Infosys, CrowdStrike Launch Project QuiltWorks for AI Vulnerability Management

Infosys and CrowdStrike form coalition to tackle AI-driven vulnerability surge

Infosys and CrowdStrike have established Project QuiltWorks, a coalition-based initiative designed to manage the millions of vulnerabilities now being discovered by frontier AI models. The partnership reflects a fundamental shift in how the cybersecurity industry must respond to AI-accelerated threats.

The collaboration pairs CrowdStrike's security detection platform with Infosys's deep enterprise and customer context as a systems integrator. Infosys serves as a founding partner in the initiative, which also includes additional technology and services partners.

Why it matters

AI has fundamentally altered the vulnerability lifecycle, compressing the window between discovery and exploitation from hours to minutes or seconds. Traditional vulnerability management approaches cannot scale to address this velocity shift, forcing the industry toward collaborative frameworks that combine platform capabilities with implementation expertise.

Addressing velocity, volume, and complexity

Mayank Agarwal, vice president and head of cybersecurity Americas at Infosys, emphasized that AI has transformed three critical dimensions of vulnerability management: the speed at which threats emerge, the sheer volume of vulnerabilities being identified, and the nature of those vulnerabilities themselves.

The compression of exploitation timelines represents perhaps the most urgent challenge. Where security teams once had hours to assess and respond to newly disclosed vulnerabilities, AI-powered discovery and exploitation tools have reduced that window to minutes or even seconds.

Project QuiltWorks aims to deliver a scalable solution for assessing and remediating these AI-discovered vulnerabilities at enterprise scale. The coalition structure allows participating organizations to pool detection capabilities, contextual intelligence, and remediation resources.

Onboarding path for CrowdStrike offerings

Beyond its immediate vulnerability management mission, Project QuiltWorks also functions as an onboarding mechanism for new CrowdStrike offerings. This dual purpose suggests the coalition may serve as a testing ground for emerging security capabilities before broader market release.

Core principles still apply

Despite the technological disruption AI brings to cybersecurity, Agarwal noted that foundational security principles remain relevant. Zero trust architecture and the CIA triad—confidentiality, integrity, and availability—continue to guide security strategy, now applied to both human users and AI agents operating within enterprise environments.

This grounding in established frameworks may help organizations navigate AI-driven changes without abandoning proven security practices.
