Every SOC leader knows the feeling: drowning in alerts, blind to the real threat, stuck playing defense in a war waged at the speed of AI. Now CrowdStrike and NVIDIA are flipping the script. Armed with autonomous agents powered by Charlotte AI and NVIDIA Nemotron models, security teams aren’t just reacting; they’re striking back at attackers before their next move. Welcome to cybersecurity’s new arms race. Combining open source’s many strengths with agentic AI will shift the balance of power against adversarial AI. CrowdStrike and NVIDIA’s agentic ecosystem combines Charlotte AI AgentWorks, NVIDIA Nemotron open models, NVIDIA NeMo Data Designer synthetic data, NVIDIA Nemo Agent Toolkit, and NVIDIA NIM microservices. “This collaboration redefines security operations by enabling analysts to build and deploy specialized AI agents at scale, leveraging trusted, enterprise-grade security with Nemotron models,” writes Bryan Catanzaro, vice president, Applied Deep Learning Research at NVIDIA. The partnership is designed to enable autonomous agents to learn quickly, reducing risks, threats, and false positives. Achieving that takes a heavy load off SOC leaders and their teams, who fight data fatigue nearly every day due to inaccurate data.The announcement at GTC Washington, D.C., signals the arrival of machine-speed defense that can finally match machine-speed attacks. Transforming elite analyst expertise into datasets at machine scaleThe partnership is differentiated by how the AI agents are designed to continually aggregate telemetry data, including insights from CrowdStrike Falcon Complete Managed Detection and Response analysts. “What we’re able to do is take the intelligence, take the data, take the experience of our Falcon Complete analysts, and turn these experts into datasets. Turn the datasets into AI models, and then be able to create agents based on, really, the whole composition and experience that we’ve built up within the company so that our customers can benefit at scale from these agents always,” said Daniel Bernard, CrowdStrike’s Chief Business Officer, during a recent briefing. Capitalizing on the strengths of the NVIDIA Nemotron open models, organizations will be able to have their autonomous agents continua …
