Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang identified cybersecurity as the area where artificial intelligence could have its most consequential impact, arguing at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference on September 10, 2026, that AI-powered attacks are already scaling and require AI-powered defense. His remarks followed Nvidia and CrowdStrike’s September 1 unveiling of SafeMind at CrowdStrike’s Fal.Con 2026 event in Las Vegas. Built inside CrowdStrike’s Cyber Superintelligence Lab, SafeMind uses Nvidia’s Nemotron large language models to detect threats faster and more precisely than conventional security tools. Huang called CrowdStrike Nvidia’s "number one cybersecurity partner" and described the launch as "an inflection point in cybersecurity." CrowdStrike reported an 89% increase in AI-enabled cyberattacks over the past year, while the fastest recorded eCrime breakout time—the period between initial access and lateral network movement—has narrowed to 27 seconds. Huang also presented cybersecurity AI as a major commercial opportunity and said Nvidia is pursuing it as a core growth pillar alongside data center and AI compute businesses. Nvidia has set a target of 70% revenue growth for the coming fiscal year. In July 2026, Nvidia joined the Open Secure AI Alliance with Microsoft and IBM, a coalition focused on developing open-source AI security tools.
