CrowdStrike brings QuiltWorks to SMBs

CrowdStrike is expanding Project QuiltWorks to organizations of all sizes, positioning the program as a way for SMBs to manage security risks created by frontier AI. The company said advanced AI models are making it easier for adversaries to discover, chain and exploit vulnerabilities at machine speed, increasing pressure on smaller organizations that often lack enterprise-level security resources.

The expansion will run through global distributors, cloud marketplaces and channel partners, including Arrow Electronics, Ignition Technology, Nord Security, Pax8, TD SYNNEX, Westcon-Comstor and Zip Security. Their partner, MSP and MSSP networks are expected to deliver QuiltWorks capabilities to SMB customers while building services around CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform.

Project QuiltWorks combines CrowdStrike’s AI-driven vulnerability discovery and adversary-informed prioritization with remediation services from systems integrators, hardened cloud infrastructure from Amazon Web Services and financial protection from cyber insurance providers. The initiative is powered by frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic and is designed to make enterprise-grade protection more accessible to smaller businesses.
