CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) and Cerebras Systems (NASDAQ: CBRS) announced a strategic partnership on July 22, 2026, under which CrowdStrike will use Cerebras's AI inference infrastructure to help power its Falcon AI Detection and Response (AIDR) product.

As part of the arrangement, Cerebras has also standardized on the CrowdStrike Falcon platform to secure its own business operations.

Naor Penso, CISO at Cerebras, commented on the partnership: "Security cannot wait in the queue for slow AI while an attack unfolds. Every millisecond matters. It determines whether AI prevents an attack or explains what happened afterward."

Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike, said: "By running Falcon AIDR models on Cerebras, we put the world's best security AI on the world's fastest inference."

The partnership pairs Cerebras's inference hardware with CrowdStrike's Falcon platform, which covers endpoints, cloud workloads, identity, and data security. CrowdStrike describes AIDR as a category it pioneered to secure AI across data, models, agents, and identities.

Both companies are headquartered in the United States, with CrowdStrike based in Austin, Texas, and Cerebras Systems in Sunnyvale, California.
