VAST AI OS with CrowdStrike

Secure AI at the Foundation, From Data to Runtime

From AI cloud providers to enterprises and foundation model builders, the world's leading AI organizations run on VAST Data. Now, with CrowdStrike's enterprise-grade protection integrated across the VAST AI Operating System, every stage of the AI lifecycle, from data ingestion and model training to runtime and inference, is protected at the data layer.

Together, VAST and CrowdStrike establish a unified security model for enterprise AI, combining VAST AI OS’ native governance and platform controls with the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform’s threat detection and automated response.

Designed for Security

The security boundary for AI can’t stop at the infrastructure. Enterprises need to understand who is accessing their data, how that data is moving through AI pipelines and what is happening when applications and models interact with it. Together with CrowdStrike, we’re bringing security across each of those layers. By combining the VAST AI Operating System with the intelligence of the Falcon platform, customers can build AI environments where security is part of the architecture from the foundation through the AI pipeline.

AI Story

The AI Data Platform Built to Secure What Matters Most

As enterprises move from AI experimentation to full production, the attack surface grows. AI systems rely on continuous data ingestion, dynamic workflows, and distributed runtime environments, creating new vectors for malware, model poisoning, and unauthorized access.

VAST Data and CrowdStrike deliver first-of-its-kind cybersecurity directly across the VAST AI Operating System. By combining the intelligence of the CrowdStrike Falcon platform with VAST's native data-layer governance, organizations can secure the full AI lifecycle, from the infrastructure foundation through the active data pipelines, without sacrificing performance or scale

From hyperscale AI cloud providers to global enterprises, VAST is the only AI data platform capable of delivering real-time AI-driven intelligence at scale—now secured end-to-end with CrowdStrike.

For Enterprise AI

Protect AI Workflows at the Data Layer

Enterprise AI is only as secure as the data it runs on. Legacy security tools weren't designed for the dynamic, distributed environments that modern AI requires. VAST and CrowdStrike close that gap, embedding security directly into AI workflows.

Continuous monitoring and threat detection across AI data pipelines and containerized runtime environments
Protection against malware, compromised data, model poisoning, and unauthorized access
Shared telemetry between VAST and CrowdStrike Falcon for coordinated, real-time threat response
Native Zero-Trust security and multi-tenant data access controls built into the VAST AI OS

AI Lifecycle

Security Embedded Across Every Stage of AI

Most security tools protect the perimeter. VAST and CrowdStrike go further, securing AI from the inside out, at every stage of the lifecycle.

Data ingestion: Workflow scanning prevents compromised or untrusted data from entering AI pipelines
Model training: Continuous detection across multi-node GPU training environments at any scale
Runtime & inference: Real-time response contains threats at the source with minimal operational disruption
End-to-end: Extended NVIDIA collaboration further protects AI pipelines across infrastructure, workloads, and data

Security Embedded Across Every Stage of AI

Securing the Future of AI

AI is becoming the operating system of the modern enterprise. 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.
