Architecture, it is built on the NVIDIA Open Shell secure runtime today, with planned integrations on NVIDIA Sentry and NVIDIA Blue Field-4 DPU silicon-to-software security domains.
- Falcon Cloud Security protects your environments throughout the lifecycle – from build pipelines to runtime. It performs ongoing configuration auditing to identify drift, detects vulnerabilities and live threats, and enables your teams to lock down containers and Kubernetes.
- Falcon Next-Gen SIEM correlates native CrowdStrike telemetry with outside third-party data sources using AI-driven behavior analytics to cut down detection times and destroy breach attempts before damage can be done.
For full 24/7 protection, Dell Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Services has also extended to proactively take charge of the capabilities of CrowdStrike. Constant 24/7 surveillance, investigation and assisting remediation in the entire AI pipeline allows Dell MDR to help organizations identify early signs of compromise, limit the ability of adversaries to move laterally, and preserve mission essential AI.
