Infosys brings enterprise context to CrowdStrike’s AI security push

The partnership has deepened this year as Project QuiltWorks grows beyond its initial members to include more technology and services partners. The coalition now serves as the onboarding path for newer CrowdStrike offerings such as SafeMind, the red team and blue team models the company introduced at Fal.Con, Agarwal said.

Agarwal has spent 21 years at Infosys, most of it helping enterprise clients defend their brands and operations. He described the challenge of AI-era security with what he called the three Vs: “The velocity, the volume and the vulnerabilities. It was earlier hours, now minutes, sometimes even seconds.”

He said the industry faces a “nail and sledgehammer problem” in which security teams apply heavy tools to isolated issues while adversaries look at the entire attack surface and move through the spaces between fixes. That gap-focused approach shapes how Infosys structures engagements with customers adopting Falcon for the first time, expanding existing deployments or working through problems the platform has not yet solved.

Agarwal said the core principles of security remain unchanged as AI agents enter the picture. “Zero trust, and what we called the CIA triad back when we started: confidentiality, integrity, availability. Those three things applied to humans. They still apply to agents,” he said.

The interview was part of SiliconANGLE’s and theCUBE’s coverage of the Fal.Con event.
