CrowdStrike has launched Project QuiltWorks, an industry‑wide coalition aimed at helping enterprises assess and respond to the surge of vulnerabilities being uncovered by frontier AI models.
The initiative, which brings together Accenture, EY, IBM Cybersecurity Services, Kroll and OpenAI alongside CrowdStrike’s broader partner ecosystem, is designed to close the “AI vulnerability gap” that is emerging as AI discovers bugs and misconfigurations faster than defenders can patch them.
AI‑driven vulnerability discovery at scale
Project QuiltWorks sits on top of CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform, which processes trillions of security events daily and applies real‑world adversary intelligence to map exploit‑ready attack paths.
The Frontier AI Readiness and Resilience Service, now under the QuiltWorks umbrella, delivers continuous, expert‑led engagements that apply frontier AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic to scan applications and code bases, exposing logic bugs, design flaws, misconfigurations and novel exploit paths that legacy scanners and human reviews often miss.
“As frontier AI accelerates vulnerability discovery, every board in the world is asking their CISO the same question: are we exposed and are we protected?” said George Kurtz, CEO and founder of CrowdStrike. “Project QuiltWorks is how the industry comes together to give every organization the answer their board needs.”
A structured workflow for AI‑era risk
The coalition offers a four‑stage workflow: assessment, model‑driven scanning, risk prioritisation and guided remediation, with a strong emphasis on board‑level reporting.
Teams start with an expert review of the organisation’s current security posture and remediation capacity, then deploy AI‑driven scanning to surface truly exploitable issues.
Red‑team experts then rank findings by exploitability and business impact, going beyond CVSS scores, and work with partners to guide code‑level fixes, remediation and continuous improvement.
The aim is to turn AI‑discovered vulnerabilities into a repeatable, prioritised remediation process rather than a fire‑drill‑only response.
Industry‑partner perspective on AI‑driven risk
Mark Hughes, global managing partner of Cybersecurity Services, IBM Consulting, describes frontier models as creating fast‑moving, systemic, and increasingly autonomous threats, and sees Project QuiltWorks plus IBM’s Autonomous Security as a way to respond at machine speed.
OpenAI CISO Dane Stuckey adds that AI is transforming cybersecurity, and that Trusted Access for Cyber helps put stronger capabilities in the hands of trusted defenders to accelerate discovery and remediation across the ecosystem
