CrowdStrike Launches Project QuiltWorks, Uniting the Cybersecurity Industry as Frontier AI Models Accelerate Risk

Powered by frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic, CrowdStrike’s coalition includes Accenture, EY, IBM Cybersecurity Services, Kroll, and OpenAI to close the AI vulnerability gap for every enterprise

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today launched Project QuiltWorks, an industry-wide coalition of ecosystem partners to assess, prioritize, and continuously remediate the wave of vulnerabilities in production code now being discovered by frontier AI models. Project QuiltWorks includes Accenture, EY, IBM Cybersecurity Services, Kroll, OpenAI, CrowdStrike, and its broader partner ecosystem to help every organization answer the question their board is asking: are we exposed?

To help organizations address the new wave of AI-discovered vulnerabilities, CrowdStrike launched the Frontier AI Readiness and Resilience Service to deliver continuous, expert-led engagements directly to customers. Project QuiltWorks includes the world’s leading systems integrators and frontier AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic to deliver assessments, board-level risk reporting, adversary-informed prioritization, and guided remediation.

“As frontier AI accelerates vulnerability discovery, every board in the world is asking their CISO the same question: are we exposed and are we protected?” said George Kurtz, CEO and founder of CrowdStrike. “Project QuiltWorks is how the industry comes together to give every organization the answer their board needs.”

The Coalition

Project QuiltWorks combines CrowdStrike’s AI-driven vulnerability discovery with remediation input from leading systems integrators and frontier model expertise from AI labs. The CrowdStrike Falcon® platform – processing trillions of security events daily – applies real-world adversary intelligence and attack path analysis to prioritize which vulnerabilities an adversary can actually reach and exploit. Project QuiltWorks extends that intelligence to the broader market through its partner network of 10,000+ certified professionals, driving remediation at the code level, inside the enterprise.

Why Now

Frontier AI models uncover logic bugs, design flaws, misconfigurations, and novel exploit paths beyond the reach of automated scanners and human reviews – eliminating the window between discovery and exploitation, and the time defenders once had to patch and respond. CrowdStrike’s Frontier AI Readiness and Resilience Service delivers continuous, expert- and agent-led engagements, with Project QuiltWorks scaling that response across the industry.

The coalition will deliver the technology and expertise every organization needs to understand and act on their frontier AI risk:

• Assessment: Expert review of each organization’s current program, where they stand today, and remediation capacity.
• Model Deployment: Frontier AI-powered scanning of applications and code bases to find the truly exploitable vulnerabilities that legacy tools and human review miss.
• Risk Prioritization: Expert red teamers rank findings by exploitability, adversary activity, and business impact – beyond CVSS scores.
• Remediation: Guided remediation to turn findings into action. Board-level analysis and read-outs that translate findings into clear answers for leadership.
