CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced the 36 startups selected for the second annual AWS and CrowdStrike Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator, in collaboration with the NVIDIA Inception program for startups. The program powers the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud security startups across the U.S., Israel and Europe.

The free eight-week program will include access to top cybersecurity investors and enablement sessions.
