iiTD joins Project QuiltWorks Europe

In recent years, artificial intelligence has changed how cyberattacks are carried out. Modern AI models can analyze vast amounts of software code and find vulnerabilities that have gone unnoticed for years. Both cybersecurity professionals and attackers use these capabilities, with attackers seeking to identify weaknesses in company infrastructure more quickly.

According to CrowdStrike, AI-powered attacks have increased by 89%, while instances of zero-day vulnerabilities being exploited before public disclosure have risen by 42%.

Another striking fact: in 2025, the fastest recorded time for an attacker to move from initial access to lateral movement within a compromised network was just 27 seconds. This means that after gaining initial access, an attacker may need less than half a minute to begin moving through a company’s infrastructure.

Under these conditions, businesses need to understand which vulnerabilities pose the greatest threat and address them promptly. That is the focus of Project QuiltWorks, a CrowdStrike initiative that combines AI technology, expert knowledge, and the capabilities of an international partner ecosystem to identify and address cyber risks faster.

The European Project QuiltWorks partner network has welcomed new members, including iiTD, Almaviva Group, Atos, BT, Computacenter, Deutsche Telekom Security, Grant Thornton UK, Intrinsec, Kudelski Security, Orange Cyberdefense, Serviceware, Stoïk, Strong-IT, Telefónica, and TIM AG. With these companies on board, the initiative is expanding its presence across Europe and bringing together even more expertise and hands-on experience to counter today’s cyber threats.

iiTD’s participation in Project QuiltWorks opens up new opportunities to develop the partner ecosystem and address AI-related cyber risks.

The initiative brings together AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic, NVIDIA technology, CrowdStrike analytics, AWS cloud infrastructure, and the expertise of international partners. This approach makes it possible not only to find hidden vulnerabilities but also to assess the actual risk they pose to businesses and determine which protective measures to prioritize.

For our partners, this means new opportunities above all:

• Building expertise. Access to the knowledge and practices of an international community working to defend against emerging AI-related threats.
• More effective risk management. The opportunity to develop approaches to vulnerability assessment that account for exploitation, attacker activity, and the impact on customers’ businesses.
• New partner capabilities. CrowdStrike is introducing QuiltWorks Sales Pioneer accreditation for professionals who complete four CrowdStrike Sales Associate (CSA) accreditations. This creates additional opportunities for training and building expertise within the partner channel.
• International collaboration. Participation in a broader ecosystem of technology companies, integrators, and cybersecurity professionals working together to counter emerging threats.

A key component of the initiative is Falcon IQ, a platform that helps organize security analysis findings and determine next steps. It models potential attack scenarios, helps prioritize cybersecurity investments, and supports the development of vulnerability remediation plans. Automating some assessment and prioritization processes allows professionals to focus more on critical risks.

As part of the expansion of Project QuiltWorks, CrowdStrike also announced that European partners will gain access to Falcon IQ. This should help them make better use of their expertise and accelerate the work of addressing vulnerabilities in customers’ infrastructure.

In this way, Project QuiltWorks combines the technological capabilities of global companies with the practical expertise of local partners. This collaborative model helps organizations not only obtain information about vulnerabilities but also use it to reduce cyber risks systematically and measurably.

At the same time, the hands-on experience of European partners plays an important role in implementing the initiative. They understand the characteristics of local markets, data protection requirements, and the specifics of their customers’ IT infrastructure. This allows them to tailor cybersecurity recommendations to specific business needs, account for regulatory constraints, and focus resources on the most significant threats.

We are proud that iiTD has become part of Project QuiltWorks alongside leading international cybersecurity companies. For us, this is important recognition of our expertise and another step forward in developing international partnerships.

We sincerely thank CrowdStrike for its trust and the opportunity to join an initiative that brings together technology, experience, and industry-wide efforts for more effective cybersecurity. We value our collaboration and are excited to grow together, creating new opportunities for partners and customers. There is plenty of work ahead, along with new ideas and projects. And we are delighted to be part of this journey!
