CrowdStrike builds security frontier models with Nvidia and opens an AI lab

CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. today launched SafeMind, a family of artificial intelligence models and agent harnesses created with Nvidia Corp. and built for security work rather than general use.

A research organization the company also unveiled today, the Cyber Superintelligence Lab, produced them. CrowdStrike separately extended its Falcon platform across Google Cloud’s enterprise AI ecosystem, part of a run of announcements at its Fal.Con conference in Las Vegas this week.

SafeMind launches with two models. Red Tempest is the offensive one, built to emulate AI-driven adversaries and run advanced attack scenarios against an environment. Blue Solano plays defense, applying the containment measures CrowdStrike responders use on live incidents.

The harnesses run both in a closed loop that pits one model against the other so each improves, and they also drive frontier and open-source models from other providers. SafeMind will operate natively in the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, with standalone access to the models and harnesses handled through the Project QuiltWorks program the company started in April.
