CrowdStrike Says AI Shifts Cybersecurity Balance Toward Defenders as It Helps Disrupt Sality Botnet

CrowdStrike says AI is beginning to shift cybersecurity’s advantage toward defenders as it and partners disrupt the two-decade-old Sality botnet, using Nvidia Nemotron-based red- and blue-team models trained on CrowdStrike security data.

• CrowdStrike's Adam Meyers says AI now lets security teams match attackers' speed and scale, potentially shifting cybersecurity's balance toward defenders.
• CrowdStrike and partners disrupt the Sality botnet, which has operated for more than two decades.
• CrowdStrike trains red-team and blue-team models using Nvidia's Nemotron models and CrowdStrike security data, while changing an AI harness reduces vulnerability-research false positives without altering the underlying model.
