EY expands cybersecurity business on CrowdStrike Falcon

EY is building its frontier AI and cyber resilience business on CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform across more than 20 EY member firms. The strategy includes a significant Falcon Flex commitment to expand managed security services, a services design partnership for SafeMind and plans to train its cybersecurity services workforce over the next year. The financial size of the commitment was not disclosed.

EY and CrowdStrike are working with U.S. energy provider Xcel Energy to implement SafeMind. Developed by the CrowdStrike Cyber Superintelligence Lab, SafeMind is a family of security models and harnesses that partners can access through Project QuiltWorks. EY was a founding member of the coalition, which focuses on assessing, prioritizing and continuously remediating frontier AI risk.

EY is also integrating Project QuiltWorks training into its global learning management system to help staff prioritize client risks and accelerate remediation. CrowdStrike said an EY Fortune 100 client identified nearly 45 million vulnerabilities within hours of using QuiltWorks, including many that had remained undetected for years.
