CrowdStrike Expands Project QuiltWorks with AWS to Secure Cloud AI

As frontier AI accelerates the speed between disclosure and exploitation, defenders need coordinated response across cloud providers, security vendors and customers — not isolated patching cycles.

Frontier AI models are now embedded into mission-critical cloud workloads, but the window between a newly disclosed vulnerability and active exploitation continues to collapse. Security leaders are asking a direct question: how do we harden the cloud attack surface against AI-driven risk before adversaries weaponize it? Project QuiltWorks is CrowdStrike's industry coalition built to answer exactly that, and its expansion with AWS marks a decisive step for enterprise cloud defense.

What was announced

CrowdStrike announced the expansion of Project QuiltWorks together with Amazon Web Services (AWS), focusing on hardening the cloud attack surface against frontier AI risk. The collaboration extends QuiltWorks beyond endpoint and identity coverage into the AI-powered cloud stack, where customer AI agents, models and data converge.

The expanded program brings AWS into a coordinated ecosystem alongside CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security, the Falcon platform and AI security services. The goal is to close the frontier AI vulnerability gap at scale, by combining adversary intelligence, runtime telemetry, and shared response playbooks between vendor, cloud provider and customer SOC teams.

Why this matters

For CIOs, CISOs and IT procurement leaders, frontier AI is no longer an experiment — it is production infrastructure. That makes the cloud control plane, AI model endpoints and non-human identities prime targets. CrowdStrike's expanded QuiltWorks initiative directly addresses three priorities executives raise most often:

• Time-to-mitigation: coordinated playbooks reduce the gap between AWS-side disclosure and Falcon-side detection.
• Cloud attack surface visibility: unified telemetry across AWS workloads and Falcon Cloud Security closes blind spots around AI agents and APIs.
• Operational economics: consolidating AI risk management into the Falcon platform reduces tooling fragmentation and SOC overhead.

Securing frontier AI requires a coalition response — cloud providers, security vendors and customers operating from the same intelligence at machine speed

Technical details

• Coalition model: Project QuiltWorks unites CrowdStrike, AWS and ecosystem partners around a shared frontier AI vulnerability framework.
• Cloud attack surface coverage: Falcon Cloud Security (CNAPP) extends agent and agentless protection from code to cloud, now aligned with AWS-native signals.
• AI-native detection: Falcon AI Detection & Response covers models, agents, data and prompts running on AWS workloads.
• Frontier AI Readiness and Resilience Service: ongoing scans, expert prioritization and guided remediation for AI-driven exposure.
• Shadow AI Visibility Service: discovers hidden AI tools, agents and activity across endpoint, cloud and SaaS environments.
• Non-Human Identity protection: governance for service accounts, API keys, cloud workloads and AI agents — critical for AWS-hosted AI pipelines.
