World Wide Technology (WWT) and CrowdStrike have launched a new AI-focused security lab designed to help enterprises secure artificial intelligence systems before deployment into production environments.
The Securing AI with CrowdStrike Lab, located within WWT’s AI Proving Ground, is built on NVIDIA AI factory infrastructure and provides organisations with a controlled environment to test, validate, and deploy AI systems with integrated security controls.
“AI is foundational to how modern enterprises operate and innovate, and security must evolve with it,” Daniel Bernard (pictured), chief business officer at CrowdStrike, said in a statement.
“Together with WWT and NVIDIA, we’re enabling organisations to test the CrowdStrike Falcon platform directly within AI factory environments. This helps organisations move from experimentation to production-grade AI, with protection embedded across infrastructure, cloud and runtime from day one.”
The initiative also combines WWT’s infrastructure capabilities and its AI Readiness Model for Operational Resilience (ARMOR) with CrowdStrike’s security platform, aiming to provide a clearer pathway from initial GPU investment through to full-scale AI production.
Chris Konrad, vice president of global cyber at World Wide Technology, said enterprises require practical environments to validate AI investments before committing to large-scale deployments.
“Enterprises need more than theoretical AI. They need a place to prove it works before investing,” Konrad said.
“By integrating NVIDIA AI Enterprise infrastructure with the CrowdStrike Falcon platform inside our Advanced Technology Centre, we’re giving customers a secure, validated path to evaluate and support AI at scale.”
Separately, CrowdStrike is also expanding its reach into AI-native cloud infrastructure through a new global partnership with Nebius, aimed at bringing its Falcon platform to high-performance environments purpose-built for large-scale AI workloads.
The integration will see Falcon embedded directly into Nebius AI Cloud – itself built on NVIDIA infrastructure – enabling organisations to extend existing security operations, policies and detection capabilities across distributed AI systems without disrupting established architectures, as demand grows for scalable and secure AI deployment platforms.
