HCLTech and CrowdStrike Expand Strategic Partnership to Advance AI Security and Resilience
NEW YORK, NOIDA, India, and AUSTIN, Texas – September 14, 2026 – HCLTech, a leading global technology company, and CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced an expansion of their strategic partnership to advance AI security and resilience by integrating CrowdStrike Falcon® Guardian with HCLTech’s AI Security and Resilience services.
Together, HCLTech and CrowdStrike combine Falcon Guardian with HCLTech's cybersecurity advisory, AI governance, implementation and managed services delivered through HCLTech's Cybersecurity Fusion Centers, to help enterprises secure AI applications, models, agents, identities and data while improving visibility into emerging risks.
Building on the Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) services launched in March 2026, the expanded partnership brings AI security deeper into enterprise security operations. It combines Falcon Guardian's AI Detection and Response (AIDR) capabilities with HCLTech's TRiBe framework for AI trust, risk governance and resilience, and VERITY Frontier AI Resilience, a cybersecurity operating model that continuously identifies, validates and mitigates exploitable cyber exposure across hybrid environments.
“AI is becoming a new enterprise attack surface, and securing it requires visibility and protection everywhere AI operates,” said Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer, CrowdStrike. “CrowdStrike pioneered AI Detection and Response to secure the full AI attack surface. Together with HCLTech’s global cybersecurity expertise and services, we’re bringing these capabilities to more enterprises as they operationalize AI at scale.”
“The next generation of enterprise security will require organizations to address both sides of the AI risk equation, defending against AI-powered threats while securing the AI systems they deploy,” said Amit Jain, EVP and Global Head of Cybersecurity at HCLTech. “By bringing together our complementary strengths in cybersecurity innovation and enterprise resilience, CrowdStrike and HCLTech are helping organizations scale AI securely and responsibly while driving greater operational resilience and business confidence.”
