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

CrowdStrike and AWS Deepen Integration to Supercharge Cloud Security Operations

CrowdStrike expands Falcon AI Detection and Response protections for AI applications built on AWS and broadens Falcon platform access through AWS Marketplace free trials and new cloud-scale integrations CrowdStrike, in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), announced new AI, cloud, and Next-Gen SIEM innovations that help organizations securely build, deploy, and operate AI applications and cloud workloads on AWS. CrowdStrike is expanding CrowdStrike Falcon® AI Detection and Response (AIDR) capabilities on AWS, helping organizations identify and mitigate AI runtime risks across AI applications built with AWS technologies including Amazon Bedrock, Kiro, and Strands Agents. CrowdStrike is also expanding CrowdStrike Falcon® platform availability in AWS Marketplace with new 30-day free trials for CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM, CrowdStrike Falcon® Cloud Security, and CrowdStrike Falcon® Endpoint Security on a pay-as-you-go basis. New Quick Start connectors for Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) access logs help streamline onboarding and accelerate time-to-value. AWS PrivateLink cross-region support further simplifies cloud-scale security operations on AWS. Securing AI Applications on AWS As organizations operationalize AI agents and autonomous workflows on AWS, CrowdStrike is helping customers securely build, deploy, and scale AI applications across the AI development and deployment lifecycle. Building on CrowdStrike's designation as an inaugural AWS Agentic AI Specialization Partner and the companies' broader work advancing secure frontier AI innovation through Anthropic's Project Glasswing initiative, CrowdStrike is extending visibility and protection across customer AI applications built on AWS. Falcon AIDR delivers real-time security evaluation of agent, LLM, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) communications to help stop prompt injection, sensitive data leakage, and malicious AI activity. CrowdStrike is extending these protections across AI applications built on AWS, including applications developed with Kiro, agents built with Strands Agents, and workloads running on Amazon Bedrock, helping organizations identify and mitigate AI runtime risks while maintaining continuous visibility across the AI development and deployment lifecycle. 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. Together 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, enabling customers to accelerate AI adoption with confidence. "Organizations are rapidly moving AI applications from experimentation into production," said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. "Together, CrowdStrike is helping customers securely build, deploy, and operate AI-powered applications on AWS, with protection that spans development, runtime, identities, and cloud infrastructure." Expanding Flexible Access to Falcon on AWS Following the flexible pay-as-you-go consumption model introduced for the Falcon platform in AWS Marketplace, the new 30-day free trials make it easier for organizations to experience Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, Falcon Cloud Security and Falcon Endpoint Security before transitioning to consumption-based pricing, accelerating onboarding and time-to-value. Accelerating Cloud-Scale Security Operations on AWS Building on recent Falcon Next-Gen SIEM integrations for AWS services including AWS Security Hub, Amazon GuardDuty, and AWS CloudTrail, CrowdStrike is introducing new AWS Quick Start connectors for Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon S3 access logs, streamlining onboarding and helping organizations rapidly ingest AWS telemetry at scale across multi-account, multi-region AWS deployments. CrowdStrike is also introducing AWS PrivateLink cross-region support, enabling organizations to securely route Falcon platform traffic across the AWS backbone while reducing internet exposure and data transfer costs. Together, these capabilities help organizations accelerate investigations, simplify operations, and optimize security at cloud scale.

CrowdStrike expands Project QuiltWorks partnership with AWS By Investing.com

AUSTIN, Texas & NEW YORK - CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) announced today an expansion of Project QuiltWorks with Amazon Web Services, adding cloud infrastructure capabilities to the coalition addressing AI-related cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The expanded partnership integrates AWS cloud workload infrastructure into Project QuiltWorks, which combines vulnerability discovery, prioritization, remediation services, and financial protection. Organizations running workloads on AWS will receive continuous monitoring for vulnerabilities related to frontier AI, according to a press release statement. "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." The company generated $5.09 billion in revenue over the last twelve months with 23% growth, maintaining a robust 75% gross profit margin. CrowdStrike maintains over 110 native AWS integrations, providing visibility into vulnerabilities across cloud infrastructure. The company states that frontier AI accelerates the pace at which vulnerabilities are discovered in production workloads. Project QuiltWorks uses AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic for vulnerability discovery. The coalition includes systems integrators for remediation services and cyber insurance providers for financial protection. AWS joins as the infrastructure component of the framework. "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," said Mona Chadha, Director of AI & Strategic Partnerships at AWS. Organizations using AWS can request a Project QuiltWorks assessment to evaluate their current security program and remediation capacity. The announcement was made at the AWS Summit in New York. While CrowdStrike's stock currently trades above InvestingPro's Fair Value estimate, placing it on the most overvalued list, 27 analysts have recently revised their earnings upwards.
