CrowdStrike has announced an expanded collaboration with NVIDIA to advance Agentic Managed Detection and Response (MDR) using the NVIDIA Agent Toolkit, featuring open NVIDIA Nemotron models and NVIDIA NeMo Data Designer to power specialized security agents and speed investigative workflows. CrowdStrike will also be expanding Charlotte AI AgentWorks with support for NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super, enabling organizations to build custom AI agents leveraging the most efficient, intelligent open model. Early internal testing with CrowdStrike Falcon® Complete Next-Gen MDR demonstrates up to 5x faster investigations and more than 3x higher triage accuracy in high-confidence benign classification performance when powered by NVIDIA Nemotron Nano and Nemotron Super models.

Why it matters

As adversaries increasingly leverage AI to accelerate reconnaissance, evasion, and lateral movement, security teams must operate at machine speed and scale. Agentic MDR represents the next evolution of managed defense – where AI-native agents augment expert analysts to streamline high-volume workflows, elevate decision quality, and scale elite protection across enterprise environments.

The details

CrowdStrike evaluated NVIDIA Nemotron models across a range of potential Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR use cases to orchestrate investigative workflows and automate high-volume Tier 1 analysis while preserving analyst oversight. The NVIDIA Nemotron models were customized with synthetic data generated with NVIDIA NeMo Data Designer. Internal benchmarking conducted by CrowdStrike and NVIDIA of Nemotron Nano and Nemotron Super models validates measurable performance gains, including up to 5x faster investigations and more than 3x higher triage accuracy for a significant reduction in manual triage workload.
