CrowdStrike Launches Project QuiltWorks to Patch the AI Bugs

“More vulnerabilities will be found in the next six months than the last 30 years.”

This CrowdStrike statement is the aftermath of the industry witnessing the cyber-fire power of frontier AI models.

As the “AI vulnerability storm” or “vuln-pocalypse” looms, the cybersecurity giant has launched Project QuiltWorks, a coalition which aims to assess and patch new wave of vulnerabilities in production code that  are being discovered with great speed by AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic. 

Part of this coalition are Accenture, EY, IBM Cybersecurity Services, Kroll, OpenAI, CrowdStrike and its broader partner ecosystem. 

George Kurtz, CEO and founder of CrowdStrike, says: “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?

“Project QuiltWorks is how the industry comes together to give every organisation the answer their board needs.”

Frontier AI Readiness and Resilience Service

George underscores what a game changer these models have been in vulnerability discovery. Their speed means that “the patching window hasn’t just been reduced, it has pretty much vanished.”

Understanding firmly that the tsunami of vulnerabilities that AI discovers poses a remediation challenge that individual security teams may find overwhelming, CrowdStrike has launched Frontier AI Readiness and Resilience Service. 

With a team of CrowdStrike’s red team experts helping organisations prioritise their findings confirming true positives and guides the fixing priority based on adversary risk, the service delivers “continuous, expert-led engagements directly to customers”. 

Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer at CrowdStrike notes on his LinkedIn: “OpenAI and Anthropic on the AI side are pushing the limits of vulnerability detection. 

“Accenture, EY, Kroll and IBM delivering globally with more than 10,000 Falcon-certified cybersecurity professionals. One program: find them, fix them, protect every organisation irrespective of their technology stack.”

Noting that vulnerabilities are lurking in the production code of every organisation today, Daniel says that: “The question is who finds them first. CrowdStrike is bringing the industry together to make sure the defenders do. The power of the crowd delivers the fix.”

What does Project QuiltWorks do?

Project Quiltworks is a collaborative initiative that helps organisations make sense of and act on the rising risks posed by powerful AI. 

As understanding where you stand in terms of capability is necessary, it begins with a deep assessment, where specialists review an organisation’s current security maturity, map its strengths and weaknesses and evaluate how ready it is to respond to evolving threats. 

From there, advanced AI models including those from Anthropic and OpenAI are deployed to scan applications and codebases at scale, uncovering genuinely exploitable vulnerabilities that often evade both legacy tools and human review. 

These findings are then refined through expert risk prioritisation, where red teams weigh issues based on real-world exploitability, adversary behaviour and business impact rather than relying on conventional scoring systems. 

The process concludes with guided remediation, turning insight into action, supported by clear, board-ready reporting that translates complex technical risk into decisions leadership teams can confidently act on.

“AI is transforming cybersecurity and defenders need advanced intelligence to keep pace,” says Dane Stuckey, CISO at OpenAI.

“Through Trusted Access for Cyber, we’re putting stronger capabilities in trusted hands to accelerate vulnerability discovery and remediation, improve resilience and help secure critical software across the ecosystem. 

“We’re proud to support CrowdStrike’s Project QuiltWorks and its focus on practical collaboration for a more secure digital world.”
