CrowdStrike Wins 2025 Google Cloud Security Partner of the Year Award   CrowdStrike  has received the 2025 Google Cloud Security Partner of the Year Award for Workload Security, which recognizes CrowdStrike’s leadership in implementing security solutions. CrowdStrike also announced an expansion of its partnership with Google Cloud to enable end-to-end security for AI innovation – from code to cloud – with  CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security . Google Cloud customers can benefit from additional embedded security across the entire AI lifecycle, securing workloads, data and models. Cloud intrusions are at an  all-time high , and the rapid adoption of AI introduces new challenges to securing innovation. Traditional tools and point products cannot keep pace with 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 delivers comprehensive visibility and protection across the entire modern cloud estate – including infrastructure, workloads, applications, identities, data, SaaS and AI models – all from a single, unified platform. “Google Cloud’s Partner Awards recognize partners who have created outsized value for customers through the delivery of innovative solutions and a high level of expertise,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, President, Global Partner Ecosystem, Google Cloud. “We’re proud to announce CrowdStrike as a 2025 Google Cloud Partner Award winner and celebrate their impact enabling customer success over the past year.” With advanced cloud detection and response (CDR), AI-powered analytics, runtime protection and world-class threat intelligence, Falcon Cloud Security is built to stop the breach. Whether deployed on Google Cloud or across hybrid environments, organizations can close security gaps, consolidate tools and drive innovation with confidence. Securing the AI Innovation Lifecycle: From Code to Cloud As organizations accelerate AI development, traditional security tools struggle to match the speed of modern CI/CD pipelines and the complexity of hybrid cloud environments. Expanded integrations between CrowdStrike and Google Cloud embed security into every stage of the software development lifecycle: AI Image Scanning identifies vulnerabilities and misconfigurations early in the build phase. ARM64 Compliance Enforcement prevents non-compliant containers from reaching production. Container Escape Detection for managed container services like Google Cloud Run stops runtime threats targeting containerized AI workloads. Combined with  AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) ,  Falcon Data Protection  and  AI Red Team Services , Falcon Cloud Security enables end-to-end protection – from build, to runtime, to posture management – to further protect AI deployments and sensitive data on Google Cloud. “Cloud security has never been more critical, especially as organizations accelerate AI innovation,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. “Visibility and alerts alone aren’t enough – security teams need real-time protection that keeps pace with how AI workloads are built and run. CrowdStrike leads in runtime security and cloud detection and response, delivering the speed and scale demanded by modern, hybrid-cloud development. Together with Google Cloud, we’re empowering customers to innovate with confidence, securing the infrastructure, data and models powering the AI revolution – with cloud security’s leading solution that delivers on the promise of stopping breaches.”
