CrowdStrike Advances Project QuiltWorks with Regional Partner Expertise Across North America

CDW, GuidePoint Security, Optiv, Presidio, and other leading partners bring specialized frontier readiness expertise and services to U.S. and Canadian customers

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced the first geographic localization of Project QuiltWorks, bringing together a dedicated North American partner cohort that delivers specialized frontier AI readiness expertise and remediation services for customers across the U.S. and Canada. Blackthorne Consulting, CDW, Consortium, Echelon Risk + Cyber, EVOTEK, GuidePoint Security, NETbuilder, Optiv, Pondurance, and Presidio are helping customers turn QuiltWorks findings into prioritized action and remediation.

The geographic localization marks the next phase of Project QuiltWorks. As the global QuiltWorks ecosystem continues to grow across technology, services, cloud infrastructure, and cyber insurance, CrowdStrike is regionalizing the program to connect customers with partners that bring the expertise, scale, and services required to address the unique needs of their markets.

“QuiltWorks is scaling globally. Now we’re bringing that scale closer to customers,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. “The Crowd is our advantage. By combining CrowdStrike innovation with the local expertise and reach of our partners across the U.S. and Canada, we’re giving customers more capacity to act on the AI risks that matter and a faster path from finding them to fixing them.”

Global Scale. Regional Expertise.

Powered by frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic, and open Nemotron models from NVIDIA, QuiltWorks combines CrowdStrike’s AI-driven vulnerability discovery and adversary-informed prioritization with partner-led remediation, hardened cloud infrastructure from Amazon Web Services (AWS), and financial protection from leaders in the cyber insurance industry. More third-party security data now flows into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, extending visibility across customer environments and strengthening QuiltWorks vulnerability discovery. Falcon IQ puts those findings to work with partner services, attack narratives generation, investment priorities, and remediation roadmaps while enabling partners to scale expertise across customer environments.

Across the U.S. and Canada, Blackthorne Consulting, CDW, Consortium, Echelon Risk + Cyber, EVOTEK, GuidePoint Security, NETbuilder, Optiv, Pondurance, and Presidio bring differentiated expertise spanning assessment, architecture, engineering, offensive security, managed detection and response (MDR), security operations, and remediation. Together, they connect the scale of QuiltWorks with the practitioners customers trust to drive action.

For customers, the regional model means broader visibility into risk, faster prioritization, and greater access to specialized expertise and remediation capacity – bringing the full power of QuiltWorks closer to where they operate.
