CrowdStrike Expands Project QuiltWorks to SMBs, Extending Frontier AI Risk Protection to All Organisations

CrowdStrike is extending Project QuiltWorks to organisations of all sizes. As frontier AI lowers the barrier to sophisticated attacks and collapses the window between vulnerability and exploitation, every organisation becomes a target. Through global distributors, cloud marketplaces, and cybersecurity’s deepest channel partner ecosystem, CrowdStrike is bringing the only coordinated framework to secure every layer of frontier AI risk to SMBs worldwide.

Arrow Electronics, Ignition Technology, Nord Security, Pax8, TD SYNNEX, Westcon-Comstor, and Zip Security bring QuiltWorks down market. Their global partner, MSP, and MSSP networks extend the coalition’s AI-driven vulnerability discovery and prioritisation, expert-led remediation, and financial protection to organisations that have lacked access to an enterprise-grade program at this scale, while building repeatable, scalable frontier AI businesses on the Falcon® platform.

“Frontier AI has fundamentally shifted cybersecurity from risk management to business imperative,” said Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer at CrowdStrike. “SMBs are the backbone of the global economy and need the same standard of protection as the world’s largest enterprises. QuiltWorks has proven itself that standard, attempted by others, replicated by none. The channel is how QuiltWorks can reach every organisation, regardless of size, sector, or geography.”

Bringing QuiltWorks Down Market

As more advanced AI models become available, nearly any adversary can discover, chain, and exploit vulnerabilities at machine speed and scale, placing organizations of all sizes at risk. Powered by frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic, Project QuiltWorks unites CrowdStrike’s AI-driven vulnerability discovery and adversary-informed prioritisation with remediation services from leading systems integrators, hardened cloud infrastructure from Amazon Web Services (AWS), and financial protection from leaders in the cyber insurance industry. Most SMBs lack the resources and expertise to access and operationalise these capabilities on their own.

“Our channel partners are looking for trusted guidance and confidence as AI rapidly transforms the cybersecurity landscape. Through QuiltWorks, Arrow and CrowdStrike can help connect them with deeper insights into emerging risks, accelerated remediation strategies, and the collective expertise of the industry’s leading cybersecurity innovators to better protect the organizations they serve,” said Kelly Noland, General Manager of Cybersecurity Solutions, North America, at Arrow Electronics.

With the world’s leading technology distributors and marketplaces and their global networks of thousands of partners already delivering managed security services to SMBs across regions, QuiltWorks now has a path to every organisation, and a proven framework to secure them at the moment frontier AI changed cybersecurity forever.
