CrowdStrike has expanded its Project QuiltWorks initiative through a new collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), extending the coalition’s reach into the cloud infrastructure layer.
The cyber security firm said the move will provide organisations running workloads on AWS with continuous access to QuiltWorks intelligence, helping them identify and prioritise vulnerabilities across their cloud environments before they can be exploited.
Project QuiltWorks was launched to bring together technology, security services and financial protection providers to address risks associated with advanced AI systems. CrowdStrike argues that frontier AI is dramatically reducing the time between the discovery of a vulnerability and its exploitation, creating new challenges for defenders.
“QuiltWorks was built to give every organisation a complete answer to frontier AI risk,” Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike, said in an 18 June statement.
“With the addition of AWS, we’ve closed the loop: the technology to find and prioritise it, the services to fix it, the financial protection to mitigate it, and now the infrastructure where these workloads run. That’s the coalition customers need.”
Under the expanded partnership, QuiltWorks intelligence will be integrated with AWS environments to provide continuous visibility into emerging vulnerabilities affecting production workloads.
CrowdStrike said this will enable organisations to assess risk and prioritise remediation efforts across their enterprise, regardless of where applications and data are hosted.
AWS said the partnership addresses a growing challenge as AI tools accelerate vulnerability discovery and increase pressure on organisations to respond more quickly.
“As AI accelerates the pace of vulnerability discovery, organisations need new ways to understand and address emerging risk,” Mona Chadha, director of AI and strategic partnerships at AWS, said.
“By extending QuiltWorks intelligence to include those workloads running on AWS, we’re helping customers gain greater visibility into risk across the cloud infrastructure that powers their most critical workloads.”
