CrowdStrike (CRWD) announced Wednesday it is expanding its partnership with Amazon Web Services, adding AWS to Project QuiltWorks and extending its AI security tools to cover applications built on AWS infrastructure.

CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc., CRWD

Project QuiltWorks is CrowdStrike’s coalition framework designed to continuously monitor and protect cloud workloads against AI-related vulnerabilities. Adding AWS brings more cloud infrastructure under that umbrella.

The core of the announcement is an expansion of Falcon AI Detection and Response. The tool now covers AI applications built using AWS technologies including Amazon Bedrock, Kiro, and Strands Agents.

It provides real-time security evaluation of agent and large language model communications. The focus is on catching prompt injection, data leakage, and malicious AI activity as it happens.

CrowdStrike is also making it easier for new customers to get started. Three products — Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, Falcon Cloud Security, and Falcon Endpoint Security — are now available on AWS Marketplace with 30-day free trials on a pay-as-you-go basis.

That’s a low-friction way for organizations to test before they buy in.

New Developer and Networking Tools

On the developer side, the company is launching a Falcon MCP integration for Kiro. This lets developers pull CrowdStrike threat intelligence and security context directly into their coding workflows during application development.

The integration ties into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM and Falcon Cloud Security to protect non-human identities and govern data flows within AWS environments.

Networking gets an upgrade too. CrowdStrike is adding AWS PrivateLink cross-region support, letting organizations route Falcon platform traffic entirely within the AWS network rather than over the public internet.

Quick Start connectors for Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon Simple Storage Service access logs are also being added to streamline onboarding.

Building on Recent Momentum

The AWS expansion isn’t happening in isolation. CrowdStrike recently earned AWS Agentic AI Specialization Partner status, and this announcement deepens that relationship further.

Project QuiltWorks itself is also expanding beyond AWS. CrowdStrike has been extending its Falcon AI Detection and Response platform across other AI gateway partners including Databricks, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.

The company has also been building out identity security. Its Continuous Identity for AI Agents feature, launched recently, authorizes AI agent actions in real-time based on agent owner, caller, and device risk.

On the analyst side, Piper Sandler holds an Overweight rating on CRWD. 27 analysts have recently revised their earnings estimates upward, according to InvestingPro data.

CrowdStrike posted revenue of $5.1 billion over the last twelve months, representing 23% growth, with a gross profit margin of 75%.

The company’s most recent press release notes that some referenced services are still in development and subject to change.
