Zip Security Joins CrowdStrike Coalition to Shield SMBs From AI Threats

While large enterprises have long relied on CrowdStrike to manage complex digital threats, smaller organizations often struggle with the cost and expertise required to maintain similar standards. Zip Security addresses this imbalance by integrating its managed platform into the QuiltWorks coalition. By automating vulnerability discovery and risk prioritization, the partnership allows smaller firms to leverage the same adversarial-informed defense used by global giants without needing additional headcount or specialized security staff.

Joshua Zweig, CEO and co-founder of Zip Security, noted that while the cost of launching a cyberattack has collapsed, the price of effective defense remains prohibitively high for the average business. Through this coalition, Zip provides a turnkey solution that defines security frameworks, deploys controls, and maintains 24/7 oversight. The platform utilizes AI models from partners like OpenAI and Anthropic to identify vulnerabilities, ensuring that protection is managed behind the scenes. This approach allows business owners to access compliance evidence and threat mitigation without the burden of manual security operations.
