00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:13.757
AI is changing the world,

00:00:13.840 --> 00:00:17.757
every business, every industry, and it's

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:19.997
moving faster than anything that came

00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:21.597
before.

00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:28.077
But with all of its promise,
AI is nothing if it's not secure.

00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:28.477
>> [music]

00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:32.717
>> So the question is how do we secure AI

00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:35.677
at the speed of AI?

00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:39.757
We were built to answer that question.

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:42.477
This is our moment [music] to secure

00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:45.437
what AI makes possible and protect what

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.317
the world depends on. [music]

00:00:48.400 --> 00:00:51.277
The future is here

00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:57.000
and we're trusted to secure
it [music] together.

00:00:57.360 --> 00:01:01.400
Welcome to Falcon.

00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:11.837
Please welcome Chief Executive Officer

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:16.557
and founder of CrowdStrike, George Kurts.

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:19.310
[music] [applause]

00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:25.860
>> [music and applause]

00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.237
>> Well, this summer you all read the same

00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:36.397
story I did about an agent that escaped

00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:38.317
its sandbox.

00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:40.877
It broke into one of the most relevant

00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:44.317
AI companies on the planet. It escalated

00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:47.197
privileges. It stole credentials.

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.757
and it buried the real attack under a

00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.517
mound of information.

00:01:53.600 --> 00:01:55.277
Then our industry did what it normally

00:01:55.360 --> 00:01:59.677
does. It went on social media and argued

00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:03.640
whose fault it was.

00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:07.677
But almost everyone drew the wrong

00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:12.397
lesson from the OpenAI
hugging face incident.

00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:15.997
And I'm I'm going to spend
the next 30 minutes

00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.197
telling you the right one because in my

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:22.237
mind it changes everything about our

00:02:22.320 --> 00:02:27.197
industry. So for years
we ranked our adversaries

00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:31.037
in the pyramid.
I call it the pyramid of pain

00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:35.277
where activists were on the bottom,
e-crime in the middle, nation state on

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:36.957
the top.

00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:38.637
of course more activists than nation

00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:42.477
state. And the top really represented

00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.357
the apex predator, the greatest

00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:49.597
capabilities, the most sophistication.

00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.077
The bottom, many more, least

00:02:52.160 --> 00:02:54.077
sophisticated.

00:02:54.160 --> 00:02:57.277
The pyramid existed for exactly one

00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.077
reason. The offensive capability was

00:03:00.160 --> 00:03:02.877
scarce. It took a nation to fund the

00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:06.077
talent, the tooling, the infrastructure,

00:03:06.160 --> 00:03:07.997
the patience.

00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.717
But the scarcity is over. And let me

00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.437
give you two examples.

00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.077
Last November, Anthropic disclosed a

00:03:16.160 --> 00:03:19.757
state sponsored actor running a live

00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.957
espionage campaign

00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:27.197
using its models.

00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.077
Roughly 30 organizations

00:03:30.160 --> 00:03:35.880
were targeted, banks,
tech companies, governments.

00:03:36.880 --> 00:03:40.877
80 to 90% was orchestrated by AI. 80 to

00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.157
90%. And instead of a piece of malware,

00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.717
it was actually English. It was a prompt

00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.917
that did most of the work.

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:54.797
And there were four to six human touches
for targeting, approvals, things of that

00:03:54.880 --> 00:03:56.077
nature.

00:03:56.160 --> 00:03:58.877
The agent did everything else. Now, this

00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:02.157
wasn't a demo. It wasn't a lab exercise.

00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.197
It was a live campaign.

00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.637
If we fast forward to July,

00:04:08.720 --> 00:04:11.117
we can talk about hugging face.

00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:14.477
Autonomous agents drove an intrusion end

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.557
to end.

00:04:16.640 --> 00:04:19.357
Let me say that again. Autonomous agents

00:04:19.440 --> 00:04:21.837
drove an intrusion end to end. And for

00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:26.557
me, this was a watershed
moment in security.

00:04:26.640 --> 00:04:30.557
We all thought the agents
broke out of the sandbox.

00:04:30.640 --> 00:04:33.437
I personally think

00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:36.957
the agents thought they broke free.

00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:38.877
There's a big difference. And it's

00:04:38.960 --> 00:04:41.277
amazing when you go through the reports

00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:45.597
on this, and I give credit to OpenAI and

00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:50.397
Hugging Face for putting
this information out.

00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:52.317
So the agents weren't attacking anyone.

00:04:52.400 --> 00:04:54.077
They were trying to find information to

00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:57.437
actually cheat on a test. No campaign,

00:04:57.520 --> 00:04:59.997
no tasking, no malice. They were

00:05:00.080 --> 00:05:01.997
literally looking to try to find the

00:05:02.080 --> 00:05:04.637
answers. And this is the floor in which

00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.837
AI is operating from merely passing a

00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:10.877
test in this particular case.

00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:13.917
Now some of you know the July incident.

00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.957
It was in a sandbox with the guard rails

00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:21.917
relaxed. the safety systems were turned
down. And some of you may say, "Well,

00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:26.077
the airbags were off. That doesn't count."
And when I hear that, I think

00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.077
the opposite.

00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:33.117
With the safety system off, it gives us
a view into the capabilities of what the

00:05:33.200 --> 00:05:37.357
agents can actually do.
And you have to ask

00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:39.917
yourself one question, and that is, do

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.397
we think the adversaries are going to

00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.757
turn the safety systems off? I

00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:47.997
personally don't and there's a good

00:05:48.080 --> 00:05:53.357
reason why. Now, this may
be a new term for you, but

00:05:53.440 --> 00:05:56.157
it's something that you should know
because it's really relevant to what I'm

00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.597
talking about. Obliterated models

00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.077
from the term oblate. So, essentially,

00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:05.517
these are models that basically have

00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:10.237
their their guard rails relaxed. These
are openweight models that anyone can

00:06:10.320 --> 00:06:11.757
download.

00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:14.077
And what that means is that you

00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:18.557
essentially have frontier capable models

00:06:18.640 --> 00:06:22.317
essentially without guardrails.

00:06:22.400 --> 00:06:26.637
Very easy to ask it a question and to get
an answer. And some of the questions

00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:28.877
that you ask it and some of the answers

00:06:28.960 --> 00:06:32.077
you get back, you would be astounded.

00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:36.477
Folks, this is here today. And this is
one of the reasons why when I say the

00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:38.797
airbags are off, they're staying off. I

00:06:38.880 --> 00:06:41.277
actually mean it.

00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.517
Now, let's get back to our apex

00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.877
predators. The pyramid of pain.

00:06:46.960 --> 00:06:48.557
It used to be capabilities that

00:06:48.640 --> 00:06:52.317
separated the tiers. The apex predators

00:06:52.400 --> 00:06:55.277
were at the top. Time, resources, and

00:06:55.360 --> 00:07:00.237
sophistication. But the new apex predator

00:07:00.320 --> 00:07:02.237
is the agent.

00:07:02.320 --> 00:07:04.717
I've got to update my chart now. Now,

00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.517
we've got four rungs.

00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:10.477
And what I mean by that is

00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.277
this is really the rise of the agent

00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:16.637
state. We hear about nation state, it's

00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.437
now the agent state.

00:07:19.520 --> 00:07:21.997
Because when apex capabilities become a

00:07:22.080 --> 00:07:26.797
prompt, guess what happens?

00:07:26.880 --> 00:07:29.197
There are no tears at all. Every

00:07:29.280 --> 00:07:31.837
adversary, every e-crime crew, every

00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.557
insider are now operating with

00:07:34.640 --> 00:07:37.117
nationstate capabilities. The pyramid

00:07:37.200 --> 00:07:40.957
has just been obliterated, flattened.

00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:43.197
This is what we're we're dealing with in

00:07:43.280 --> 00:07:45.277
today's environment. So, let's go back

00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.877
to July and we'll talk about what

00:07:48.960 --> 00:07:52.317
actually happened. I'm going to breeze
through this because I think many of you

00:07:52.400 --> 00:07:55.677
know it, but I'll talk about it and you

00:07:55.760 --> 00:07:57.197
can see it on the screen. You have

00:07:57.280 --> 00:07:59.917
sandbox escapes. You have a malicious

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.957
data set. You have code execution,

00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.197
privilege escalation, lateral movement,

00:08:05.280 --> 00:08:07.597
credential theft, covert C2, decoy

00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:10.077
activities. It's all there. By the way,

00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.277
this looks exactly like a nation state

00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.317
activity. And I I actually urge everyone

00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:20.397
to go back and read some of the white
papers on this to see how the agents

00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.957
communicated, to see what they did
with the message boards, to see how they

00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.117
coordinated.

00:08:27.200 --> 00:08:31.597
And some would say that the 1,200 agents

00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:34.237
were actually believed to be acting for

00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:36.317
the collective.

00:08:36.400 --> 00:08:41.517
Think about that. Actually working on
behalf of the collective, for the common

00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.037
good.

00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:47.197
Now, if you look closer, you've got 17

00:08:47.280 --> 00:08:50.237
plus,000 actions with no human on the

00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:51.677
keyboard. You could see it here.

00:08:51.760 --> 00:08:55.277
Droppers, recon, remote code execution,

00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:59.197
backdoor tunneling, C2 evasion, it's all
there. Anything in red actually caused

00:08:59.280 --> 00:09:01.277
damage.

00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.357
56 that stole data, 69 that took source

00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:08.717
code, 87 that seized the clusters. The

00:09:08.800 --> 00:09:10.317
successful attack was hidden in

00:09:10.400 --> 00:09:14.157
thousands of lines of actual failures.

00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:15.757
And by the way, no human can actually

00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:21.480
pick all of that out from the data
that they had to sift through.

00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:24.637
So for years I stood on the stage like

00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:26.397
this one and I tracked this number

00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:28.637
called breakout.

00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:32.077
62 48 29. The fastest one that we saw

00:09:32.160 --> 00:09:34.717
last year was 27. And we call that

00:09:34.800 --> 00:09:37.597
machine speed. We were wrong. I was

00:09:37.680 --> 00:09:40.877
wrong. This was human speed with better

00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:45.757
tools and breakout time is over. I don't
know what we're going to do for next

00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:49.597
year's report, but we're going to have
to come out with another metric because

00:09:49.680 --> 00:09:53.917
it's gone.
But this is what I want you all to

00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:55.597
understand.

00:09:55.680 --> 00:09:58.717
Attacks now happen

00:09:58.800 --> 00:10:01.597
at infant speed.

00:10:01.680 --> 00:10:06.477
Think about that. Attacks are happening
at infant speed. And when attacker has

00:10:06.560 --> 00:10:08.397
inference speed, there is no breakout

00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:14.120
time. There's actually no time
at all to deal with these attacks.

00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:16.877
So in this particular case, going back

00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:18.317
to hugging face, the intrusion

00:10:18.400 --> 00:10:22.637
succeeded, credentials were stolen,

00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:27.197
forge identities and tokens stolen,
they held admin access across multiple

00:10:27.280 --> 00:10:29.517
internal clusters.

00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:33.357
But this is an important point.

00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:36.237
intent stopped the attack. What did they

00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.277
want to do? Those agents wanted to pass

00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.837
the test. Goal seeking in a way that I

00:10:43.920 --> 00:10:47.677
think we've never seen before in cyber
security. I mean, really powerful and

00:10:47.760 --> 00:10:50.237
fascinating. The agent was cheating, but

00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:53.597
it wasn't trying to do damage.

00:10:53.680 --> 00:10:56.317
So, let me make it clear. The company

00:10:56.400 --> 00:10:58.237
was spared because of the agent's

00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:04.640
intent, not the defense. Not the defense.

00:11:04.800 --> 00:11:07.117
Security saw it, generated a lot of

00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:08.717
information,

00:11:08.800 --> 00:11:12.557
but it failed to raise enough alarms

00:11:12.640 --> 00:11:15.117
that the that the administrators were

00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:18.957
paged. So, it cost some time.

00:11:19.040 --> 00:11:22.877
They saw some activity, didn't know how
to put it all together. And by the way,

00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.877
this is not a knock on anyone. You got
a sophisticated company with incredible

00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.397
people, but there's a lot of data they
have to go through. And these agents

00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.877
again are acting in an autonomous

00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:35.117
fashion. So here's where it gets

00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:38.397
interesting to me that the frontier AI

00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:41.357
actually refused to do the forensics.

00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:44.637
The guardrails that actually stopped AI

00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:46.957
from writing exploit

00:11:47.040 --> 00:11:49.677
actually stopped it from taking one

00:11:49.760 --> 00:11:54.157
apart. The fire department
wouldn't enter the

00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.077
building. 17,000 actions
couldn't sort out what

00:11:58.160 --> 00:12:00.397
happened. So what did they actually have

00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.037
to do? They actually had to stand up

00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.277
their own openweight model to understand

00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.717
what happened with all of the log
information they had and try to

00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:15.197
reconstruct the attack.
There was no adversary in this

00:12:15.280 --> 00:12:17.517
particular case and what tore through

00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:21.037
the infrastructure was legitimate agents

00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:26.317
doing their job all too well with more
access than anyone realized it actually

00:12:26.400 --> 00:12:31.800
had. So you have to ask yourself

00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:36.797
what's running in your environment.

00:12:36.880 --> 00:12:39.597
Do you know

00:12:39.680 --> 00:12:42.557
what is it actually doing?

00:12:42.640 --> 00:12:45.117
Who knows?

00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:47.597
And what risk

00:12:47.680 --> 00:12:50.397
does it actually pose?

00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:53.357
This is not a hypothetical threat.

00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:56.637
This is something that happened.
And again, I think as an industry, we got

00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:59.837
lucky because it wasn't really intent on

00:12:59.920 --> 00:13:01.357
damage,

00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:08.440
but this incident really shapes
what's inside your own walls.

00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:14.717
So, the agent state
isn't at your perimeter.

00:13:14.800 --> 00:13:17.597
It's actually on your payroll.

00:13:17.680 --> 00:13:20.397
You just don't know its name. And here's

00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:25.037
what's amazing.
your companies, your people,

00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:29.197
organizations brought them
all in. The old model was

00:13:29.280 --> 00:13:31.437
keep everybody out. Now it's let them

00:13:31.520 --> 00:13:34.237
all in. So that's where we are. We can't

00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:37.517
see them. We can't keep up with them.

00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:42.520
And no one has built AI for the defender.

00:13:44.400 --> 00:13:46.717
AI is the new battleground. You're going

00:13:46.800 --> 00:13:48.237
to hear that obviously a lot through

00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:52.317
this conference. And 15 years ago, I

00:13:52.400 --> 00:13:55.277
told everyone Endpoint
was the battleground.

00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:58.237
Then it was identity. Then it was cloud.

00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.277
And today AI is the new battleground.

00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:04.077
Every time computing grows a new attack

00:14:04.160 --> 00:14:08.317
surface, Falcon grew with you, our

00:14:08.400 --> 00:14:12.717
customers. The same platform,
the same sensor,

00:14:12.800 --> 00:14:17.917
the same weapon that you needed
to win, we were there for you.

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.437
And we've been there for some
of the most consequential attack surface

00:14:21.520 --> 00:14:27.880
changes in the world.
And the AI agent is the next one.

00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:34.680
So today we're talking AIDR,

00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:37.037
AI detection and response. We're

00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:40.637
launching Falcon Guardian.

00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.837
I'm so excited about this. This is one

00:14:43.920 --> 00:14:45.277
of the things that we've worked on. And

00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:48.717
I personally worked on this myself with

00:14:48.800 --> 00:14:52.077
the team and we spent a lot of time with

00:14:52.160 --> 00:14:54.717
customers getting their feedback,

00:14:54.800 --> 00:14:59.437
listening to what they wanted and
basically delivering something that can

00:14:59.520 --> 00:15:01.197
help them not only understand their

00:15:01.280 --> 00:15:03.757
risk, understand what's running, but

00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:07.197
more importantly help accelerate AI

00:15:07.280 --> 00:15:10.077
adoption in your own organizations. So

00:15:10.160 --> 00:15:13.037
let's roll the video. Today, CrowdStrike

00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:15.597
launches Falcon Guardian, securing AI

00:15:15.680 --> 00:15:17.677
agents where they execute on the

00:15:17.760 --> 00:15:20.237
endpoint. A decade of runtime security

00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:23.277
leadership now extended to agents. AI

00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:25.517
agents act autonomously at machine

00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:28.237
speed. But organizations don't know

00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:30.637
where they run, who deployed them, or

00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:33.357
what risks they introduce. Guardian

00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:35.517
changes that.

00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:37.677
It starts with discovery.

00:15:37.760 --> 00:15:42.557
Guardian maps your entire AI agent
fleet known as shadow AI across every

00:15:42.640 --> 00:15:45.997
endpoint. An interactive
honeycomb renders the

00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:48.367
full inventory at a glance. Filter

00:15:48.450 --> 00:15:50.797
[music] by type, cluster by risk. Answer

00:15:50.880 --> 00:15:53.757
the board's hardest question in seconds.

00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:55.837
Turn AI [music] governance policy into

00:15:55.920 --> 00:15:58.797
runtime enforcement. Define which agents

00:15:58.880 --> 00:16:01.437
run where, which tools they touch, what

00:16:01.520 --> 00:16:04.077
executes, and set guard rails for prompt

00:16:04.160 --> 00:16:06.877
visibility and control. At the core is

00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:09.357
the agent graph. A single causal

00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:11.517
timeline fusing prompt layer activity

00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.077
with OS layer telemetry.

00:16:14.160 --> 00:16:16.557
What the agent was told, what it

00:16:16.640 --> 00:16:21.197
actually did. One sensor, one story.

00:16:21.280 --> 00:16:25.037
This is layered detection, exposing
attacks that either layer alone would

00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.837
miss. Guardian secures the entire agent

00:16:27.920 --> 00:16:32.157
runtime, letting your enterprise embrace
AI with confidence to work at the speed

00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:34.317
of innovation.

00:16:34.400 --> 00:16:39.277
One sensor, one console, one platform.

00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:42.840
Falcon Guardian.

00:16:45.520 --> 00:16:47.677
All right. Well, it's now available.

00:16:47.760 --> 00:16:51.997
It's GA. So, if you want to check it out,
get down to the booth, get a demo.

00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:56.157
And folks, that was just a teaser.
Mike Senonus is going to give you the full

00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:00.877
details, the full demo tomorrow,
and it's going to blow your socks off.

00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:02.717
Now, getting back to the agent state. I

00:17:02.800 --> 00:17:05.997
told you it's on your payroll.

00:17:06.080 --> 00:17:08.557
Now you know its name, how to stop it,

00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:14.600
how to control it.
Same sensor, new attack surface.

00:17:14.800 --> 00:17:19.277
But the best AI on Earth
was built for everyone.

00:17:19.360 --> 00:17:20.797
And remember what happened in Hugging

00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.837
Face? They turned to AI for the

00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:26.317
forensics and the model refused. The

00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:28.877
guard rails that stopped the model from

00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:33.437
writing exploits stopped
stopped one from taking it apart.

00:17:33.520 --> 00:17:37.277
And in the moment of crisis, the best
AI on earth was really built for everyone

00:17:37.360 --> 00:17:40.157
except for the folks in the audience,

00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:43.197
except for the defenders.

00:17:43.280 --> 00:17:45.597
Think about that. The best AI on the

00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:52.280
planet was built for everyone
but the defenders.

00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:02.637
General purpose models are general

00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:05.917
purpose. However, as defenders, we need

00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:11.037
models that are built for defenders,
that understand security, that have been

00:18:11.120 --> 00:18:16.200
trained on some of the largest
data sets in the world.

00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:19.037
So, I'm pleased to announce that we're

00:18:19.120 --> 00:18:22.077
launching the Crowd Strike Cyber Super

00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:24.797
Intelligence Lab.

00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:29.117
Three elements. You know what its name is.
Let's go through what it's actually

00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:31.277
going to do.

00:18:31.360 --> 00:18:34.157
Mission pretty simple. Frontier

00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:37.837
AI research with a single purpose and

00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:40.157
that is cyber defense.

00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:45.277
Not general intelligence with a security
feature. security intelligence.

00:18:45.360 --> 00:18:47.037
We're not interested in solving hard

00:18:47.120 --> 00:18:48.877
math problems. We're interested in

00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.397
solving hard security problems.

00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:55.597
Number two, the data actually trained on

00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:57.757
the trillions of events that the Falcon

00:18:57.840 --> 00:19:01.117
sensor has sees every day. Endpoints,

00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:05.037
identities, cloud now agents, and a data

00:19:05.120 --> 00:19:07.357
set that doesn't exist anywhere else on

00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:11.197
Earth. And it's not something that's

00:19:11.280 --> 00:19:14.557
general purpose that anyone else has.

00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:16.237
It is something that we actually have

00:19:16.320 --> 00:19:19.357
and we've trained our models on

00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:22.557
and the people and the partnership.

00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.797
The lab is run by Bartley Richardson,
formerly of NVIDIA. You're going to hear

00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:29.357
from him on Thursday. We're bringing the

00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:31.597
best AI talent in the world to

00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:33.917
CrowdStrike. However, we're not building

00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.957
it alone. And you'll hear in a second

00:19:37.040 --> 00:19:40.637
who we're partnering with.

00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:43.277
Now, when a company announces a lab,

00:19:43.360 --> 00:19:45.117
everyone has the right to be skeptical

00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:47.757
because labs turn out papers. And I can

00:19:47.840 --> 00:19:50.797
tell you papers don't stop breaches. So,

00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:53.757
we decided to stand up our lab. And we

00:19:53.840 --> 00:19:55.597
didn't announce the lab until we can

00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:58.637
actually show you what we built.

00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:02.760
The lab is not the announcement.

00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:09.997
The lab is the factory.
And I want to show you the factory. I

00:20:10.080 --> 00:20:13.757
want to show you what cranked out of
this factory. But let me show you who we

00:20:13.840 --> 00:20:16.557
actually partnered with.

00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:19.277
Together with Nvidia, we built cyber

00:20:19.360 --> 00:20:22.157
security's first complete agentic system

00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:25.277
for cyber security, including the first

00:20:25.360 --> 00:20:29.997
frontier models and harness
purpose-built for defenders.

00:20:30.080 --> 00:20:31.997
This isn't a co-pilot that's baked into

00:20:32.080 --> 00:20:33.997
someone else's intelligence. It's not a

00:20:34.080 --> 00:20:37.197
chatbot with a security skin. It is a

00:20:37.280 --> 00:20:41.517
frontier class model built and trained

00:20:41.600 --> 00:20:44.317
by Crowd Strike on our data in

00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:47.677
partnership with Nvidia. And we're going

00:20:47.760 --> 00:20:50.077
to talk more about that right after my

00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:54.157
keynote. Couldn't be more excited. So, I

00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:57.037
want you to meet Blue Solano, a frontier

00:20:57.120 --> 00:21:04.120
class model purpose-built for defense.

00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:10.957
We need to defend at the speed
of the attack. It's trained on the largest

00:21:11.040 --> 00:21:13.677
security data set, 15 years of stopping

00:21:13.760 --> 00:21:15.277
breaches,

00:21:15.360 --> 00:21:19.357
but defending is only half of the job.

00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:22.077
Meet Red Tempest. purpose-built for

00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:24.397
offensive security.

00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:27.437
This acts as an advanced adversary doing

00:21:27.520 --> 00:21:29.997
the work that generalpurpose models

00:21:30.080 --> 00:21:37.000
won't touch. Continuous red
teaming at machine speed.

00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:44.317
Now, we have the saying
offense in service of defense.

00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:45.837
Kind of gets back to the old hacking

00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:48.637
exposed days. If you understood how the

00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:51.677
attacks work, you better able to defend

00:21:51.760 --> 00:21:54.317
on against those. And this is really an

00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:56.957
important element. Understanding how the

00:21:57.040 --> 00:21:59.437
adversary works is key to stopping the

00:21:59.520 --> 00:22:01.757
breaches. It's in the ethos of crowd

00:22:01.840 --> 00:22:04.557
strike. So every attack that Red Te Red

00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:07.677
Tempest actually runs, Blue Solano

00:22:07.760 --> 00:22:11.837
learns from offense in service of

00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:14.920
defense.

00:22:15.600 --> 00:22:18.477
Now, two models are in a system. What

00:22:18.560 --> 00:22:21.117
makes this very unique is the harness

00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:24.157
that we actually built to run them. And

00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:27.357
that's Crowd Strike Safe Mind. That is a

00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:30.957
complete system including the harness.

00:22:31.040 --> 00:22:35.037
And I can tell you the harness makes
a massive difference and the training

00:22:35.120 --> 00:22:36.797
makes a ma massive difference to get to

00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:39.517
the best outcome

00:22:39.600 --> 00:22:42.077
with the lowest cost. So crowd strike

00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:44.717
safe mine offense

00:22:44.800 --> 00:22:48.717
harness defense a complete system that

00:22:48.800 --> 00:22:52.600
works in tandem together.

00:22:52.800 --> 00:22:56.957
Now [clears throat] I want to give you
one example. This is just one example of

00:22:57.040 --> 00:22:59.677
an unlimited number of examples that we

00:22:59.760 --> 00:23:02.317
want to demonstrate the power when you

00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:04.797
combine blue and red together. So, the

00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:07.277
best way to survive an attack is to make

00:23:07.360 --> 00:23:09.597
sure you're attacking yourself in one

00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:12.157
that you've never seen before it

00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:15.837
actually happens. On one side, it closes

00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.957
the loop and the offensive model runs

00:23:19.040 --> 00:23:22.877
the attack, but the defensive model
actually learns from it. It's the

00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:24.957
continuous cycle

00:23:25.040 --> 00:23:27.917
that helps get the defender to be

00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:30.637
sharper, to continuously learn from what

00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:33.597
red is doing. Now, it's easy for me to

00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:38.237
talk about it, but one of the things
that I want to do is show it to you. And

00:23:38.320 --> 00:23:39.917
one of the exciting pieces that we

00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:43.677
actually built is a digital twin to

00:23:43.760 --> 00:23:45.997
actually simulate this in a safe

00:23:46.080 --> 00:23:52.637
environment. So, with that,
let's roll the video.

00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:55.437
Meet Safemind, an autonomous agentic

00:23:55.520 --> 00:23:57.997
system to redefine cyber security as we

00:23:58.080 --> 00:24:02.557
know it. Safemind is a complete set
of state-of-the-art harnesses and models

00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:07.357
that exceed frontier level capability
for cyber security applications.

00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:09.357
Safemind excels at delivering the

00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:11.837
prevention, detection, and response life

00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.277
cycle at machine speed. It goes beyond

00:24:15.360 --> 00:24:17.757
surfacing findings all the way to taking

00:24:17.840 --> 00:24:20.797
autonomous cyber defense action. In one

00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:23.357
use case, an analyst activates Safemind

00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:26.477
as a skill in an AI tool. Powering Safe

00:24:26.560 --> 00:24:29.037
Mind are two new classes of models, Red

00:24:29.120 --> 00:24:31.677
Tempest and Blue Solano. The analyst

00:24:31.760 --> 00:24:33.917
loads data about their enterprise. This

00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:37.197
data can be anything. Asset inventories,

00:24:37.280 --> 00:24:39.837
identity stores, adversary intelligence,

00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:42.397
threat graphs, Falcon telemetry,

00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:45.197
everything needed for cyber operations.

00:24:45.280 --> 00:24:47.517
Safe Mind's best-in-class models both

00:24:47.600 --> 00:24:50.157
build and deploy a complex clone of your

00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:52.957
enterprise, matching hosts, topology,

00:24:53.040 --> 00:24:56.397
operating systems, applications.

00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:00.557
Let's harden our defenses by loading
an attacker scenario, unleashing Red

00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:04.477
Tempest. The model
immediately assesses multiple

00:25:04.560 --> 00:25:07.117
paths to achieve its goal, autonomously

00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:10.717
succeeding in data exfiltration.

00:25:10.800 --> 00:25:12.717
Safe mine captures the traces from Red

00:25:12.800 --> 00:25:15.357
Tempest and Blue Salano takes over a

00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:17.997
defender model beyond Frontier level.

00:25:18.080 --> 00:25:20.397
Operating in a Crowdstrike harness, Blue

00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:25.117
Solano learns, identifies holes,
validates new detections, and deploys

00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:27.197
them immediately. With the new

00:25:27.280 --> 00:25:29.357
detections in place, let's see how Red

00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:32.237
Tempest does. The new defenses written

00:25:32.320 --> 00:25:34.717
by Blue Solano stopped Red Tempest in

00:25:34.800 --> 00:25:37.197
its tracks, and it's forced to adapt and

00:25:37.280 --> 00:25:40.397
find a new path.

00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:43.997
The loop repeats again and again and

00:25:44.080 --> 00:25:48.557
again until there isn't
a path left for Red Tempest.

00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:50.797
The Blue Solano model outsmarted the

00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:53.437
attack, learning from Red Tempest while

00:25:53.520 --> 00:25:56.557
creating new remediations and defenses.

00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:00.637
Detection coverage grows, raising
the cost for an actual adversary

00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:03.997
dramatically. But what
you saw doesn't just happen

00:26:04.080 --> 00:26:06.557
once. Safe Mind gives every defender

00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:09.037
Beyond Frontier capabilities as Blue

00:26:09.120 --> 00:26:11.437
Salano is built and evolves with Red

00:26:11.520 --> 00:26:14.077
Tempest, ensuring the best defense is

00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:16.957
always aware of the best offense.

00:26:17.040 --> 00:26:19.037
Use Red Tempest for the best offensive

00:26:19.120 --> 00:26:22.237
security and to identify risk. Use Blue

00:26:22.320 --> 00:26:24.797
Solano for your defense. Use them

00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:29.917
independently or combine them to ensure
your defense stays ahead of Elite

00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:33.997
Offense. Safe Mind goes
beyond generic frontier

00:26:34.080 --> 00:26:36.157
models for cyber security, turning

00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:39.037
findings into autonomous action. The

00:26:39.120 --> 00:26:41.757
Defender advantage starts now.

00:26:41.840 --> 00:26:46.237
CrowdStrike, delivering the first
frontier AI models purpose-built for

00:26:46.320 --> 00:26:48.717
cyber security.

00:26:48.800 --> 00:26:54.360
All right. How cool is that?
How cool is that?

00:26:56.320 --> 00:26:58.477
Now, this is just one example that we

00:26:58.560 --> 00:27:01.037
showed. Obviously, the models and the

00:27:01.120 --> 00:27:05.517
harness will help power the platform,
the Falcon platform that you that you

00:27:05.600 --> 00:27:09.837
all use. Um, and you'll see
that come into the platform.

00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:11.917
But I want to be uh clear because we

00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:16.957
have worked with a lot of uh partners in
advance of this and there is an interest

00:27:17.040 --> 00:27:21.517
in getting access to the models directly.
And what we're doing for that

00:27:21.600 --> 00:27:25.277
is we're opening that up to our trusted
access program and that will be part of

00:27:25.360 --> 00:27:29.597
our quilt works program. So if you
have more interested if you have more

00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:33.277
interest in that you can talk
to your reps but the models themselves the

00:27:33.360 --> 00:27:37.037
harness will be in the platform and then
obviously there will be a lot more

00:27:37.120 --> 00:27:39.277
things that you could do with it um if

00:27:39.360 --> 00:27:41.917
you're consuming the models directly so

00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:46.797
more to learn on that more to see uh you
can stop by the booth and uh see what it

00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:50.877
all looks like but I couldn't be prouder
of the team what we put together I

00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:53.117
couldn't be more thankful for the help

00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:55.597
that Nvidia provided and I think this is

00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:59.117
one of those areas where uh you have

00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:00.637
good folks in the industry coming

00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:03.437
together to solve a really hard problem

00:28:03.520 --> 00:28:07.037
and doing in a way that customers want.

00:28:07.120 --> 00:28:11.917
Now, for me, it's important to talk
about choice because I want to be clear

00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:15.917
about this. We're not going to lock you
into our models, right? If you want to

00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:19.357
use our models, if you want to use
Frontier models, and we'll talk about

00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:22.877
that a little bit later, or you want to
use open- source models, or you actually

00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:27.277
want to put all the models together,
that's fine. It's an open open ecosystem

00:28:27.360 --> 00:28:30.877
and we're not talking about vendor lock
in but we want to give our customers

00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:34.877
choice in what they want to use as part
of the overall platform and of course

00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:37.597
leveraging the harness which really is

00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:42.157
the is the the the the 10x factor in uh

00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:46.557
in getting additional results at the
lowest cost. So if you step back and you

00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:49.037
look at what we built, Guardian protects

00:28:49.120 --> 00:28:52.397
every agent on the new attack surface.

00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:56.557
The lab builds frontier AI defenses and

00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:57.997
that's it goal and there'll be a lot

00:28:58.080 --> 00:29:00.477
more that's coming out from the lab and

00:29:00.560 --> 00:29:03.597
of course safe mine acts right natively

00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:06.957
in one platform one console one agent

00:29:07.040 --> 00:29:10.557
one control plane which is critical for

00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:14.317
our customers. I also want
to be clear that you stay in

00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:20.440
control you stay in control of the system.

00:29:20.560 --> 00:29:24.477
This is incredibly important from a
safety perspective and things that we

00:29:24.560 --> 00:29:28.317
thought about in the overall architecture.

00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:30.877
So in closing,

00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:32.717
I want to go back to what I talked about

00:29:32.800 --> 00:29:35.997
in the beginning and that is most people

00:29:36.080 --> 00:29:38.957
drew the wrong lesson from hugging face.

00:29:39.040 --> 00:29:41.197
Some saw these anonymous autonomous

00:29:41.280 --> 00:29:44.077
agents act in a way that we haven't seen

00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:47.277
before. Some saw the swarm. Some read

00:29:47.360 --> 00:29:49.437
about the message boards. Some sought

00:29:49.520 --> 00:29:54.797
about, some saw covering up their tracks
and some saw the agents work as a

00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:56.237
collective group for the good of the

00:29:56.320 --> 00:29:59.197
entire group. But the real gap that I

00:29:59.280 --> 00:30:02.877
saw was that the attackers had frontier

00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:05.117
AI

00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:08.797
and the defenders didn't.

00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:11.997
And that changes now.

00:30:12.080 --> 00:30:14.797
The agent state is here.

00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:18.477
Attacks at inference speed is here.

00:30:18.560 --> 00:30:21.037
So every leap in AI can serve the

00:30:21.120 --> 00:30:23.837
attacker or it can serve the defender.

00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:27.437
But at Crowdstrike,
we're bending the curve

00:30:27.520 --> 00:30:30.397
and we're giving the power back to the

00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:32.477
defender.

00:30:32.560 --> 00:30:37.277
Adversaries have frontier capabilities.

00:30:37.360 --> 00:30:41.277
Now you do too. You have Falcon. Thank

00:30:41.360 --> 00:30:44.157
you so much. Have a great Falcon and I

00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:49.800
look forward to seeing
you in just a minute. Heat.

00:31:04.150 --> 00:31:08.200
[music] Heat.

00:31:18.560 --> 00:31:20.580

00:31:29.700 --> 00:31:31.720
[music]

00:31:36.080 --> 00:31:40.237
Amazing innovation,
amazing announcements. Every

00:31:40.320 --> 00:31:42.077
relationship in this room is a

00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:45.757
partnership. Together, we stop breaches.

00:31:45.840 --> 00:31:47.997
We're securing AI as a collective. You

00:31:48.080 --> 00:31:52.797
can see it in the hub where we have
over 150 sponsors here and partners that

00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:56.477
integrate with our technology. We
listen to your feedback every day as our

00:31:56.560 --> 00:31:59.197
trusted customers. And we innovate

00:31:59.280 --> 00:32:04.637
together to create where this market
is going and how we're going to protect it

00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:08.157
together. There's no
better voice to talk about

00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:12.877
where this market is going than
our own George Curts, founder and CEO of

00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:15.037
Crowdstrike. And it gives me great

00:32:15.120 --> 00:32:17.757
pleasure to also invite to the stage

00:32:17.840 --> 00:32:20.877
none other than Jensen Wong, the CEO and

00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:27.640
founder of Nvidia. Jensen,
George, come on out. Join us.

00:32:32.580 --> 00:32:34.600
[music]

00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:41.667
Have fun. >> Thank you.
>> Have fun. Thank you. Fall con.

00:32:41.750 --> 00:32:44.077
[laughter] >> All right. >> Wow.

00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:51.080
>> How great is this?
>> I >> I feel safer already.

00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:53.757
>> This is the safest
place on earth, George.

00:32:53.840 --> 00:32:57.997
>> It is. It is. And I said I I met you
in the green room in the green room and

00:32:58.080 --> 00:33:00.717
said, "One day I'm going to aspire to wear
the leather jacket. I'm gonna stick

00:33:00.800 --> 00:33:04.397
to plaid for now. But >> you
gotta you gotta work up your cool.

00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:07.837
>> I know. I know.
Not everyone can be as cool as you.

00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:09.517
>> All right. Well, again,

00:33:09.600 --> 00:33:12.237
>> this is the coolest
CEO, by the way. His

00:33:12.320 --> 00:33:15.067
office is in a Yeah.

00:33:15.150 --> 00:33:19.677
[applause and cheering] >>
Whose office is inside a hanger?

00:33:19.760 --> 00:33:22.957
>> You know, >> did I just tell
him something that nobody else knew?

00:33:23.040 --> 00:33:25.197
>> It's a struggle.
It's good. Yeah. We were

00:33:25.280 --> 00:33:29.757
>> He's a race car driver. We were we were
putting this stuff together and I I was

00:33:29.840 --> 00:33:33.437
on a Zoom call and and literally landed
got out and went to the office. And he

00:33:33.520 --> 00:33:35.837
goes, "What did you just do?" And I said,
"Well, I just landed and got out

00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:40.877
and went to my office." He goes,
"Who has that? You were jealous. You were

00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:42.077
jealous."

00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:45.117
>> I wasn't jealous. I thought it was

00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:49.997
I was going to use the sword. [laughter]
>> All right. So, let's get down.

00:33:50.080 --> 00:33:51.517
>> Okay. A little jealous.
A little jealous.

00:33:51.600 --> 00:33:54.397
>> Let Let's get down to it. Um, so look,

00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:56.877
you gave the world the technology to

00:33:56.960 --> 00:33:59.517
create AI and you're standing now in

00:33:59.600 --> 00:34:03.917
front of the cyber security stage. And
by the way, I remember when you gave the

00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:07.437
world the technology, I have an amazing
graphics card because when I was a kid,

00:34:07.520 --> 00:34:11.997
it was Nvidia graphics card that I had,
so I just have to be clear. But now AI

00:34:12.080 --> 00:34:14.317
is a theme. You're revolutionizing the

00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:17.677
world. What pulled you here? And why is

00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:23.597
security so important for you and Nvidia?
Yeah, I'm I'm just so happy I raised him.

00:34:23.680 --> 00:34:27.437
>> Yes. >> F the first question.
The first question

00:34:27.520 --> 00:34:31.437
you this the setup is when I
was a kid I use your products.

00:34:31.520 --> 00:34:36.157
>> Yes. >> Yeah. That Thanks. >> Okay.

00:34:36.240 --> 00:34:40.957
>> When I was a kid. Yeah.
When I was when I was eight.

00:34:41.040 --> 00:34:42.397
>> Yeah. I was a little older.

00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:47.357
>> Anyhow, we're we're in an inflection
point uh in uh in security. We're at an

00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:50.557
inflection point in cyber security
for obvious reasons. uh we have now had

00:34:50.640 --> 00:34:53.197
agent AI uh the ability to automate

00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:56.637
attacks and uh and the the attacks on on

00:34:56.720 --> 00:34:59.437
companies are going to uh going to uh

00:34:59.520 --> 00:35:03.277
grow exponentially. Um however at exact

00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:05.917
precisely the same time we also have in

00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:08.637
our hands uh the necessary technologies

00:35:08.720 --> 00:35:13.037
to automate to uh identify um uh cyber

00:35:13.120 --> 00:35:16.477
defense and you and I uh met recently

00:35:16.560 --> 00:35:20.877
and and recently as in several years
ago and we started to talk about what we

00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:23.197
could do together to bring the world's

00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:26.237
best AI technologies in service of cyber

00:35:26.320 --> 00:35:28.797
security defense instead of uh what

00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:30.957
everybody talks about which is uh using

00:35:31.040 --> 00:35:35.117
AI to exploit uh uh companies. We we're

00:35:35.200 --> 00:35:37.277
going to use AI to uh defend companies.

00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:41.517
And so this the the announcement that you
just made, Safe Mind, is just in it

00:35:41.600 --> 00:35:44.637
was a proud moment for me and it
was great to see it come together.

00:35:44.720 --> 00:35:47.277
Incredibly visionary uh product uh from

00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:50.717
CrowdStrike and you are my number one

00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:54.477
cyber security partner. My number one.

00:35:54.560 --> 00:35:57.560
Yep.

00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:00.957
my my number one cyber security

00:36:01.040 --> 00:36:03.597
provider. And so it was essential that

00:36:03.680 --> 00:36:06.957
that um uh that CrowdStrike has access

00:36:07.040 --> 00:36:11.117
to the best of NVIDIA and that we put
our best minds together uh to create

00:36:11.200 --> 00:36:15.037
something that could be helpful to me
um to to be helpful to the world. And I

00:36:15.120 --> 00:36:19.197
think, you know, this is really where I
I get encouraged because you hear about

00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:22.397
the defenders, sorry, you hear about
the attackers, you know, having the

00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:25.357
advantage and and having capabilities

00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:29.517
and defenders are a step behind. But the
thing that I love about security is that

00:36:29.600 --> 00:36:33.597
companies can come together in a
community to actually solve a problem.

00:36:33.680 --> 00:36:37.517
And you know, you and I were on the on
the call and and you know, you talked

00:36:37.600 --> 00:36:41.037
about this being so important to you and
you know, in a number of months, we got

00:36:41.120 --> 00:36:45.837
it done together with just tremendous
work from both teams and support and I

00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:49.437
think that's what makes the cyber
security cyber security community so

00:36:49.520 --> 00:36:52.077
special is that we can come together
and get stuff done like this. So

00:36:52.160 --> 00:36:54.797
>> but this is this is um uh goodwill

00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:58.397
community uh democratizing

00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:02.477
uh the technology uh the fundamental
technologies that are used by the

00:37:02.560 --> 00:37:04.957
attackers so that the defenders have

00:37:05.040 --> 00:37:10.317
access to the technology right >> um
that asymmetry is fundamentally what

00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:12.957
we count on >> right >> and so
you know most people don't

00:37:13.040 --> 00:37:17.357
realize the the the cyber community
cyber security community u working

00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:18.877
transparently working together

00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:24.397
cohesively that is the asymmetric
advantage the good guys have on the bad.

00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:27.997
>> Yeah. >> You know,
and so, right, and and that

00:37:28.080 --> 00:37:31.037
technology called community is something

00:37:31.120 --> 00:37:36.637
that most people underestimate >>
and and uh and and so we're case in

00:37:36.720 --> 00:37:39.037
point. I mean, obviously, we care
about the same thing. We care about the

00:37:39.120 --> 00:37:42.477
security of of the country. We care
about security of companies and nations

00:37:42.560 --> 00:37:45.197
and and um by working together

00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:47.837
transparently, uh you now are an AI

00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:50.157
company. You have a research lab. um our

00:37:50.240 --> 00:37:52.397
AI uh researchers love working with

00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:54.877
yours. Uh together with your domain

00:37:54.960 --> 00:37:57.837
expertise, your decade and a half of

00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:00.317
security data that we can train on, we

00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:02.397
can we can create Neotron, take a

00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:05.277
frontier model and make it essentially a

00:38:05.360 --> 00:38:08.077
super AGI that is incredibly good at

00:38:08.160 --> 00:38:10.477
cyber security. And then you put it into

00:38:10.560 --> 00:38:13.517
a system called safe mind with red

00:38:13.600 --> 00:38:16.397
teaming, blue teaming the two um

00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:19.757
adversarial adversarially y um uh

00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:24.237
working against each other
in a digital twin of Nvidia

00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:26.397
and uh testing it against that. I mean

00:38:26.480 --> 00:38:28.397
that's completely brilliant and and so

00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:31.677
now you have helped us uh create these

00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:34.637
rules that will run on Falcon and you're

00:38:34.720 --> 00:38:39.677
helping us uh automate sec ops and then
of course beyond that we're going to

00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:41.277
keep on working on it so that we become

00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:44.957
more and more autonomous in sec ops and

00:38:45.040 --> 00:38:47.197
so this is the first step. So this is a

00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:51.197
good segue then into uh open weight and

00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:53.597
open- source there's a difference models

00:38:53.680 --> 00:38:56.237
uh Neotron we worked with you using the

00:38:56.320 --> 00:39:00.637
Neotron models built uh by Nvidia and

00:39:00.720 --> 00:39:05.277
talk a little bit about your view
of the ecosystem right you've got Frontier

00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:09.117
you've got open source I talked a little
bit about choice you guys have an

00:39:09.200 --> 00:39:13.277
incredible model we're working with you
what's the vision for where Neotron is

00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:16.957
going and and how are we going
to continue to work with to you on the

00:39:17.040 --> 00:39:19.277
security side to help
advance its capabilities.

00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:23.757
>> George, you you are
the poster child of Neotron.

00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:28.077
I don't mean good-looking.
I mean just poster child.

00:39:28.160 --> 00:39:29.737
>> I see how this is going to go.

00:39:29.820 --> 00:39:31.117
[laughter] I see how this is going to go.

00:39:31.200 --> 00:39:31.997
>> You set it up.

00:39:32.080 --> 00:39:35.277
>> Okay. I called you.

00:39:35.360 --> 00:39:39.997
>> And so I crowdstrikes
is is I absolutely

00:39:40.080 --> 00:39:43.597
the poster child and the reason for that
is this. I believe in closed models and

00:39:43.680 --> 00:39:47.357
open models. We should use closed models
and proprietary models and off-the-shelf

00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:51.837
as much as you can. You know,
why build something unless you have to.

00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:54.877
>> Yeah. >> And however,
there are many applications

00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:58.237
in the world where you have to you must

00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:01.117
have the ability to

00:40:01.200 --> 00:40:04.077
fine-tune to post- train to in the

00:40:04.160 --> 00:40:07.277
context of safe mind um create an AI

00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:09.677
that is super good at a particular

00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:12.877
domain. We don't we don't need every AI

00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:17.277
to be uh super smart at everything,
but in some areas we need to be

00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:20.957
extraordinarily good at something and
cyber cyber defense is something we want

00:40:21.040 --> 00:40:24.157
to be incredibly good at.
And so Neimotron was really creative for

00:40:24.240 --> 00:40:26.957
precisely that to enable you enable

00:40:27.040 --> 00:40:29.117
CrowdStrike in partnership with us to

00:40:29.200 --> 00:40:31.917
create a super intelligence who is

00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:34.477
incredible at cyber defense. And it was

00:40:34.560 --> 00:40:37.037
also created in a way that is very

00:40:37.120 --> 00:40:39.197
cost-effective. is it it was designed to

00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:44.237
be both smart but also fast. And the
reason for that is because in many of

00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:45.597
the applications that we're interested

00:40:45.680 --> 00:40:49.677
in, we want that asymmetric advantage.

00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:53.357
And so now with Neimotron being cost-
effective, you guys deploy yourself.

00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:55.437
It's completely free. It's incredibly

00:40:55.520 --> 00:40:57.517
fast. You have the ability to have an

00:40:57.600 --> 00:41:00.717
asymmetric advantage against whatever

00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:04.797
comes your way. And so so I think that
that's the that was the the mission of

00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:09.117
Neotron to be at the frontier.
It doesn't have to be the frontier, but it

00:41:09.200 --> 00:41:13.037
has to be at the frontier. It has to be
completely customizable. It's completely

00:41:13.120 --> 00:41:17.757
transparent to you. Not only do we open
weight, but we also open the data, open

00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:21.677
all the training scripts. We also open
our research teams to work with you.

00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:23.837
We're working on Neotron 4 together,

00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:26.317
right? Neotron 4 will be even better for

00:41:26.400 --> 00:41:30.877
cyber security than Neotron 3. And we've
got this and then beyond that is Neotron

00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:35.197
5. And you know, Nvidia has enough
scale and expertise and and dedication to

00:41:35.280 --> 00:41:38.797
this. I can work on this for as long
as I shall live and and so we'll be able

00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:42.637
to, you know, as a partner
keep the world safe.

00:41:42.720 --> 00:41:46.637
>> Well, that that's a good segue to the
next question. So, because we're going

00:41:46.720 --> 00:41:50.637
to be doing this a long time in 5 years
when you come back on stage and we think

00:41:50.720 --> 00:41:52.877
about security, what are we going to be

00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:55.277
talking about that this audience hasn't

00:41:55.360 --> 00:41:57.757
even heard of, thought of, or dreamt of

00:41:57.840 --> 00:42:03.117
specific to AI and security? Well, in five
years when I'm back here, you still

00:42:03.200 --> 00:42:08.360
won't be cool enough
to wear a leather jacket, but

00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:12.797
you'll still be working
in a garage >> in a hanger.

00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:18.860
>> Slumbing slumbing away. >> Slumming
away in a garage >> and [laughter]

00:42:19.600 --> 00:42:23.117
that was the funniest. I'm trying
to have a I'm trying to have a serious

00:42:23.200 --> 00:42:26.397
conversation with George about Safe Mind.
I mean, it's basically the

00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:30.477
precursor of Safe Mind. And he goes he
and and we're on the phone. on video and

00:42:30.560 --> 00:42:33.917
it's literally like that part
of the movie where somebody's running and

00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:36.717
they're breathless going from
hallway to hallway up the stairs.

00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:38.877
>> Yeah, >> it was it was the wild.

00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:44.397
>> Well, I I had a a limited time with you
and I got delayed a bit and I took it on

00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:47.277
the plane and walked right in the office
so it all worked out right in the world.

00:42:47.360 --> 00:42:48.397
>> I wasn't going to move the meeting.

00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:50.957
Would you move the meeting? [laughter]

00:42:51.040 --> 00:42:54.157
And so in five years time uh and wait

00:42:54.240 --> 00:42:56.317
long before that you know the attack

00:42:56.400 --> 00:42:59.997
surface of a company is significant from

00:43:00.080 --> 00:43:03.517
the outside in.
And of course today we're going to

00:43:03.600 --> 00:43:06.397
automate sec ops. Um and we're going to

00:43:06.480 --> 00:43:09.277
help uh secops uh write the rules and

00:43:09.360 --> 00:43:12.877
and and inside this digital twin create

00:43:12.960 --> 00:43:16.477
uh with this with this mouse and cat um

00:43:16.560 --> 00:43:20.397
you know scheme going on. and we're
going to create the best rules to secure

00:43:20.480 --> 00:43:25.277
our company. Um, however,
over time that's going to become more

00:43:25.360 --> 00:43:28.797
and more autonomous and the reason
for that is because you know obviously we

00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:31.197
want to do we want to find these

00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:33.837
exploits and uh look for look for a

00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:38.637
patch uh within seconds but in the future
uh we want to we want to do that

00:43:38.720 --> 00:43:40.797
ideally as autonomously as possible all

00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:43.197
the time and so with human in the loop

00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:45.677
looking at looking at big decisions.

00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:50.477
However, the attack surface from inside
the company is incredible because today

00:43:50.560 --> 00:43:54.557
we have thousands of employees. We have
40,000 employees on our network with

00:43:54.640 --> 00:43:56.637
identity and access controls and they're

00:43:56.720 --> 00:43:58.397
using tools are accessing files and

00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:01.757
doing things, right? And so this 40,000

00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:04.797
employees uh will soon be augmented by

00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:09.757
several hundred,000 agents. and these
several hundred thousand agents uh we're

00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:14.397
going to be we work on this thing
called open shell that creates a secure

00:44:14.480 --> 00:44:18.397
container around them. Of course, we're
going to try to containerize them and

00:44:18.480 --> 00:44:19.997
keep them as secure as possible.

00:44:20.080 --> 00:44:21.917
However, uh they're going to have more

00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:24.477
and more access control and use more

00:44:24.560 --> 00:44:27.517
tools and right so on so forth. And so

00:44:27.600 --> 00:44:30.157
inside the company, we have zero trust

00:44:30.240 --> 00:44:32.477
policies today and and technologies from

00:44:32.560 --> 00:44:37.757
Crowd Strike to to to to uh maintain
a zero trust environment. But in the

00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:41.917
future, we're going to have to maintain
a zero trust agentic environment. And so

00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:46.317
how are we going to how are we going
to monitor and and um uh secure all of

00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:51.197
these agents all working on on our behalf?
um keeping keeping the the the

00:44:51.280 --> 00:44:53.997
company safe, keeping the company secure,
and making sure that they don't

00:44:54.080 --> 00:44:58.797
have any any uh exploits that we don't
want them to to do. And so all of that

00:44:58.880 --> 00:45:02.397
inside the company, we're going to have
a lot of computing work to do. And so I

00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:04.797
I think this is uh we got together

00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:08.317
because because uh your expertise in

00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:11.837
cyber security, our expertise in uh AI

00:45:11.920 --> 00:45:14.077
and computing uh really has to come

00:45:14.160 --> 00:45:17.277
together. This is the next giant

00:45:17.360 --> 00:45:19.597
computing frontier. We're going to be

00:45:19.680 --> 00:45:22.637
computing all the time. And so the first

00:45:22.720 --> 00:45:25.677
kill the first application if you will

00:45:25.760 --> 00:45:30.157
uh is uh coding agents. Um and now uh

00:45:30.240 --> 00:45:32.557
safe mine will be the second uh

00:45:32.640 --> 00:45:36.077
incredible uh agent security cyber cyber

00:45:36.160 --> 00:45:39.917
agents. And so yeah, I think we're going
to see a lot of advances in this area.

00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:42.557
Very very exciting work
and of course very important work.

00:45:42.640 --> 00:45:46.477
>> Amazing. Amazing. Um, so when you think

00:45:46.560 --> 00:45:50.477
about what we've built, maybe a couple
of comments. You know, I think when you

00:45:50.560 --> 00:45:55.117
and I got together, it was really
focused on the need for defenders, and I

00:45:55.200 --> 00:45:59.517
talked about that in my keynote. The fact
that they were outgone, outmatched.

00:45:59.600 --> 00:46:04.797
Um, when you think about the defender
and and maybe you can comment on

00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:07.037
>> Did you just say therefore
you brought the big guns?

00:46:07.120 --> 00:46:09.917
>> I brought the big guns.
>> I I'm just I had to put that in there.

00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:13.037
It was such a good >> I brought
the Did I bring the big gun?

00:46:13.120 --> 00:46:17.917
Did he say Did he really
get any bigger than this?

00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:19.917
>> Did he say that Jensen has big guns?

00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:23.047
>> You do have big guns.
>> Should we take the jackets off?

00:46:23.130 --> 00:46:25.150
[laughter]

00:46:26.080 --> 00:46:29.917
>> So, but I I do think that it's
an inflection point for for both of us

00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:32.077
because there is a recognition by again

00:46:32.160 --> 00:46:34.877
the industry customers of what AI can do

00:46:34.960 --> 00:46:39.357
and more importantly as you talked about
choice, right? It's all about choice and

00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:43.597
the models you use, where you want your
data, how you use it. And I think the,

00:46:43.680 --> 00:46:47.597
you know, you and I talked a little bit
about this is the the application layer,

00:46:47.680 --> 00:46:51.597
this harness becomes really important
because the models at some point they're

00:46:51.680 --> 00:46:54.397
all pretty good, right? And they keep
getting better and you know whose model

00:46:54.480 --> 00:46:58.077
is better one day versus the others. But
with the right training data, the right

00:46:58.160 --> 00:47:00.717
harness and being very specific, you can

00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:05.517
get great outcomes. Do do you see?
So we're focused on a very specific use

00:47:05.600 --> 00:47:09.277
case. As I said, you know, we don't want
to solve all all problems in the world.

00:47:09.360 --> 00:47:12.397
We want to solve the hardest security
problems. Do you see that trend

00:47:12.480 --> 00:47:15.917
happening now in in other industries
where you have this verticalization of

00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:19.517
these models? And like I just curious
for the audience how they should be

00:47:19.600 --> 00:47:22.317
thinking about even for their own
businesses outside of security.

00:47:22.400 --> 00:47:25.757
>> Well, we should use we should use
the smartest general intelligence wherever

00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:27.997
we can and for a lot of different works

00:47:28.080 --> 00:47:31.517
um uh use cases. I think just a a super

00:47:31.600 --> 00:47:34.397
smart general intelligent AI um can

00:47:34.480 --> 00:47:38.877
reason through a problem
and and become good at it. However,

00:47:38.960 --> 00:47:40.957
>> for for tasks that are highly

00:47:41.040 --> 00:47:45.357
specialized um and and it's quite uh

00:47:45.440 --> 00:47:49.197
intensive meaning it's a specialized
work that you have to do all the time.

00:47:49.280 --> 00:47:53.277
For example, cyber security >>
it's hyper hyper specialized. You're

00:47:53.360 --> 00:47:55.997
doing it continuously. This is an area

00:47:56.080 --> 00:47:59.117
where if you had the necessary data and

00:47:59.200 --> 00:48:03.757
you say harness, harness is essentially
the exoskeleton, if you will, of the

00:48:03.840 --> 00:48:07.277
large language model. The large language
model is the brain. The exoskeleton

00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:11.437
turns it into an agent.
>> And so this exoskeleton doesn't have to

00:48:11.520 --> 00:48:15.597
be the same shape and the same
capability for every single domain and

00:48:15.680 --> 00:48:19.117
every single application. You know, some
of the exoskeletons could have wheels,

00:48:19.200 --> 00:48:23.197
some of the exoskeletons have legs,
and so on so forth. And so these these

00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:25.277
different capabilities really want to be

00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:28.477
domain specific, taskspecific. And so I

00:48:28.560 --> 00:48:32.557
see a lot of different industries um
that are going to have, you know, more

00:48:32.640 --> 00:48:34.957
and more of these type of application

00:48:35.040 --> 00:48:37.837
specific, domain specific, highly

00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:41.437
specialized, super capable harnesses

00:48:41.520 --> 00:48:46.317
that in combination with a fine-tuned
model that sits inside it is really

00:48:46.400 --> 00:48:49.997
becomes super intelligence. Yeah. And so
I I think you and I see it see it the

00:48:50.080 --> 00:48:52.237
same way. And I think a safe mind is

00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:57.437
really this the one of the world's first
um and it was designed for one of the

00:48:57.520 --> 00:49:00.557
most important applications cyber
security. So I'm super excited to see

00:49:00.640 --> 00:49:04.557
that. >> Yeah. Amazing. So uh we're going
to we're going to talk about a few topics

00:49:04.640 --> 00:49:06.877
here and uh you and I spoke a little bit

00:49:06.960 --> 00:49:11.837
about robotics and digital twins and
and and things of that nature. Uh when we

00:49:11.920 --> 00:49:13.597
think about the physical world,

00:49:13.680 --> 00:49:18.957
obviously there's compute, there's AI,
there's just, you know, an amazing

00:49:19.040 --> 00:49:23.357
amount of technology that goes into
these robots. Uh you know, you you may

00:49:23.440 --> 00:49:27.117
have seen the robot Olympics a couple
weeks ago. There was running faster than

00:49:27.200 --> 00:49:28.717
the same bolt and slamming in the walls.

00:49:28.800 --> 00:49:32.797
I mean, it's hysterical. They come out
with the sweat the stretchers. But um to

00:49:32.880 --> 00:49:34.237
me, they're all going to need security.

00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:36.557
How should we think in in our industry?

00:49:36.640 --> 00:49:41.037
What opportunity does that present when
we just think about all the physical AI

00:49:41.120 --> 00:49:44.637
that's going to take place in the form
of robots and other sort of automation?

00:49:44.720 --> 00:49:46.557
>> We need Safe Mind everywhere. I mean,

00:49:46.640 --> 00:49:48.877
and so we we need it in every single

00:49:48.960 --> 00:49:52.157
layer of the computing stack. Um, we

00:49:52.240 --> 00:49:54.397
need it obviously inside our companies.

00:49:54.480 --> 00:49:57.357
We need it in the cloud. We we're going
to need it at the edge. We're going to

00:49:57.440 --> 00:49:59.677
need it at the distributed edge. Um I

00:49:59.760 --> 00:50:02.397
think that the the the basic framework

00:50:02.480 --> 00:50:05.117
of safe mind which is an adversarial

00:50:05.200 --> 00:50:10.077
model which is um uh uh acting on a

00:50:10.160 --> 00:50:14.157
digital twin of the environment with a

00:50:14.240 --> 00:50:17.437
uh with a um a defender model uh trying

00:50:17.520 --> 00:50:21.517
to figure out how to uh
cat-and- mouse's thing

00:50:21.600 --> 00:50:24.157
>> um uh eventually learning learning how

00:50:24.240 --> 00:50:26.797
to secure itself within the domain

00:50:26.880 --> 00:50:28.957
within that domain of the digital twin.

00:50:29.040 --> 00:50:31.997
Um this basic framework applies to

00:50:32.080 --> 00:50:34.877
robotics, edge computing, enterprise

00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:37.037
computing and and just about everything.

00:50:37.120 --> 00:50:39.837
And so the fact that that uh CrowdStrike

00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:43.917
has sensors all over Nvidia and we have

00:50:44.000 --> 00:50:46.157
we now you have you have the ability to

00:50:46.240 --> 00:50:49.117
replicate the NVIDIA IT system as a

00:50:49.200 --> 00:50:53.197
digital twin. Uh that's an incredible
capability. Now that you can replicate

00:50:53.280 --> 00:50:57.437
the digital twin, uh we can create
uh the the adversarial and the and the

00:50:57.520 --> 00:50:59.677
defender systems to uh defend itself.

00:50:59.760 --> 00:51:01.997
And so so I think I think this basic

00:51:02.080 --> 00:51:04.477
idea replicates in just about every

00:51:04.560 --> 00:51:07.277
different domain. And so so whether it's

00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:11.917
a factory um you want to keep factories
safe and secure. Uh whether it's a

00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:16.157
robot, the robot itself has to be safe
and secure. Um in every single one of

00:51:16.240 --> 00:51:19.837
these systems uh we could create
something like SafeMine. we could use

00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:22.157
the safe my framework and create

00:51:22.240 --> 00:51:24.637
essentially a cyber security agent that

00:51:24.720 --> 00:51:27.757
runs alongside the AI model itself.

00:51:27.840 --> 00:51:30.957
>> Okay. So when whenever I come visit you

00:51:31.040 --> 00:51:33.757
it's like the professor sits down and

00:51:33.840 --> 00:51:36.557
and gives the lesson right and you talk

00:51:36.640 --> 00:51:38.477
shop and you always give us something to

00:51:38.560 --> 00:51:40.877
think about. So, in the last minute or

00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:44.717
two here, as security practitioners, as

00:51:44.800 --> 00:51:48.237
as folks who are helping to to drive
the industry, but also folks who are

00:51:48.320 --> 00:51:50.797
consuming products, what should we be

00:51:50.880 --> 00:51:55.277
thinking about now? What problem should
we be solving now that we're we're not

00:51:55.360 --> 00:51:58.797
thinking about? >> Well,
the first thing that that we need

00:51:58.880 --> 00:52:02.157
all of you to do is to calm the world.

00:52:02.240 --> 00:52:05.517
And I think that calming the world, what
I mean by that is of course we should we

00:52:05.600 --> 00:52:09.837
shouldn't take AI uh we should take
AI seriously. the technology is is very

00:52:09.920 --> 00:52:12.157
capable. Um it has the capability to do

00:52:12.240 --> 00:52:17.037
incredible good. It has the capability
to do harm. Um but we also need to know

00:52:17.120 --> 00:52:18.557
the world needs to know that there's

00:52:18.640 --> 00:52:21.357
this entire community out here who cares

00:52:21.440 --> 00:52:24.637
about securing the world um uh in the

00:52:24.720 --> 00:52:28.957
age of AI. And we all all of you need to

00:52:29.040 --> 00:52:31.837
speak up. It can't just be people who

00:52:31.920 --> 00:52:36.237
are trying to scare the world about
about AI. It has to be people who are

00:52:36.320 --> 00:52:40.717
also saying listen uh we are armed
by the same technology. Uh we have the we

00:52:40.800 --> 00:52:44.477
have asymmetric advantages because we
have a large community of cyber security

00:52:44.560 --> 00:52:48.477
experts and community that wants to work
with each other and keep the world safe.

00:52:48.560 --> 00:52:51.437
We have the technology, we have the might,
we have the capability to do so.

00:52:51.520 --> 00:52:55.197
We have the will to do so. and and that

00:52:55.280 --> 00:52:58.237
that voice needs to counterbalance uh

00:52:58.320 --> 00:53:00.637
some of the voices that that are are are

00:53:00.720 --> 00:53:03.517
doomerism and and trying to scare people

00:53:03.600 --> 00:53:07.117
uh that that frankly uh is too extreme.

00:53:07.200 --> 00:53:11.277
And so I I think partly we all have
to speak up and help people understand the

00:53:11.360 --> 00:53:15.037
technology that we're creating.
Now secondarily uh you know just remember

00:53:15.120 --> 00:53:18.957
that that um this is a this
is a battle that never ends.

00:53:19.040 --> 00:53:21.597
>> Never ends. >> Yeah.
This is a contest that's never

00:53:21.680 --> 00:53:25.757
going to end. This is the beginning
of a new age of cyber security. On the one

00:53:25.840 --> 00:53:30.797
hand, the adversaries are going to be um
more armed than ever. On the other hand,

00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:34.397
uh all of you are going to be more armed
than ever. And George George is going to

00:53:34.480 --> 00:53:37.357
make sure that that's true. And he's uh

00:53:37.440 --> 00:53:39.037
building safe mine for us and we're

00:53:39.120 --> 00:53:42.397
using it. And and uh and as you know, uh

00:53:42.480 --> 00:53:47.137
I've got big guns.
>> He's got big guns. All right. Well,

00:53:47.220 --> 00:53:49.437
[laughter] >> I mean,
you got to end with that.

00:53:49.520 --> 00:53:52.797
>> I'm going to end with that because it's
hard to beat his guns. this jacket. Um,

00:53:52.880 --> 00:53:54.477
I am a little bit younger, but we won't

00:53:54.560 --> 00:53:57.437
uh we won't mention that. Um, in any

00:53:57.520 --> 00:54:01.437
event, I couldn't be prouder to have you

00:54:01.520 --> 00:54:05.757
in partnership with Crowd Strike. Um,
it's just been an amazing journey. So, I

00:54:05.840 --> 00:54:09.277
want to personally thank you. I want
to personally thank your team for working

00:54:09.360 --> 00:54:11.517
with us. And we're going to come back.

00:54:11.600 --> 00:54:15.197
We're going to share the results that we
get back from the field. And we're going

00:54:15.280 --> 00:54:18.877
to continue to iterate. But the point
that you made, I think, is very valid.

00:54:18.960 --> 00:54:21.277
the crowd in the crowd strike is the

00:54:21.360 --> 00:54:24.397
asymmetry which puts the defenders in

00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:26.637
the unique position to defeat the

00:54:26.720 --> 00:54:28.877
adversary. So with that, a massive round

00:54:28.960 --> 00:54:34.440
of applause for our guest Genty [applause]

00:54:35.520 --> 00:54:41.560
Defenders. Thank you. Thank you so much.

00:55:09.280 --> 00:55:12.717
Okay, so now we move on. What a great

00:55:12.800 --> 00:55:16.717
little chat that was. So many nuggets
there. So much wisdom. Now we move on to

00:55:16.800 --> 00:55:19.197
a whole another layer of the AI stack.

00:55:19.280 --> 00:55:22.077
There's a theme here. We started at the
foundational level. We're working our

00:55:22.160 --> 00:55:24.717
way back to the user. Next, it gives me

00:55:24.800 --> 00:55:26.397
great pleasure to invite to the stage to

00:55:26.480 --> 00:55:32.440
join us Lipu Tan, CEO of Intel. Lipu.

00:55:43.920 --> 00:55:47.037
Hi Josh. How are you? Good to see you.

00:55:47.120 --> 00:55:51.240
Thank you so much for joining us.

00:55:51.840 --> 00:55:55.757
>> Okay, so a great
conversation here. We're

00:55:55.840 --> 00:55:59.757
going to start with you. Uh you came
back to Intel and have really rebuilt

00:55:59.840 --> 00:56:03.837
the company. It's fantastic around
engineering, around execution, new

00:56:03.920 --> 00:56:08.477
silicon, new architecture. It's a whole
different intel for the security leaders

00:56:08.560 --> 00:56:12.077
in the room. What should they know
about where you're taking the company and

00:56:12.160 --> 00:56:15.277
maybe you can tell us
the secret to your success?

00:56:15.360 --> 00:56:17.437
>> First of all, delighted to be here.

00:56:17.520 --> 00:56:18.957
>> Thank you. >> Thank you for inviting.

00:56:19.040 --> 00:56:22.237
>> Of course. And uh so I tried to rebuild

00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:25.037
the I call it the new Intel and uh going

00:56:25.120 --> 00:56:28.317
forward and uh we listen to customer

00:56:28.400 --> 00:56:31.197
very closely and uh we change the

00:56:31.280 --> 00:56:34.237
culture of uh listen carefully with the

00:56:34.320 --> 00:56:36.717
customer and it's a very unique

00:56:36.800 --> 00:56:39.597
situation that we can really the only

00:56:39.680 --> 00:56:42.237
company they able to do design good

00:56:42.320 --> 00:56:44.877
products and also packaging and

00:56:44.960 --> 00:56:48.157
manufacturing across full stack and then

00:56:48.240 --> 00:56:51.277
focus on agentic AI and then from you

00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:54.077
know from PC client all the way to the

00:56:54.160 --> 00:56:56.957
edge and also physical AI and we try to

00:56:57.040 --> 00:56:59.357
take a leadership in that and so I think

00:56:59.440 --> 00:57:01.677
overall I think it's super exciting for

00:57:01.760 --> 00:57:04.877
me to enable the customer and then able

00:57:04.960 --> 00:57:07.837
to deploy AI from cloud to the edge and

00:57:07.920 --> 00:57:12.397
to the end products. >> A lot
of the future today and tomorrow

00:57:12.480 --> 00:57:16.717
runs on Intel silicon and you're
securing more of it natively at the

00:57:16.800 --> 00:57:21.437
hardware layer. What's changed in how
Intel builds security into the chip and

00:57:21.520 --> 00:57:23.517
why does that matter as AI moves

00:57:23.600 --> 00:57:25.997
everywhere? I think it's very important

00:57:26.080 --> 00:57:28.717
security start with the silicon and uh

00:57:28.800 --> 00:57:31.437
then we create that strong foundation

00:57:31.520 --> 00:57:34.397
for OS security software and all the way

00:57:34.480 --> 00:57:37.597
to the device AI device and crowdstrike

00:57:37.680 --> 00:57:39.917
extend that capability through Falcon

00:57:40.000 --> 00:57:42.477
platform and uh so there's something

00:57:42.560 --> 00:57:44.957
very exciting for us and we can really

00:57:45.040 --> 00:57:48.397
deliver efficient compute for AI at the

00:57:48.480 --> 00:57:51.197
edge and then we have about 400 software

00:57:51.280 --> 00:57:54.237
engineer focus on security and we do all

00:57:54.320 --> 00:57:56.717
the hacking try to figure out all the

00:57:56.800 --> 00:58:01.597
changes as you know is never end. So we
have to continue working on that and to

00:58:01.680 --> 00:58:06.157
provide that whole confidential
computing and protect the data and then

00:58:06.240 --> 00:58:11.197
make sure that is secure and less
complex and also invisible to the c end

00:58:11.280 --> 00:58:15.037
user. >> George building
on that crowd strike we

00:58:15.120 --> 00:58:19.517
secure AI everywhere it lives from the
device to cloud to data to identities

00:58:19.600 --> 00:58:23.197
and so on and so forth. What does it
mean for us when we work together with

00:58:23.280 --> 00:58:26.797
Intel and why does this partnership
matter to everyone in the room?

00:58:26.880 --> 00:58:28.237
>> Well, I think it Well, first thank you.

00:58:28.320 --> 00:58:29.997
I've known Lipu for a long time and he

00:58:30.080 --> 00:58:35.277
he is one of the best in uh
in the industry and technology and uh I

00:58:35.360 --> 00:58:39.277
couldn't be happier happier to have
you here and partnering with you. So, um

00:58:39.360 --> 00:58:43.277
when we think about the silicon itself,
obviously there's tremendous security

00:58:43.360 --> 00:58:46.557
capabilities and I I learned this way
back when when I when I spent a little

00:58:46.640 --> 00:58:51.197
bit of time at Intel after the Mac Miy
acquisition. Um, but there's there's

00:58:51.280 --> 00:58:54.957
probably a lot more in security in your
chips than people realize. And I think

00:58:55.040 --> 00:58:59.117
part of it is telling the story of how
this can be used. But if you don't have

00:58:59.200 --> 00:59:02.397
the right way to activate, if you if
the tech the software is not taking

00:59:02.480 --> 00:59:06.317
advantage of it of the operating system,
um, then it's not as effective for

00:59:06.400 --> 00:59:07.757
customers. So part of what we want to be

00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:10.797
able to do is to go deep inside with

00:59:10.880 --> 00:59:13.997
Intel into those very specific features

00:59:14.080 --> 00:59:18.157
that help us protect memory or read
memory, understand what's happening or

00:59:18.240 --> 00:59:21.357
create a root of trust for when
the system boots, right? These are very

00:59:21.440 --> 00:59:23.837
important protected enclaves, right?

00:59:23.920 --> 00:59:26.877
Where things can run and not be modified.
And when we think about what

00:59:26.960 --> 00:59:30.877
happens today, I mean, with enough
time and effort of, you know, running

00:59:30.960 --> 00:59:35.357
advanced models against
operating systems or applications,

00:59:35.440 --> 00:59:39.037
you know, you're going to need something
to ensure that you've got that root of

00:59:39.120 --> 00:59:43.197
trust all the way through your security
stack. And I think we've done a very

00:59:43.280 --> 00:59:47.117
good job in partnership with with Intel
to be able to say, what are the features

00:59:47.200 --> 00:59:51.677
we can use? There's a lot more uh
that you have again that I that I say like

00:59:51.760 --> 00:59:55.357
the whole world should know because it's
some amazing security technology and how

00:59:55.440 --> 01:00:00.077
do we activate that in a way that's best
for our customer that provides them the

01:00:00.160 --> 01:00:04.317
best performance and the best protection
while leveraging what's natively built

01:00:04.400 --> 01:00:09.037
into these chips. Building
as close to the silicon is

01:00:09.120 --> 01:00:12.397
super important for us and I think
really differentiates CrowdStrike. We

01:00:12.480 --> 01:00:15.117
recently did some work with NPUs. Uh

01:00:15.200 --> 01:00:19.677
George, where do you see the role of
security going with hardware vendors and

01:00:19.760 --> 01:00:22.957
how do we make the world
a safer place together?

01:00:23.040 --> 01:00:26.957
>> Well, again, I think just hardware
in general, how do you leverage an MPU, a

01:00:27.040 --> 01:00:29.277
GPU? What's you know, the CPU?

01:00:29.360 --> 01:00:32.637
Obviously, there's multiple cores, right?
How do you become more efficient?

01:00:32.720 --> 01:00:37.117
Um, you know, no one ever said, I want
my computer to be slower, right? Which

01:00:37.200 --> 01:00:39.277
one of the reasons we started
CrowdStrike when I was sitting on the

01:00:39.360 --> 01:00:42.077
airplane and things were booting and it
took 15 minutes. Like, we wanted to

01:00:42.160 --> 01:00:46.157
change that paradigm. So what can we
offload to the chip? How do we leverage

01:00:46.240 --> 01:00:49.997
what's there? And I think just as an
industry period, you know, CrowdStrike

01:00:50.080 --> 01:00:54.397
and everyone else, there's a lot more
that the security industry can do to

01:00:54.480 --> 01:00:58.077
make the best experience for the user
to even if you're not a user, if it's

01:00:58.160 --> 01:01:01.757
running in the cloud, use what's there
in a way that it gives you the best

01:01:01.840 --> 01:01:05.357
performance with the best security
outcomes of stopping the breach.

01:01:05.440 --> 01:01:07.837
>> Well said, Leoo.
You know, Intel doesn't

01:01:07.920 --> 01:01:09.837
build alone, doesn't build in a vacuum.

01:01:09.920 --> 01:01:14.397
You work with great partners like Dell
who we have in common where we build

01:01:14.480 --> 01:01:17.677
where we we do a lot of security on on
devices and go to market together. You

01:01:17.760 --> 01:01:21.437
work with Crowdstrike um hardware
and firmware really coming together as a

01:01:21.520 --> 01:01:23.757
stack. Why is that integrated approach

01:01:23.840 --> 01:01:28.957
matter more to you now than ever for Intel
of today for your customers in the

01:01:29.040 --> 01:01:31.917
future? >> Yeah, I think
it's very important that

01:01:32.000 --> 01:01:36.637
customer do not want to have
disconnected uh tools. So hardware

01:01:36.720 --> 01:01:38.877
firmware security platform should work

01:01:38.960 --> 01:01:42.637
together in one and Intel and Dell our

01:01:42.720 --> 01:01:45.277
big partner and with you and we can

01:01:45.360 --> 01:01:47.997
build a security on the PC uh from the

01:01:48.080 --> 01:01:51.437
start and then uh you have almost 400 uh

01:01:51.520 --> 01:01:55.677
endpoints and it's very important
to have that endpoint detection and

01:01:55.760 --> 01:01:58.237
response through the you know platform

01:01:58.320 --> 01:02:01.117
Falcon platform to really drive that end

01:02:01.200 --> 01:02:04.557
toend security to protect the data and

01:02:04.640 --> 01:02:06.717
in especially with all the you know

01:02:06.800 --> 01:02:09.517
you're talking about 1,200 agents and

01:02:09.600 --> 01:02:14.157
growing and then how do we protect
that and then make sure that this data is

01:02:14.240 --> 01:02:17.597
secure on the device.
>> Last one here and I'm going to ask both

01:02:17.680 --> 01:02:20.317
both of you. Uh the agent era is

01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:22.477
definitely here. I mean we see it we're

01:02:22.560 --> 01:02:25.037
using it in all of our companies as AI

01:02:25.120 --> 01:02:27.837
agents start doing the real work Intel

01:02:27.920 --> 01:02:32.237
and Crowdstrike are doubling down on
the security layer together. What should

01:02:32.320 --> 01:02:36.237
this room be thinking about about where
we are and where we're going next into

01:02:36.320 --> 01:02:39.837
the future? >> I think
agent is driving real

01:02:39.920 --> 01:02:42.637
productivity and uh so I think it's

01:02:42.720 --> 01:02:46.157
important to raise the stack and then uh

01:02:46.240 --> 01:02:48.797
and then customer need more control of

01:02:48.880 --> 01:02:51.677
what the agent access and also decide

01:02:51.760 --> 01:02:54.717
and do. So Intel and crowd strike

01:02:54.800 --> 01:02:58.477
exploring hardway enable uh guardrails

01:02:58.560 --> 01:03:00.717
uh make sure the technology move quickly

01:03:00.800 --> 01:03:03.357
and but no one really you know have any

01:03:03.440 --> 01:03:08.157
risk of you know in term of cyber
security attack and then that's

01:03:08.240 --> 01:03:12.557
something that we're going to work
together to drive that. George, your

01:03:12.640 --> 01:03:14.717
thoughts? >> Well,
I think when when you look at

01:03:14.800 --> 01:03:19.757
agents and its capabilities, uh, and I
I had this conversation with with a bunch

01:03:19.840 --> 01:03:22.717
of folks over the last couple weeks,
it's like if you look what where we were

01:03:22.800 --> 01:03:27.197
in January to where we are today, the
the landscape has changed dramatically,

01:03:27.280 --> 01:03:30.477
right? And the capabilities
of the models, Frontier models and the

01:03:30.560 --> 01:03:31.997
harnesses and what you can actually do.

01:03:32.080 --> 01:03:37.197
You actually can get work done. Um,
and it's incredibly powerful. So, I think

01:03:37.280 --> 01:03:40.157
when you look at there's kind of two
pieces. When you look at protecting

01:03:40.240 --> 01:03:43.437
these agents, you want to be able
to instrument, you know, all the way from

01:03:43.520 --> 01:03:47.117
the chip all the way up to the agent
itself through the operating system. And

01:03:47.200 --> 01:03:51.757
you also again want to make it very
performant. If on average and they say,

01:03:51.840 --> 01:03:56.317
you know, stats are that each person
will have 90 agents that they sort of

01:03:56.400 --> 01:03:59.997
control. You know, a lot of these things
are going to run on the the endpoints,

01:04:00.080 --> 01:04:03.997
the desktops, right? Or they they could
run in a cloud container, but at the end

01:04:04.080 --> 01:04:06.877
of the day, there's going to be a lot
of them. and you want to make sure that

01:04:06.960 --> 01:04:11.037
it's performant and you get the best
outcomes at the lowest cost. So, I

01:04:11.120 --> 01:04:12.797
think, you know, again, taking advantage

01:04:12.880 --> 01:04:18.237
for what's in the chip, making it the best
we can do for our customers, um, is

01:04:18.320 --> 01:04:21.117
going to be the right outcome. And there
there's more. We're working together at

01:04:21.200 --> 01:04:25.357
the R&D level to say, hey, what do
we need for the next versions of these

01:04:25.440 --> 01:04:28.877
chips, right? And and these chips,
you know, it takes a while to to actually

01:04:28.960 --> 01:04:31.997
get them to market. You know, that it's
not like software. There's a a broader

01:04:32.080 --> 01:04:35.757
lead time. So, we want to be working
with you directly and we are on the

01:04:35.840 --> 01:04:39.197
things that we see and we need
and that's part of our design partnership

01:04:39.280 --> 01:04:41.197
and and I think that's
great for the industry.

01:04:41.280 --> 01:04:44.957
>> Yeah. I think the big takeaway is the
closer we are together, the better the

01:04:45.040 --> 01:04:49.037
experience is for everybody out here and
the harder we make it for adversaries to

01:04:49.120 --> 01:04:52.717
do their work. We need to make people
productive. We need to make them secure

01:04:52.800 --> 01:04:56.797
and that happens when we work together
at the hardware and software level. We

01:04:56.880 --> 01:05:00.157
really appreciate the partnership. Any
final thought, George, before we call it

01:05:00.240 --> 01:05:05.437
a day here? No, I think um again what
we wanted to be able to express is we've

01:05:05.520 --> 01:05:09.037
got the great partners. We're working
with them and to realize and this is

01:05:09.120 --> 01:05:13.677
really important for me is that it's an
ecosystem that solves problems. It's the

01:05:13.760 --> 01:05:17.517
crowd and the crowd strike and it's not
just our customers but it's our partners

01:05:17.600 --> 01:05:21.517
and our partners help make us better
and ultimately we want to have the best

01:05:21.600 --> 01:05:24.717
technologies and the best outcome
for our customers and we couldn't do it

01:05:24.800 --> 01:05:27.997
without folks like Intel.
>> Thank you >> Lipu. Thank you so much.

01:05:28.080 --> 01:05:32.317
>> And we don't have to change to leather
jacket, right? No, no, no. We're not

01:05:32.400 --> 01:05:37.757
that cool yet, you know. I aspire one
day, but uh anyway, thank you so much.

01:05:37.840 --> 01:05:40.477
>> Awesome. >> Amazing.
Big round of applause for Lip

01:05:40.560 --> 01:05:45.000
Boo. >> Thank you.

01:05:52.000 --> 01:05:55.997
>> Yeah, I know. Okay.
So now we take AI to

01:05:56.080 --> 01:05:57.997
the end user where many of you first

01:05:58.080 --> 01:06:01.677
started using your AI started using and

01:06:01.760 --> 01:06:03.437
hearing of a company called OpenAI.

01:06:03.520 --> 01:06:05.437
We're so happy to have with us here

01:06:05.520 --> 01:06:08.317
co-founder of OpenAI none other than

01:06:08.400 --> 01:06:13.400
Greg. Welcome Greg Brockman.

01:06:20.000 --> 01:06:23.037
>> Greg, how are you doing?
Great. Thank you for having me.

01:06:23.120 --> 01:06:24.637
>> All right, good to see everyone here.

01:06:24.720 --> 01:06:28.157
>> Thanks for coming in.
>> We're going to jump right on in.

01:06:28.240 --> 01:06:29.757
>> This is the star-studded lineup.

01:06:29.840 --> 01:06:32.477
>> There we go.
Another leather jacket, >> of course.

01:06:32.560 --> 01:06:34.397
>> Okay. I mean,
>> I can't get by without it.

01:06:34.480 --> 01:06:37.117
>> If you're if you're running, you know,
Open AI, you can wear a leather jacket,

01:06:37.200 --> 01:06:39.197
too. >> There you go.

01:06:39.280 --> 01:06:44.397
>> Greg, it's great to have you here here
as a a customer, a partner, a sponsor,

01:06:44.480 --> 01:06:47.597
all the things.
>> What does OpenAI and Crowd Strike

01:06:47.680 --> 01:06:50.237
working together look like to you? Well,

01:06:50.320 --> 01:06:52.397
I think we are at a moment of

01:06:52.480 --> 01:06:55.597
transformation in cyber security. And I

01:06:55.680 --> 01:06:58.637
think that you need the best of the

01:06:58.720 --> 01:07:03.277
models, right? The best of these sort
of new non-deterministic systems that are

01:07:03.360 --> 01:07:07.117
able to go and solve problems in new ways.
And you need the best of

01:07:07.200 --> 01:07:09.517
deterministic controls, right? Of having

01:07:09.600 --> 01:07:15.037
trusted systems that give you good
observability control uh for admins. And

01:07:15.120 --> 01:07:18.157
you need to bring all of this together
as one. And so working together with

01:07:18.240 --> 01:07:19.757
Crowd Strike, we believe that we can

01:07:19.840 --> 01:07:22.797
take the sort of best times the best and

01:07:22.880 --> 01:07:27.757
get to security for customers
and get to a much more secure world.

01:07:27.840 --> 01:07:29.437
>> Makes sense. You know, cyber is

01:07:29.520 --> 01:07:34.877
certainly become a major focus
for in the world of AI in general. And I'm

01:07:34.960 --> 01:07:38.157
curious if you can talk about your
perspectives, especially over the last

01:07:38.240 --> 01:07:42.077
few months as you've walked deeper into
the hallways of cyber than maybe you had

01:07:42.160 --> 01:07:46.237
in years past. Well, first of all,
I do come from a uh a bit of a security

01:07:46.320 --> 01:07:50.077
background. So, I was saying to George
earlier, I I was a longtime Defvcon

01:07:50.160 --> 01:07:54.237
attendee and uh at at Stripe, I did
a lot of security focused work and so it's

01:07:54.320 --> 01:07:57.037
very near and dear to my heart to kind
of come back and really focus on this

01:07:57.120 --> 01:08:00.797
area in a real way. Um but I think right
now we are in what I call the defenders

01:08:00.880 --> 01:08:03.117
window. There's this limited time period

01:08:03.200 --> 01:08:04.877
where we've seen the shape of what is

01:08:04.960 --> 01:08:08.637
going to be possible with AI assisted

01:08:08.720 --> 01:08:12.317
vulnerability finding which can be used
for two purposes, right? It can be used

01:08:12.400 --> 01:08:16.077
by attackers to find threats and exploit
them, but it can be used by defenders to

01:08:16.160 --> 01:08:19.677
find those same threats and to patch
them before the attackers get there. And

01:08:19.760 --> 01:08:22.157
that I think that we as OpenAI as

01:08:22.240 --> 01:08:26.797
CrowdStrike as a as a security community
that what we what our responsibility is

01:08:26.880 --> 01:08:29.757
and what our strategy should be
is to really try to put these tools in the

01:08:29.840 --> 01:08:33.277
hands of defenders differentially, right?
So you really give defenders this

01:08:33.360 --> 01:08:36.397
time window where they have the most
advanced capabilities. they have these

01:08:36.480 --> 01:08:40.477
agentic tools that are able
to accomplish amazing things and to

01:08:40.560 --> 01:08:44.237
urgently apply those to improving
their own infrastructure to to securing

01:08:44.320 --> 01:08:48.797
themselves. And so that's my perspective
of of where things are is that we have

01:08:48.880 --> 01:08:50.317
this this general purpose technology.

01:08:50.400 --> 01:08:51.917
We've brought it to so many domains.

01:08:52.000 --> 01:08:55.517
We're solving these unsolved math
problems. Um that we're able to help

01:08:55.600 --> 01:08:59.037
people build software in unprecedented
ways and that we're actually going to be

01:08:59.120 --> 01:09:02.397
able to help make the world be much
more secure. But I think it's got to be a

01:09:02.480 --> 01:09:05.197
community effort, right? Everyone has
to come together to make this happen. So,

01:09:05.280 --> 01:09:08.797
George, rounding out the community effort,
following up on that, what is it

01:09:08.880 --> 01:09:13.277
about OpenAI and this very moment that
made you want to work together and have

01:09:13.360 --> 01:09:17.597
Greg here to join us today?
>> Well, I think it starts with uh

01:09:17.680 --> 01:09:22.797
incredible technology and it also starts
with customers, right? Customers, they

01:09:22.880 --> 01:09:25.997
want to be able to leverage Frontier
models, right? They want to be le

01:09:26.080 --> 01:09:29.597
leverage lots of models that are out
there. But what we want to be able to do

01:09:29.680 --> 01:09:33.997
is to work in combination in concert
with open AI to be able to take some of

01:09:34.080 --> 01:09:37.597
those models to also be able to make
them available to our customers in the

01:09:37.680 --> 01:09:40.397
way they want to consume them. Right?
We already have the security data. We

01:09:40.480 --> 01:09:43.997
already have lots of information about
what happens in their own environment.

01:09:44.080 --> 01:09:47.917
Uh and we want to make sure that they've
got the the the choice and the right

01:09:48.000 --> 01:09:52.237
power in terms of models to be able
to get the right outcomes. It is the

01:09:52.320 --> 01:09:55.997
community approach. It is the crowd
in the crowd strike, right? So, how do you

01:09:56.080 --> 01:10:00.237
bring together our ecosystem and realize,
sure, we can solve a lot of

01:10:00.320 --> 01:10:03.597
problems, but it's the power of the
ecosystem. It's the power when you bring

01:10:03.680 --> 01:10:06.717
everyone together. What you're building,
what we're building, what others are

01:10:06.800 --> 01:10:10.717
building in a way that ultimately gets
the best outcome for the customer. And

01:10:10.800 --> 01:10:13.037
that's why it's important.
And I think you guys have been, you know,

01:10:13.120 --> 01:10:17.277
forwardleaning in these areas. We've
been working with you. your customer on

01:10:17.360 --> 01:10:21.437
you know what matters in security
and how should we be thinking about

01:10:21.520 --> 01:10:25.837
delivering something jointly together
to a customer that is totally focused on

01:10:25.920 --> 01:10:28.717
security sure they're using your
technologies in other areas right but

01:10:28.800 --> 01:10:32.237
from a security practitioner and defender
standpoint there's specific use

01:10:32.320 --> 01:10:36.637
cases and specific needs and I think
just having that dialogue is really

01:10:36.720 --> 01:10:39.917
important to be able to deliver what
the customer wants and there's been an

01:10:40.000 --> 01:10:44.477
incredible openness to work with AI
uh you know we were part of many of the

01:10:44.560 --> 01:10:48.397
initiatives that you put out uh we were
front and center there with you and we

01:10:48.480 --> 01:10:51.437
certainly believe in you know what
you're doing and how you're going about

01:10:51.520 --> 01:10:53.917
it. So we're proud to be
partnering with you.

01:10:54.000 --> 01:10:56.317
>> We are as well.
>> And on the whole topic of openness, you

01:10:56.400 --> 01:10:59.997
know, I want to come back to uh earlier
in the summer to hugging face. Everyone

01:11:00.080 --> 01:11:03.357
here has certainly read I mean this is
the audience that reads and follows a

01:11:03.440 --> 01:11:06.637
lot of this stuff. Your transparency and

01:11:06.720 --> 01:11:09.357
openness really deserves recognition.

01:11:09.440 --> 01:11:13.117
Why was it important to you personally
to to publish as transparently as you

01:11:13.200 --> 01:11:16.237
did? and also maybe what are some of the
learnings or the takeaways that you want

01:11:16.320 --> 01:11:19.517
this crowd to have about the summer?

01:11:19.600 --> 01:11:24.077
>> Well, I would say that hugging face for
us and I think for the field is really a

01:11:24.160 --> 01:11:27.837
watershed moment. I think it is a
significant deal and not necessarily for

01:11:27.920 --> 01:11:31.197
the event itself but for what it
represents, right? For a little sense of

01:11:31.280 --> 01:11:34.317
where the future is going and I think
it's really two things, right? One is

01:11:34.400 --> 01:11:38.557
safety security alignment and that that
for us was a real wakeup call that I

01:11:38.640 --> 01:11:42.077
think we had underestimated just where
we were. We always knew that these were

01:11:42.160 --> 01:11:44.877
going to become these important
bottlenecks to development and not just

01:11:44.960 --> 01:11:48.077
be about deployment time but how we
actually develop. Um we went into full

01:11:48.160 --> 01:11:52.477
incident response mode afterwards really
have changed so much of how we the how

01:11:52.560 --> 01:11:56.157
the standards set within our development
process and how we integrate all these

01:11:56.240 --> 01:11:58.317
things together. But there's a second

01:11:58.400 --> 01:12:03.597
thing that I think is so critical for
every single defender, for anyone who's

01:12:03.680 --> 01:12:06.877
running a company, for anyone who's in
a position to really think about how the

01:12:06.960 --> 01:12:10.397
world needs to evolve to deeply
understand, which is that we had the

01:12:10.480 --> 01:12:14.957
first incontrovertible real world,
publicly documented, like just out

01:12:15.040 --> 01:12:17.197
there, everyone knows about it example

01:12:17.280 --> 01:12:22.077
of what an agentic a threat actor would
look like. And keep in mind, this is a

01:12:22.160 --> 01:12:26.237
fairly mild version of what could be
possible, right? there was no sort of

01:12:26.320 --> 01:12:30.477
intention of like you know a human who's
really trying to craft an attack. Um,

01:12:30.560 --> 01:12:33.357
this was kind of not even the main
objective that these agents were trying

01:12:33.440 --> 01:12:38.557
to seek, but that they were able to both
break out of a secure sandbox through

01:12:38.640 --> 01:12:41.117
developing their own zero day
and chaining together multiple

01:12:41.200 --> 01:12:45.037
vulnerabilities and they're able
to break into a company's production

01:12:45.120 --> 01:12:49.437
infrastructure again chaining together
multiple OAS. And you look at that and

01:12:49.520 --> 01:12:53.997
you see the curve of improved
capabilities and that the way that this

01:12:54.080 --> 01:12:57.917
is going right now is that the frontier
labs get to see into the future, right?

01:12:58.000 --> 01:13:01.517
But those capabilities will diffuse
into the world. And by the way, that is a

01:13:01.600 --> 01:13:04.477
good thing, right? It is good not
to have concentration of power. It is good

01:13:04.560 --> 01:13:08.717
to have diffusion of these AI
capabilities broadly. But in order to

01:13:08.800 --> 01:13:11.917
really be able to get the benefits
of this, it means that we need to use that

01:13:12.000 --> 01:13:15.117
time window. And so to me, I think we
got to see a little bit into the future.

01:13:15.200 --> 01:13:18.157
It's like we got this time traveler who
came back and said, "Hey, here's what

01:13:18.240 --> 01:13:19.677
the threat landscape will look like."

01:13:19.760 --> 01:13:23.277
And the threat landscape, it's been
evolving over the past, you know, 20, 30

01:13:23.360 --> 01:13:27.037
years, right? Think about how different
security is today from when the internet

01:13:27.120 --> 01:13:30.317
started. like totally different and I
think that we're going to have to have

01:13:30.400 --> 01:13:32.477
that level of change within even just

01:13:32.560 --> 01:13:37.517
six to 12 months like it has to go fast
and so to me this wakeup call and again

01:13:37.600 --> 01:13:41.917
we we're going to be talking more about
how we've responded ourselves um we've

01:13:42.000 --> 01:13:44.157
been in both on the research side but

01:13:44.240 --> 01:13:46.477
also on our production side full instant

01:13:46.560 --> 01:13:51.757
response mode took 25% or so of our best
you know of engineers just to say hey

01:13:51.840 --> 01:13:55.277
you're not building features right
now you're just securing apply our best

01:13:55.360 --> 01:13:57.837
models find the vulnerabilities fix them

01:13:57.920 --> 01:14:02.317
urgently and really change how we
operate in order to be able to rise to

01:14:02.400 --> 01:14:04.157
uh to be able to run at machine speed.

01:14:04.240 --> 01:14:07.757
So, there's still more work to do, but I
think that every company needs to really

01:14:07.840 --> 01:14:09.757
stare at this case study and think about

01:14:09.840 --> 01:14:13.357
how do I use this as information for how

01:14:13.440 --> 01:14:17.917
my processes need to change, for how my
operations need to change, and for how I

01:14:18.000 --> 01:14:21.757
build my system and secure myself,
how that needs to evolve in this new era.

01:14:21.840 --> 01:14:26.157
So, Deian, let me ask a quick question,
a follow up on this because um you know,

01:14:26.240 --> 01:14:30.557
you you guys had called us in to help
on this response and that was that's

01:14:30.640 --> 01:14:33.757
publicly known. So, I'll stick to like
the reports that you guys wrote. When

01:14:33.840 --> 01:14:37.277
you read the reports and again,
I commend you and HuggyFace for the

01:14:37.360 --> 01:14:40.077
transparency. The reports are
unbelievable and it's it's a great

01:14:40.160 --> 01:14:45.037
service for the security community. But
when you saw what the agents were doing,

01:14:45.120 --> 01:14:48.637
what was the biggest surprise you took
away? cuz when you read it you're like I

01:14:48.720 --> 01:14:52.957
I you know I don't know what AGI looks
like but man it sure smells like AGI you

01:14:53.040 --> 01:14:57.597
know like what was your biggest
takeaway when you saw how this unfolded

01:14:57.680 --> 01:15:01.437
>> well look [clears throat] I think that
there are some things where because we

01:15:01.520 --> 01:15:05.517
are developing the models we have some
intuitions and some sense of exactly the

01:15:05.600 --> 01:15:09.117
capabilities we expect right so the fact
of these agents being able to coordinate

01:15:09.200 --> 01:15:11.597
with each other that's actually
something we expected right that's

01:15:11.680 --> 01:15:12.717
something that that was really trained

01:15:12.800 --> 01:15:15.597
in I think that there was a surprise in

01:15:15.680 --> 01:15:19.517
some ways with really looking at the um

01:15:19.600 --> 01:15:22.717
I maybe maybe it's again kind of the
level of capability of the fact that

01:15:22.800 --> 01:15:27.997
they were capable of finding these zero
day exploit chains in order to to be

01:15:28.080 --> 01:15:31.757
able to achieve objectives. I think that
that was the surprise in some ways. um

01:15:31.840 --> 01:15:36.237
the fact that I you know to me that when
you have this impossible task that you

01:15:36.320 --> 01:15:39.117
set them that you set in front of them
that they try to find other ways to

01:15:39.200 --> 01:15:43.437
achieve this impossible task like not
surprising right so I think that for us

01:15:43.520 --> 01:15:47.517
a lot of the way that we make
development progress is by finding bugs

01:15:47.600 --> 01:15:51.197
right in these graders and kind of the
the rewards that you give to your models

01:15:51.280 --> 01:15:55.437
very very important um another takeaway
is that the need for train of thought

01:15:55.520 --> 01:15:59.357
monitoring during evaluation and dep
and development and that's something that

01:15:59.440 --> 01:16:03.277
we've deployed and so I think that
for For us, it's kind of a lot of these

01:16:03.360 --> 01:16:06.797
issues and a lot of what we saw, it's
things that we've thought about for many

01:16:06.880 --> 01:16:11.277
years. You can find blog posts from us
in 2017, 2018 talking about very similar

01:16:11.360 --> 01:16:14.877
issues. And I think just really seeing
it in front of you in an implemented

01:16:14.960 --> 01:16:18.797
system and realizing that the stakes,
I mean, they're large, right? We need to

01:16:18.880 --> 01:16:21.917
rise to that occasion. [clears throat]
>> That to me is the biggest takeaway.

01:16:22.000 --> 01:16:24.557
>> Did you do you think
they worked as a collective?

01:16:24.640 --> 01:16:27.597
>> I I mean, for for sure. I and I
think that the the thing that's very

01:16:27.680 --> 01:16:31.677
interesting about the collective
is that you can apply the same thing to

01:16:31.760 --> 01:16:35.357
important problems, right? that we've
used this to solve these unsolved math

01:16:35.440 --> 01:16:39.037
problems which you know maybe maybe now
we all you know kind of just have gotten

01:16:39.120 --> 01:16:42.557
used to it that the hundred-y old math
problem you go on Twitter tomorrow is

01:16:42.640 --> 01:16:46.637
solved again um but it's such a big
deal right and that capability applied to

01:16:46.720 --> 01:16:50.557
biology life sciences drug development
like it's all going to happen and so I

01:16:50.640 --> 01:16:53.677
think that we need to be ready for it
to be applied in cyber security but again

01:16:53.760 --> 01:16:57.677
it's a it's a powerful construct
is something that is going to be about

01:16:57.760 --> 01:17:00.957
accumulating lots of knowledge and being
able to use it in creative ways and I

01:17:01.040 --> 01:17:05.117
think it's so important that defenders
use that creativity uh as as quickly as

01:17:05.200 --> 01:17:07.597
possible. >> Yeah.
Let's move the conversation a

01:17:07.680 --> 01:17:10.797
little bit to choice. It was a it's
something that we all talk about a lot.

01:17:10.880 --> 01:17:15.917
George, how do you see model choice
evolving in a world where we use a lot

01:17:16.000 --> 01:17:20.157
of Frontier Labs, we use some open source.
How does a how how does that all

01:17:20.240 --> 01:17:21.917
set out for for a customer? Talk a

01:17:22.000 --> 01:17:24.717
little bit about model choice. Well, I

01:17:24.800 --> 01:17:29.597
think it's really important and um Greg
commented on a little bit of it which is

01:17:29.680 --> 01:17:34.397
like the power of these of AI shouldn't
be just concentrated in a few and I and

01:17:34.480 --> 01:17:38.317
we certainly see eye to eye on that and I
think when you look at AI and you look

01:17:38.400 --> 01:17:42.557
at again its impact on society its
impact on security I think choice is

01:17:42.640 --> 01:17:46.237
very important and I'm always focused
on this is why we've been you know we've

01:17:46.320 --> 01:17:50.157
we've been in lots of the sort
of frameworks that have gotten signed

01:17:50.240 --> 01:17:53.677
because we believe that a customer
should have choice we should have choice

01:17:53.760 --> 01:17:57.197
And ultimately you have to use the right
tool, the right model, the right harness

01:17:57.280 --> 01:18:00.157
to get the right outcome when you
need it, right? So there's going to be

01:18:00.240 --> 01:18:03.597
certain times where like hey just
everything goes to Frontier. Certain

01:18:03.680 --> 01:18:06.717
times where things can go to our model,
certain times things are, you know,

01:18:06.800 --> 01:18:08.477
somebody else's open source. At the end

01:18:08.560 --> 01:18:09.997
of the day, we're we're here to solve a

01:18:10.080 --> 01:18:13.917
problem and use the best AI. But what

01:18:14.000 --> 01:18:16.237
that means for customers is that I think

01:18:16.320 --> 01:18:20.957
you're in like the one of the best times
in the history of technology to have so

01:18:21.040 --> 01:18:23.037
much choice, have so much innovation.

01:18:23.120 --> 01:18:27.197
You know, again, I look at just even
over the last number of models that you

01:18:27.280 --> 01:18:30.157
guys have come out with. I mean,
we can talk about the industry like it's

01:18:30.240 --> 01:18:34.317
unbelievable what they're capable
of doing. I mean, sincerely, you're like

01:18:34.400 --> 01:18:36.237
this is just like life-changing, right?

01:18:36.320 --> 01:18:39.277
So when when you have capabilities like

01:18:39.360 --> 01:18:43.277
that and you have the amount of money
and resources and effort and the

01:18:43.360 --> 01:18:45.677
training and by the way the history
I mean you guys have been doing this a

01:18:45.760 --> 01:18:50.077
long time that that means a lot right
so for us I think choice is important and

01:18:50.160 --> 01:18:54.877
what we want to do with customers as I
talked about is we want to to enable

01:18:54.960 --> 01:18:58.557
them to have the right choice and the
right models and use whatever it's going

01:18:58.640 --> 01:19:03.517
to take however it's going to get there
to defend and create the asymmetry that

01:19:03.600 --> 01:19:07.437
we talked about with Jensen to stop the
breach. That's our end goal. And it it's

01:19:07.520 --> 01:19:12.077
it's not just with a handful of small
companies. It's not just with crowd.

01:19:12.160 --> 01:19:15.357
It's not just open source. It's how do
you put it all together in a composite

01:19:15.440 --> 01:19:19.437
way to get the best outcome. And I do
think and you know the harness is an

01:19:19.520 --> 01:19:23.677
important element to it. The harness can
work with anything, right? But bringing

01:19:23.760 --> 01:19:27.677
the right models with the right
partners, the right safety, the right

01:19:27.760 --> 01:19:31.277
expertise, and the right sort of data
sovereignty are what customers are

01:19:31.360 --> 01:19:35.197
looking for. And that's why we're
excited to again be working with OpenAI.

01:19:35.280 --> 01:19:38.557
Yep. And we're very aligned on this
perspective and you can look at a lot of

01:19:38.640 --> 01:19:42.157
choices that we make. Even the fact
the fact that the codeex harness is open

01:19:42.240 --> 01:19:45.757
source like that is that is very unique
and that means you can see exactly how

01:19:45.840 --> 01:19:49.117
our models work and we actually train
our models to be useful in any harness,

01:19:49.200 --> 01:19:52.797
right? That's a real intention that we
put into it. And if you look at where we

01:19:52.880 --> 01:19:55.597
are with Astra and we we've been
starting to kind of talk a little bit

01:19:55.680 --> 01:19:58.957
more publicly about what to expect. We
should even have a blog post later today

01:19:59.040 --> 01:20:03.917
where we start showing some of the evals
that we have on on cyber related tasks.

01:20:04.000 --> 01:20:07.117
And it's it's really incredible.
It's really a step up and again this is

01:20:07.200 --> 01:20:10.237
driving a lot of urgency for us to really
think about how do we bring these

01:20:10.320 --> 01:20:13.597
capabilities to the world in a broad
way that really help people defend and

01:20:13.680 --> 01:20:17.437
prepare for what's coming. Um that's
what we view our sort of responsibility

01:20:17.520 --> 01:20:20.717
and how we want to show up. Um but even
for example one thing that's interesting

01:20:20.800 --> 01:20:25.757
is uh you know hugging face they talked
about how hey we were we had to use an

01:20:25.840 --> 01:20:28.717
open model in order to be able to do
our incident response. We're unable to use

01:20:28.800 --> 01:20:32.157
closed models. They didn't actually
try our models and uh that's

01:20:32.240 --> 01:20:35.117
>> that's an interesting tidbit. Yeah,
I think people people have not heard that

01:20:35.200 --> 01:20:37.917
and actually our our belief is that if
they had used our models, they would

01:20:38.000 --> 01:20:41.677
have been able to do the exact same
sort of uh you know log analysis and and

01:20:41.760 --> 01:20:45.037
response that they did with with the open
ones. And so again, we really have

01:20:45.120 --> 01:20:49.277
a lot of technical work, a lot
of intention, a lot of sort of very

01:20:49.360 --> 01:20:53.277
concrete proof points of us really
trying to lean in to say let's help

01:20:53.360 --> 01:20:57.677
defenders uh wherever they are. Do you
think that the in and I'm saying this

01:20:57.760 --> 01:20:59.517
broadly maybe for Frontier AI, do you

01:20:59.600 --> 01:21:02.717
think the guard railing now is is is too

01:21:02.800 --> 01:21:07.597
tilted into a way that you know someone
tried a different model, they they

01:21:07.680 --> 01:21:10.477
didn't get a result, maybe they would
have gotten a result from you, but is it

01:21:10.560 --> 01:21:13.277
tilted in a way that has gone too far?

01:21:13.360 --> 01:21:16.957
Um because you know if you look at the
the older models of course you know it's

01:21:17.040 --> 01:21:20.237
a lot easier to kind of get the results
that you wanted but how do you how do

01:21:20.320 --> 01:21:24.477
you view that? I think this is a very
nuanced topic and I I really struggle

01:21:24.560 --> 01:21:27.037
with it. We really struggle with we
spent a lot of time debating this

01:21:27.120 --> 01:21:29.757
internally. But if you look at what's
happened really over the course of the

01:21:29.840 --> 01:21:33.037
year, beginning of the year, we
announced our our trusted access program

01:21:33.120 --> 01:21:37.437
because we really saw that cyber
capabilities were going to take off. And

01:21:37.520 --> 01:21:40.797
I think that as you start to have things
like Mythos and starting to see that you

01:21:40.880 --> 01:21:44.477
can get all these zero days kind of the
reaction was let's close it up, right?

01:21:44.560 --> 01:21:48.637
Let's really have very small number of
trusted defenders who get access. And on

01:21:48.720 --> 01:21:52.397
the one hand, I think it was helpful and
that there were some small number of of

01:21:52.480 --> 01:21:55.837
projects and companies that were able to
to be able to start getting ahead of the

01:21:55.920 --> 01:21:58.957
curve, but there's small number, right?

01:21:59.040 --> 01:22:02.317
That's the problem is it's really
a collective action problem, right? It's

01:22:02.400 --> 01:22:06.717
every defender needs these tools
and there's limited time and that the now

01:22:06.800 --> 01:22:10.557
we're looking at models that are coming
out that are very cyber capable, GLM53,

01:22:10.640 --> 01:22:15.517
things like that. And so to me that I
think there's something about this this

01:22:15.600 --> 01:22:19.197
world where it's like there's
a temptation to close up in a way that is

01:22:19.280 --> 01:22:22.557
actually locally optimal, right? Because
you can say, well, we can cut off these

01:22:22.640 --> 01:22:25.757
thread actors, but it's actually maybe
not globally optimal because you realize

01:22:25.840 --> 01:22:27.437
that you leave so many people behind.

01:22:27.520 --> 01:22:31.117
And so that's actually a tension.
It's like a fundamental tension. And I

01:22:31.200 --> 01:22:34.717
actually do see a lot of energy changing
now where people are saying, okay, these

01:22:34.800 --> 01:22:38.237
capabilities are coming from all over
the world, right? So many people are

01:22:38.320 --> 01:22:43.437
developing these models now. And if you
waste the opportunity, if you do not use

01:22:43.520 --> 01:22:46.877
the fact that you have these incredibly
cyber capable models to give you a

01:22:46.960 --> 01:22:49.997
window into the future that give
the defender this window, if you let that

01:22:50.080 --> 01:22:53.677
window close, if you let it shut, if
you let it go behind, it is not going to

01:22:53.760 --> 01:22:57.197
come back, right? It is it is an
opportunity that we have now. And that

01:22:57.280 --> 01:23:01.517
it is it is like an absolute amazing
fact that we have it. And so I think

01:23:01.600 --> 01:23:04.397
that there is something there that we
need to approach a little differently.

01:23:04.480 --> 01:23:07.757
Um, we've been thoughtfully trying to
to engage with that. But again, it's not

01:23:07.840 --> 01:23:11.837
just about us. It's really about
this collective action in the community.

01:23:11.920 --> 01:23:15.757
>> Greg, for you, you know, as you look
at the future of Open AI and it's a really

01:23:15.840 --> 01:23:20.077
exciting future, how do you view
the nature of your broader market and and

01:23:20.160 --> 01:23:23.677
your innovation so that more and more
of the world's best work and the best

01:23:23.760 --> 01:23:26.717
innovation happens using OpenAI models?

01:23:26.800 --> 01:23:29.757
>> Well, I think that our goal is train

01:23:29.840 --> 01:23:33.757
amazing models and help people do
amazing things with them, right? In some

01:23:33.840 --> 01:23:37.757
ways, we're a very simple business,
right? just we take compute, we train

01:23:37.840 --> 01:23:41.357
models, we deploy models. Um, in some
way it's a very complicated business,

01:23:41.440 --> 01:23:44.877
right? Because bringing these models to
the world in every single domain, making

01:23:44.960 --> 01:23:47.997
sure that they're able to perform well,
working very closely with customers,

01:23:48.080 --> 01:23:51.197
being able to get feedback, um, building
enterprise trust, building the right

01:23:51.280 --> 01:23:55.117
guardrails, observability, all those
things. Um, again, we can't do it alone.

01:23:55.200 --> 01:23:56.797
So, we rely on working with partners.

01:23:56.880 --> 01:23:59.757
One of the reasons that we love working
with CrowdStrike, right? and being able

01:23:59.840 --> 01:24:03.597
to really get that these models so
quickly into the hands of so many

01:24:03.680 --> 01:24:07.757
defenders is very very top of mind.
And so a lot of what we focus on is just

01:24:07.840 --> 01:24:11.837
really trying to be peering into
the future, building the most capable

01:24:11.920 --> 01:24:14.957
systems in a way that is deeply
responsible, right? And I think that

01:24:15.040 --> 01:24:18.877
we're really seeing how much safety,
security, and alignment are now becoming

01:24:18.960 --> 01:24:21.757
the bottleneck, right? The hardest part
of what we have to do. And so a lot of

01:24:21.840 --> 01:24:25.517
our effort is shifting from just the okay,
let's improve the score on this

01:24:25.600 --> 01:24:29.277
benchmark to let's make sure we're able
to deliver this all safely to the world

01:24:29.360 --> 01:24:32.557
um in in conjunction with our
partners and and the ecosystem.

01:24:32.640 --> 01:24:35.277
>> I think it's exactly why we're working
together, especially on initiatives like

01:24:35.360 --> 01:24:38.957
securing codecs that gets announced so
that more of our customers and more of

01:24:39.040 --> 01:24:42.157
the world can adopt AI faster and do so

01:24:42.240 --> 01:24:46.317
securely. George, round out the
conversation today. How is this a 1 plus

01:24:46.400 --> 01:24:51.037
1 equals 3? And what are you excited
about in terms of our future with

01:24:51.120 --> 01:24:53.437
working with OpenAI? >> Well,
I think there's a few things. I

01:24:53.520 --> 01:24:57.037
mean, if you start with codecs and and
sort of the agents themselves, being

01:24:57.120 --> 01:25:01.117
able to have a great relationship where
we can work together to help instrument

01:25:01.200 --> 01:25:03.917
what's happening. You know, you talked
about these sort of traces and opening

01:25:04.000 --> 01:25:07.517
up codecs and understanding what's
happening from an aid perspective.

01:25:07.600 --> 01:25:11.117
That's incredibly important and things
are changing very quickly. So you have

01:25:11.200 --> 01:25:15.117
to have a partner that you can work with
to get the telemetry and things that you

01:25:15.200 --> 01:25:19.517
want out of what's happening with the
agent itself. That's one. Number two is

01:25:19.600 --> 01:25:23.597
the models and being able to make those
available to our customers. So part of

01:25:23.680 --> 01:25:28.077
what we talked about is bringing
the open A models into our platform, but

01:25:28.160 --> 01:25:31.757
exposing them in a way where our
customers can harness the power of what

01:25:31.840 --> 01:25:35.677
Open AI has built on the data that we've
already collected. You know, we've been

01:25:35.760 --> 01:25:38.957
doing this for [clears throat] a long
time. We know the threat actors. We know

01:25:39.040 --> 01:25:43.437
how it works. We we have we know the
customer's environment and I think if we

01:25:43.520 --> 01:25:47.757
can share that information in a secure
way which is very important to our

01:25:47.840 --> 01:25:51.757
customers but still give them access to
the power of your models that's a that's

01:25:51.840 --> 01:25:56.877
a 1 plus 1 equals 4. >> Perfect.
Well on that 1 plus 1 equals

01:25:56.960 --> 01:25:58.077
four. We like that kind of math.

01:25:58.160 --> 01:26:00.477
>> Yes. We love it. >> Yeah.
That's a perfect outcome of a

01:26:00.560 --> 01:26:03.757
model. So thank you so much for your
time today Greg. It's been a pleasure

01:26:03.840 --> 01:26:05.437
having you. >> Thank you for having me.

01:26:05.520 --> 01:26:07.357
>> Thank you.
Thank you so much. All right.

talk to now.

01:26:11.840 --> 01:26:15.517
>> Well, that rounds [music] out
our session. We've gone through a lot of

01:26:15.600 --> 01:26:20.157
layers of the AI stack from the chip to
the to the end user computing device all

01:26:20.240 --> 01:26:24.077
the way to how we all interact with AI
all the time, the models. Thank you so

01:26:24.160 --> 01:26:26.477
much. You got to hear from Jensen, from

01:26:26.560 --> 01:26:29.117
Nvidia, from Intel, from OpenAI, all

01:26:29.200 --> 01:26:33.917
here on the stage at Falcon. Go out
into the hub, learn about securing AI. It

01:26:34.000 --> 01:26:40.600
takes a crowd to do it. Thank you for
being part of our crowd. Have a great day.
