Cognizant And CrowdStrike Partner To Leverage AI For Cutting-Edge Cybersecurity

Organisations are constantly changing their IT environments by using a multitude of cloud services, such as IaaS, SaaS, PaaS, and CaaS. However, this only increases their vulnerability to increasingly complex cyberthreats.

That means organisations today require solutions that not only improve security operations but also combine point products to streamline their cybersecurity environments due to the widening cybersecurity skills gap and the growing complexity of the threat landscape.

In order to help enterprises drive this security transformation, tech company Cognizant and cybersecurity provider CrowdStrike have announced a partnership. The collaboration will help deliver cybersecurity services, powered by the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon cybersecurity platform.

Cognizant will work to enable organisations to streamline security operations and threat mitigation, consolidate fragmented legacy point products, reduce the complexity of managing cybersecurity programmes, and strengthen cybersecurity posture by leveraging solutions such as Falcon Next-Gen SIEM and Falcon Cloud Security.

“Cognizant is committed to staying at the forefront of cybersecurity innovation,” said Ravi Kumar S, CEO, Cognizant. “As the enterprise digital landscape evolves, it is crucial to leverage AI for cybersecurity and cloud-native security technologies to help stay ahead of threats and ensure the resilience of our clients' infrastructure.” 

Over the past year, cloud exploitation cases have surged 110%, while the speed and sophistication of cyberattacks continue to accelerate, with breakout times now measured in minutes. The collaboration between Cognizant and CrowdStrike combines the Falcon platform with Cognizant's Neuro Cybersecurity platform, along with threat and vulnerability management and cloud infrastructure security offerings.

This approach is designed to help enterprises create a flexible operations framework for new technology and threats, powered by an AI-native platform rather than separate legacy tools.

“Our partnership with Cognizant delivers cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions that tackle the evolving challenges enterprises face today and tomorrow,” said George Kurtz, CEO and founder, CrowdStrike. “Together, we will drive positive customer outcomes and enhance the security posture of organizations globally.”
