<\/p>\nAI operating system company VAST Data<\/a> has entered into a collaboration with CrowdStrike<\/a> aimed at helping secure enterprise AI, analytics and multi-tenant environments at the foundational data level.<\/p>\n Under the agreement, the companies will combine VAST\u2019s native data-layer governance and platform-level controls with CrowdStrike\u2019s threat detection and automated response capabilities within the VAST AI Operating System.<\/p>\n The partnership seeks to help enterprises secure the AI lifecycle, from development to production, by integrating detection, workflow scanning and response into the environments used to build, train and operate AI systems.
