Speaking at CrowdStrike’s Fal.Con 2026 event, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang cautioned that artificial intelligence is changing cybersecurity by enabling attackers to automate more operations. Stocktwits reported that he described CrowdStrike as Nvidia’s leading cybersecurity partner, with both companies seeking to equip defenders with comparable AI capabilities.
The companies unveiled SafeMind, a Cyber Superintelligence Lab designed to help organizations counter increasingly autonomous threats. Huang said attacks can now occur at AI inference speed, making traditional measures of how quickly intruders move through systems less useful.
SafeMind combines two models in a simulated enterprise environment. Blue Solano focuses on defense, while Red Tempest generates simulated attacks. By testing the models against each other, the system aims to strengthen threat detection and response capabilities over time.
Huang said Nvidia’s Nemotron models can be adapted for specialized security applications. CrowdStrike can refine them using its own cybersecurity knowledge and data. CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz described SafeMind as a system combining AI models with specialized software infrastructure.
Stocktwits reported that CrowdStrike shares dropped almost 7% during midday trading, while Nvidia shares slipped by more than 1%. Both stocks faced broader market pressure amid heightened U.S.-Iran tensions and rising oil prices.
