CrowdStrike partners with Cerebras to deploy CS-2 wafer-scale processors for real-time AI threat detection and cybersecurity use cases.

CrowdStrike entered a partnership with AI chipmaker Cerebras Systems to enhance the speed of AI-powered cybersecurity. The announcement drove Cerebras shares up approximately 14% on Wednesday.

The collaboration integrates Cerebras' AI inference technology into CrowdStrike's Falcon AI Detection and Response platform, with the objective of accelerating threat detection and response as cyberattacks grow increasingly complex. Under the agreement, CrowdStrike will use Cerebras' inference platform to power its Falcon AI Detection and Response models, while Cerebras will deploy CrowdStrike's Falcon cybersecurity platform to protect its own operations.

The companies designed the partnership to combine high-speed AI inference with AI-native cybersecurity, enabling organizations building and deploying artificial intelligence systems to identify and respond to threats in real time.
