NVIDIA and CrowdStrike unveil SafeMind agentic cyber defense on Nemotron

NVIDIA’s blog says Jensen Huang and CrowdStrike’s George Kurtz announced SafeMind at Fal.Con — cybersecurity software that can take a sequence of actions, built with Nemotron open models, plus Falcon IQ — with company claims and CrowdStrike’s internal test numbers staying theirs.

NVIDIA and CrowdStrike say they built an AI that can hunt and block hackers, not just describe an attack. The accuracy and cost numbers are CrowdStrike’s own tests, not an independent score.

NVIDIA Blog “NVIDIA and CrowdStrike Strengthen Agentic Cybersecurity Frontier” (Brian Caulfield) covers Fal.Con 2026 in Las Vegas. Jensen Huang and CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz announce CrowdStrike SafeMind, developed by the CrowdStrike Cyber Superintelligence Lab. That NVIDIA blog is the filing event.

SafeMind, on NVIDIA’s account, is defensive models built on NVIDIA Nemotron open models — NVIDIA’s publicly available AI models — post-trained with CrowdStrike’s cyber experience and threat data, paired with CrowdStrike’s proprietary cybersecurity harnesses as an agentic stack. Agentic here means software that can take a sequence of actions, not just answer a question. The result ships natively in the CrowdStrike Falcon platform. NVIDIA says Nemotron 3 Ultra orchestrates the defensive agent harness; a fine-tuned Nemotron 3 Super powers a rule-generation sub-agent.

CrowdStrike internal evaluations, as reported by NVIDIA: the Blue Solano model based on Nemotron 3 Super delivered higher accuracy than leading frontier models at 99% lower cost — one hundredth the cost, on CrowdStrike’s math. That is CrowdStrike’s eval claim — not an independent benchmark, and not a desk-measured accuracy number.

NVIDIA describes testing SafeMind in a high-fidelity cyber agent environment simulating NVIDIA’s network: red-team agents (Recon, Assault, Compromise) versus blue-team defenders in a continuous coevolution loop. Red team means the attackers. Blue team means the defenders. CrowdStrike built a digital twin — a software copy — of NVIDIA’s accelerated computing infrastructure for the test, NVIDIA says.

Also announced on the same post: CrowdStrike Falcon IQ, to operationalize Project QuiltWorks via agentic workload automation — more than 50 agents, per NVIDIA’s writeup — inside Charlotte AI AgentWorks; plus an expanded CrowdStrike Guardian AI safety solution. NVIDIA says Nemotron helps power the agentic engine for Falcon IQ.

Figures on the post attributed to CrowdStrike include AI-enabled attacks up 89% in the past year, and the fastest eCrime breakout time at 27 seconds — how quickly an intruder moves from first foothold to the next machine. Those are CrowdStrike’s figures — not NVIDIA’s measurement.

NVIDIA’s phrasing on CrowdStrike’s installed base is thousands of customer organizations generating trillions of daily security events. This filing does not invent GA pricing — general-availability list prices — a customer-count beyond that phrasing, or independent accuracy numbers.
