CrowdStrike Holdings and HCLTech have broadened their strategic partnership by launching Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) services, a joint offering that delivers continuous, intelligence‑driven identification, prioritization, and remediation of exposure across endpoints, cloud, identity, applications, and data.
CTEM builds on CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform and HCLTech’s managed security capabilities, including the VERITY framework and AI Force platform, to provide a unified solution that blends real‑time threat detection with proactive exposure management. The integration enables enterprises to maintain an always‑on view of risk and address vulnerabilities in a structured manner.
HCLTech, a global IT services firm with over 226,300 employees in 60 countries, reported consolidated revenue of $14.5 billion for the 12 months ending December 2025. The company’s VERITY framework and AI Force platform underpin its managed security services, positioning it to operationalize CrowdStrike’s threat intelligence and AI‑driven insights across client environments.
CrowdStrike’s Q4 FY2026 results showed revenue of $1.31 billion, up 23 % year‑over‑year, and earnings per share of $1.12, beating analyst expectations of $0.74. The earnings beat was driven by strong demand for the Falcon platform and disciplined cost management that preserved margins despite a 4 % increase in operating expenses.
Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer of CrowdStrike, said, "Falcon Exposure Management gives organizations the real‑time visibility and AI‑driven insights they need to reduce and prioritize risk at scale." Amit Jain, EVP and Global Head of Cybersecurity at HCLTech, added, "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 partnership expansion aligns with CrowdStrike’s platform‑centric strategy and deepens its relationship with a leading global IT services firm, potentially opening new revenue streams and reinforcing the company’s focus on integrated, AI‑driven security solutions for large enterprises. By extending its footprint beyond endpoint protection, CrowdStrike positions itself to capture demand for continuous risk management across the entire security stack.
The launch of CTEM reflects a broader industry shift toward continuous, intelligence‑led risk management in hybrid IT environments. By combining CrowdStrike’s real‑time threat detection with HCLTech’s managed services expertise, the joint offering differentiates itself from competitors by providing a comprehensive, always‑on exposure management solution that spans endpoints, cloud, identity, applications, and data.
