CrowdStrike expands QuiltWorks for frontier AI risk

CrowdStrike has expanded Project QuiltWorks with major cyber insurers and brokers to help organisations manage risks linked to frontier AI.

The Austin-based cybersecurity company said that Lockton, Coalition, Liberty Mutual Insurance, Resilience and Marsh have joined the framework, which is designed to help organisations identify, prioritise, remediate and manage exposure tied to frontier AI systems.

Michelle Faylo, U.S. Cyber & Technology Leader at Lockton, said, “Frontier AI is accelerating how quickly technical exposures become operational and financial impact. Through Project QuiltWorks, Lockton and CrowdStrike are giving our clients the coordinated framework they need to get ahead of frontier AI risk, and the financial protection to manage it.”

CrowdStrike said the latest phase extends QuiltWorks beyond technical defence and into underwriting intelligence, actuarial analysis and claims-oriented risk modelling. The company described the framework as a coordinated model that gives boards and risk teams a more complete view of AI-related exposure.

The company said frontier AI is changing cyber risk economics by speeding up vulnerability discovery and shortening the time available to exploit weaknesses. In response, insurers are pushing organisations to improve security controls, visibility and remediation processes before coverage can be secured or maintained.

Tim MalcomVetter, General Manager, Security at Coalition, said, “Project QuiltWorks extends our approach to frontier AI risk, helping organisations better understand their potential exposure through security intelligence and take action through coordinated remediation before an attack can lead to a financial loss.”

QuiltWorks uses models from OpenAI and Anthropic alongside CrowdStrike’s AI-driven vulnerability discovery and risk prioritisation. The addition of insurers and brokers is intended to help customers better understand potential losses, improve underwriting confidence and create a continuous feedback loop between security teams, insurers and ecosystem partners.

CrowdStrike said the expanded framework combines security, remediation and insurance capabilities to help organisations address emerging AI-related risks as AI technologies continue to evolve.
