Atos, Computacenter, Deutsche Telekom Security, Orange Cyberdefense, Telefónica, and other leading partners scale expertise and remediation capacity to accelerate action against frontier AI risk

AUSTIN, Texas & BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 2, 2026-- Fal.Con Europe 2026 -- CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced the expansion of Project QuiltWorks across Europe, adding leading partners to scale the expertise and remediation capacity organizations need as frontier AI transforms vulnerability discovery and exploitation.

Almaviva Group, Atos, BT, Computacenter, Deutsche Telekom Security, Grant Thornton UK, iiTD, Intrinsec, Kudelski Security, Orange Cyberdefense, Serviceware, Stoïk, Strong-IT, Telefónica, and TIM AG are joining Project QuiltWorks, extending its reach and depth of expertise across Europe.

“AI is changing the economics of vulnerability exploitation. The industry has to disrupt the economics of remediation,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. “That’s what QuiltWorks delivers; the AI, data, infrastructure, expertise, and financial protection to take customers from finding risk to fixing it before impact. Expanding across Europe scales the Crowd behind that mission, giving customers more capacity to prioritize what matters and fix it faster.”

An Operating Model for Frontier AI Risk

Project QuiltWorks operationalizes the industry response to frontier AI risk. It combines frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic and open Nemotron models from NVIDIA with CrowdStrike intelligence and real-time security data, hardened cloud infrastructure from AWS, agentic automation through Falcon IQ, partner-led remediation, and financial protection from leading cyber insurers.

Falcon IQ puts QuiltWorks into action, transforming findings into attack narratives, investment priorities, and remediation roadmaps while automating time-intensive work across assessment, prioritization, and remediation. European QuiltWorks partners will gain access to Falcon IQ, giving them new ways to scale their expertise and accelerate remediation across customer environments.

To further scale partner expertise, CrowdStrike is introducing the QuiltWorks Sales Pioneer accreditation, recognizing partners who complete four CrowdStrike Sales Associate (CSA) accreditations. The new accreditation gives distributors a framework to drive partner enablement and expand QuiltWorks knowledge across the channel.

Across Europe, the partners bring deep local knowledge of the customer environments where QuiltWorks findings must be put into action, helping organizations address frontier AI risk within Europe’s evolving data and sovereignty requirements. Their established relationships, technical expertise, and hands-on remediation capabilities give customers the context and capacity to turn prioritized findings into measurable risk reduction.
