CrowdStrike and HCLTech Expand Strategic Partnership with AI-Powered Continuous Threat Exposure Management Services

Key Terms

continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) technical

Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) is an ongoing program that identifies, ranks and reduces an organization’s security weaknesses by continuously scanning systems, testing defenses and tracking fixes until risks are lowered. For investors, CTEM is like a building’s routine maintenance: it helps prevent costly breaches, regulatory fines and business disruption, and therefore protects a company’s cash flow, reputation and long‑term value.

genai technical

Generative AI (genai) is a type of artificial intelligence designed to create new content, such as text, images, or music, that resembles human-produced work. It matters to investors because it has the potential to transform industries by automating tasks, enhancing creativity, and enabling new products and services, which can influence company performance and market opportunities.

attack surface technical

The attack surface is the collection of points where a company's digital systems, devices, or networks can be accessed, misused, or breached — think of it as the number of doors and windows a thief could try. A larger or more complex attack surface raises the chance of a costly security breach, which can lead to direct losses, regulatory fines, and damage to customer trust and the company's stock value, so investors watch it as a measure of operational and cybersecurity risk.

AUSTIN, Texas & NEW YORK & NOIDA, India--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) and HCLTech today announced an expansion of their strategic partnership with the launch of Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) services. This joint offering enables continuous, intelligence-led identification, prioritization, and remediation of exposure across endpoints, cloud, identity, applications, and data, helping enterprises maintain an always-on view of exposure and address risk in a more structured and timely manner.

As part of this expanded partnership, CrowdStrike and HCLTech combine advanced adversary intelligence with AI‑driven threat detection to operationalize real‑time insights by correlating exposure, threat, and cloud posture signals.

Powered by the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, patented ExPRT.AI, and agentic innovation, Falcon® Exposure Management rapidly identifies and prioritizes vulnerabilities most likely to be exploited based on adversary activity and real-world attack paths. HCLTech applies these prioritized insights through its VERITY framework and AI Force, its GenAI-led service transformation platform, to accelerate remediation and continuously reduce attack surface risk across the enterprise.

“Falcon Exposure Management gives organizations the real-time visibility and AI-driven insights they need to reduce and prioritize risk at scale,” said Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer, CrowdStrike. “HCLTech’s services expertise makes them the right partner to deliver this capability to customers globally. Together, we’re helping security teams move faster, consolidate operations, and stay ahead of adversaries.”
