CrowdStrike announced at RSE 2026 that Jazz won the third annual Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator held in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and NVIDIA. Through the NVIDIA Inception program, JAIS was recognized for its novel AI-powered data loss prevention (DLP) approach and its promise to solve key security challenges for today's enterprises.

Nearly 1,000 startups from around the world applied to the 2026 accelerator. This interest shows a growing demand for AI-powered cloud security. Thirty-five startups joined the eight-week, equity-free program. They collaborated with experts from CrowdStrike, AWS, NVIDIA, and others to transform ideas into enterprise-ready security platforms and launch their businesses.

On March 24, 2026, at the RSAC-2026 conference in San Francisco, Jazz was named the winner of the Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator. The choice was made from six finalists. The judges included George Kurtz, CEO and founder of CrowdStrike; CJ Moses, Chief Information and Security Officer (CISO) at Amazon; Richardson, senior director of Agentic AI and cybersecurity engineering at NVIDIA; and special guest judge Robert Herjavec, entrepreneur and Shark Tank judge.

Above Security was named the runner-up for its use of AI agents, software that uses artificial intelligence to perform tasks autonomously to manage insider risk and security threats within an organization, and to reduce traditional alerts with detailed investigative reports.

The accelerator highlights a trend seen at both the RSA Conference, a major cybersecurity event, and NVIDIA GTC 2026, NVIDIA's AI and graphics conference. Hardware companies, enterprise service providers, and new founders are building on a shared security platform. This platform offers technology and infrastructure designed for collaborative deployment and protection.

We are incredibly grateful to be the winner of the CrowdStrike, AWS, and NVIDIA cybersecurity startup accelerator. Said Ido Livneh, co-founder and CEO at JAIS: "DLP has been broken for decades by rule writing, alert floods, and no real answers. So, we rebuilt it from the ground up using first principles thinking as an AI-native system to truly understand how data moves through a business." The advice and assistance we received through the accelerator were essential to sharpening the product and validating it against real-world enterprise demands as we scale.

The path to becoming a defining cybersecurity company looks nothing like it did just three years ago, said Daniel Barnard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. Today's promising founders are building on leading platforms from the start. Together with AWS and N media, this accelerator supports early innovation. JAWS stood out for its context-aware, AI-native DLP approach, leveraging Melody and Context Vault to provide clear, actionable answers at scale and exemplify leadership in the new cybersecurity era.

Security innovation only matters if it performs within real cloud environments, said CJ Moses, CISO of Integrated Security at Amazon. This accelerator connects founders directly with the infrastructure, operational expectations, and scale enterprises demand. What sets Jazz apart is its ability to investigate signals with full business context and surface meaningful incidents with minimal analyst overhead, meeting the standards modern security teams expect.

The shift to agentic AI is transforming cybersecurity, requiring autonomous systems that can perceive, reason, and act against increasingly sophisticated threats, said Bartley Richardson, senior director of agentic AI and cybersecurity engineering at NVIDIA. The accelerator equips the next generation of security platforms with high-performance compute and foundational frameworks needed for secure, scalable AI. Judge distinguished itself by its agentic investigator, Melody. It can analyze multidimensional context across data, systems, people, and businesses. This helps drive precise, in-context prevention decisions and distills millions of events into a small set of usable insights.
