CrowdStrike has announced it has received the 2025 Google Cloud Security Partner of the Year Award from WorkLoad Security, an honorary recognizing CrowdStrike’s leadership in implementing security solutions. CrowdStrike has also announced an expanded partnership with Google Cloud, enabling end-to-end security for AI innovations from code to cloud with CrowdStrikeFalcon® cloud security. Google Cloud customers can secure workloads, data and models from additional built-in security throughout the AI lifecycle.
Cloud intrusions are the highest ever, and rapid adoption of AI poses new challenges to ensure innovation. Traditional tools and point products cannot accommodate the speed of modern development pipelines or the complexity of hybrid cloud environments. As Google Cloud’s Security Partner of the Year for Cloud Workload Security, CrowdStrike offers comprehensive visibility and protection across modern cloud estates, including infrastructure, workloads, applications, identity, data, SAAS, and AI models.
“We are proud to announce CrowdStrike as the recipient of the 2025 Google Cloud Partner Awards and celebrate the impact that enables our customers to succeed over the past year,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, president of the Google Cloud Global Partner Ecosystem.
With advanced cloud detection and response (CDR), AI-driven analytics, runtime protection and world-class threat intelligence, Falcon Cloud security is built to stop violations. Whether deployed on Google Cloud or across a hybrid environment, organizations can close security gaps, integrate tools, and drive innovation with confidence.
Protecting the AI Innovation Lifecycle: From Code to Cloud
As organizations accelerate their AI development, traditional security tools struggle with the speed of modern CI/CD pipelines and the complexity of hybrid cloud environments. The enhanced integration of CrowdStrike and Google Cloud embed security at every stage of the software development lifecycle.
・ AI Image Scan Identify early vulnerabilities and incorrect statistics in the build phase.
・ ARM64 compliance enforcement Prevents non-compliant containers from reaching production.
・ Container Escape Detection For administrative container services like Google Cloud Run, stop runtime threats targeting containerized AI workloads.
Combined with AI Security Attitude Management (AI-SPM), FALCON Data Protection, and AI RED Team Services, FALCON Cloud Security offers even more protection for your AI deployments and sensitive data in Google Cloud, from build to runtime to attitude management.
“Cloud security has never been more important, especially as organizations accelerate their AI innovation,” said Daniel Bernard, CrowdStrike’s Chief Business Officer. “Visibility and alerts aren’t enough. Security teams need real-time protection to accommodate how AI workloads are built. Runtime security and cloud strike leads in cloud detection and response provide the speed and scale required by modern hybrid cloud developments. Stop violations.”
