CrowdStrike and AWS expand partnership to tackle AI security and frontier AI risk

CrowdStrike and AWS Strengthen Cloud Security Partnership

CrowdStrike and AWS have announced a significant expansion of their collaboration, introducing new capabilities designed to address AI security challenges and protect organizations deploying AI applications in the cloud. The partnership centers on extending CrowdStrike's Falcon AI Detection and Response protections while expanding Project QuiltWorks to include AWS cloud workload infrastructure 1

. This development comes as organizations rapidly move AI applications from experimentation into production environments, creating urgent needs for comprehensive security frameworks that can keep pace with frontier AI risk.

Project QuiltWorks Expands to Harden Cloud Attack Surface

The expansion of Project QuiltWorks with AWS represents a strategic move to address AI-related cybersecurity vulnerabilities across the entire cloud infrastructure stack. The coalition now integrates AWS as the infrastructure component, joining vulnerability discovery, prioritization, remediation services, and financial protection under one framework 2

. "QuiltWorks was built to give every organization a complete answer to frontier AI risk," said Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer at CrowdStrike. "With the addition of AWS, we've closed the loop: the technology to find and prioritize it, the services to fix it, the financial protection to mitigate it, and now the infrastructure where these workloads run" 2

Organizations running workloads on AWS will receive continuous monitoring for vulnerabilities related to frontier AI, leveraging CrowdStrike's over 110 native AWS integrations 3

. Powered by frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic, Project QuiltWorks combines AI-driven vulnerability discovery with adversary-informed prioritization, creating a comprehensive response framework as frontier AI collapses the window between vulnerability and exploitation .

Enhanced AI Security for Secure AI Development and Deployment

CrowdStrike is extending Falcon AI Detection and Response capabilities to help organizations identify and mitigate AI runtime risks across AI applications built with AWS technologies including Amazon Bedrock, Kiro, and Strands Agents 1

The CrowdStrike Falcon MCP integration for Kiro enables developers to securely access CrowdStrike intelligence, detections, and security context directly within coding workflows, creating real-time feedback loops during agentic application development 1

. Combined with Falcon Next-Gen SIEM and Falcon Cloud Security, organizations can secure their broader AI workload stack on AWS by protecting non-human identities and credentials, governing data flows, and assessing Amazon Bedrock and AWS service misconfigurations 1

AWS Marketplace Access and Cloud-Scale Security Operations

CrowdStrike is expanding Falcon platform availability in AWS Marketplace with new 30-day free trials for Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, Falcon Cloud Security, and Falcon Endpoint Security on a pay-as-you-go basis 1

. This flexible consumption model makes it easier for organizations to experience the platform before transitioning to consumption-based pricing, accelerating onboarding and time-to-value.

To streamline cloud-scale security operations, CrowdStrike is introducing new AWS Quick Start connectors for Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon S3 access logs, helping organizations rapidly ingest AWS telemetry at scale across multi-account, multi-region AWS deployments 1

. AWS PrivateLink cross-region support enables organizations to securely route Falcon platform traffic across the AWS backbone while reducing internet exposure and data transfer costs 1

Mona Chadha, Director of AI & Strategic Partnerships at AWS, emphasized the value: "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" 2

. Organizations using AWS can request a Project QuiltWorks assessment to evaluate their current security program and remediation capacity, with the coalition now including systems integrators for prioritized remediation services and cyber insurance providers for financial protection 2
