Security becomes a shared job as AI widens the attack surface
Cloud providers and security companies are being pulled into tighter formation as artificial intelligence widens the enterprise attack surface faster than any single supplier can cover it. The AWS CrowdStrike partnership is one of the clearest examples, built over a decade of co-selling, native integrations and shared customers now being stress-tested by agentic workloads. That […] The post…
As artificial intelligence expands the enterprise attack surface, cloud providers and security companies are collaborating more closely to address the growing threats. The partnership between AWS and CrowdStrike, which has evolved over a decade of joint efforts, is a prime example of this shift. Mona Chadha, AWS's director of AI and strategic partnerships, explained that the relationship has transformed from infrastructure support to joint defense of models, agents, and the services ecosystem surrounding them.
Customers are now building agents on cloud infrastructure, increasing the scope of protection required. Both companies recognize that the challenge is not only in addressing the threats but also in building secure systems to begin with. CrowdStrike's Project QuiltWorks, a coalition of partners leveraging AWS's platform, aims to accelerate the time from discovery to remediation down to minutes through AI-driven tools like Falcon IQ.
Chadha emphasized that security should always be built in from the start, serving as the "job zero" for agents and models. As the attack surface expands, this collaborative approach becomes increasingly crucial in safeguarding enterprise environments.
