World Wide Technology and CrowdStrike Launch Securing AI Lab Within WWT’s AI Proving Ground

The Securing AI Lab, built on NVIDIA AI factories within WWT’s AI Proving Ground, provides enterprises a validated path to secure, production-ready AI

AUSTIN, Texas & ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--World Wide Technology (WWT) and CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced the launch of the Securing AI with CrowdStrike Lab within WWT’s AI Proving Ground. Built on NVIDIA AI factories, the lab enables enterprises to test, validate, and deploy AI systems with unified security before moving into production.

Enterprises are rapidly scaling AI factories and accelerated computing environments to support business-critical workloads. As AI adoption expands, so does risk – across infrastructure, cloud, and runtime. Organizations must embed protection against misconfigurations, data exposure, and prompt injection directly into the AI stack to innovate at scale without increasing risk.

The Securing AI with CrowdStrike Lab enables organizations to integrate the Falcon® platform into AI environments built on the NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory validated design. The Falcon platform delivers unified protection across critical layers of enterprise AI environments, enabling teams to assess risk, validate controls, and accelerate secure AI deployment.

By combining WWT’s infrastructure expertise and AI Readiness Model for Operational Resilience (ARMOR) with CrowdStrike’s platform for securing AI, customers can move from GPU investment to production with greater visibility, governance, and control.

“AI is foundational to how modern enterprises operate and innovate, and security must evolve with it,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer, CrowdStrike. “Together with WWT and NVIDIA, we’re enabling organizations to test the CrowdStrike Falcon platform directly within AI factory environments. This helps organizations move from experimentation to production-grade AI, with protection embedded across infrastructure, cloud, and runtime from day one.”

"Enterprises need more than theoretical AI. They need a place to prove it works before investing,” said Chris Konrad, Vice President, Global Cyber, WWT. "By integrating NVIDIA AI Enterprise infrastructure with the CrowdStrike Falcon platform inside our Advanced Technology Center, we're giving customers a secure, validated path to evaluate and support AI at scale."

“AI is increasingly embedded in mission-critical systems, and security can’t be bolted on after deployment,” said Bryan Green, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer, MGM Resorts International. “As enterprises move from pilots to production, we need validated environments that embed protection from the start. World Wide Technology’s AI Proving Ground, secured by the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, helps organizations apply the rigor, visibility, and control required to scale AI with confidence.”

Together, WWT and CrowdStrike are enabling enterprises to operationalize AI securely, with unified protection embedded across infrastructure, cloud, and runtime as AI moves into production.
