"With the acquisition, valued at $740 million, CrowdStrike aims to expand its identity security offering, particularly in cloud environments and AI-driven workloads. The transaction will be financed with a combination of cash and shares. The parties aim to complete the acquisition by the end of April, subject to regulatory approval. According to SiliconANGLE, the acquisition is part of a broader shift within cybersecurity, in which identities are playing an increasingly central role."
"Security is no longer focused exclusively on endpoints and networks, but increasingly on users, services, and software components that have access to data and systems. This includes not only human accounts, but also non-human identities such as workloads, services, and AI agents. CrowdStrike points out that this group of identities is particularly difficult to protect with traditional access models. In many organizations, users and systems retain permanent access to sensitive environments, even when that access is not actively needed."
CrowdStrike is acquiring SGNL for $740 million to expand identity security for cloud environments and AI-driven workloads, with financing via cash and shares and targeted close by the end of April subject to regulatory approval. Identities now include human and non-human accounts such as workloads, services, and AI agents, and these are increasingly central to security beyond endpoints and networks. Traditional access models leave many users and systems with persistent, unnecessary privileges. SGNL enables just-in-time access policies and uses the Continuous Access Evaluation Protocol (CAEP) to continuously evaluate session context and behavior, allowing session termination or additional authentication when risk rises.
