CrowdStrike and HCLTech have expanded their strategic partnership with the launch of Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) services, aiming to help organisations identify and remediate security exposures across endpoints, cloud, identity, applications and data.
In a joint announcement dated March 31, the companies said the CTEM services are intended to provide “continuous, intelligence-led” identification, prioritisation and remediation of exposure. The approach is designed to support an “always-on view” of exposure and a more structured approach to addressing risk.
The expanded partnership centres on combining adversary intelligence with AI-driven threat detection to correlate exposure, threat and cloud posture signals, with the aim of producing real-time insights that can be acted on operationally.
The companies said the services are powered by the CrowdStrike Falcon platform and CrowdStrike’s ExPRT.AI, with HCLTech applying prioritised insights through its VERITY framework and AI Force platform to support remediation and reduce attack surface risk.
“Falcon Exposure Management gives organisations the real-time visibility and AI-driven insights they need to reduce and prioritise 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.”
“Enterprises today require continuous visibility, contextual prioritisation, and rapid execution to stay resilient,” said Amit Jain, EVP and Global Head of Cybersecurity, HCLTech. “By integrating our AI Force and Agentic AI solutions with the Falcon platform, we are enabling an intelligence-led, autonomous security model that reduces risk and delivers total resilience across the enterprise.”
The move comes as many security teams seek to consolidate tooling and improve prioritisation of vulnerabilities and misconfigurations amid growing attack surface complexity across cloud, identity and endpoint environments. CTEM, a model promoted in recent years as a way to continuously measure and reduce exposure, has become a key focus area for vendors and services firms looking to align vulnerability and posture management with threat intelligence and operational remediation.
