CrowdStrike to Acquire SGNL to Transform Identity Security for the AI Era<\/b><\/p>\n

CrowdStrike is expanding the Falcon platform with Continuous Identity, redefining privilege and access for all users everywhere \u2013 from human to non-human AI agents<\/i><\/p>\n

AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–CrowdStrike<\/a> (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire SGNL<\/a>, a leader in Continuous Identity. This acquisition will accelerate CrowdStrike\u2019s leadership in Next-Gen Identity Security, enabling access for human, non-human (NHI), and AI identities to be continuously granted and revoked based on real-time risk. With SGNL, CrowdStrike will extend dynamic authorization across SaaS and hyperscaler cloud access layers. The combination of dynamic privilege and access coupled with Falcon\u00ae platform<\/a> intelligence sets a new standard for agentic identity security.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAI agents operate with superhuman speed and access, making every agent a privileged identity that must be protected,\u201d said George Kurtz, CEO and founder of CrowdStrike. \u201cWith SGNL, CrowdStrike will deliver continuous, real-time access control that eliminates the known and unknown gaps from legacy standing privileges. We\u2019re disrupting the premise of modern privilege and access \u2013 for every identity, human or machine. This is identity security built for the AI era.\u201d<\/p>\n

Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security: Identity Security for the AI Era<\/b><\/p>\n

\nIdentity security is rapidly becoming one of cybersecurity\u2019s largest and fastest-growing segments. According to IDC, the identity security market is expected to grow from approximately $29 billion in 2025 to $56 billion by 2029.1<\/sup><\/p>\n

\nAs NHIs and the agentic workforce expand, these entities function as high-privilege identities with access to data, applications, compute resources, and other agents. They\u2019re created dynamically in SaaS applications and hyperscaler workloads and operate across distributed cloud access paths. This shift exposes the risk created by legacy access models built on static policies and standing privileges. These models cannot reassess risk or revoke access as threat conditions change, leaving organizations exposed as AI identities operate autonomously. Identity security for the AI era requires a fundamentally different approach, built on continuous risk evaluation and dynamic authorization across modern access paths.<\/p>\n

Falcon\u00ae Next-Gen Identity Security<\/a> already secures the full hybrid identity lifecycle, unifying initial access prevention, privileged access management (PAM), identity threat detection and response (ITDR), SaaS identity security, and agentic identity protection. Falcon correlates identity, asset, and threat intelligence across endpoint, cloud, and SaaS environments, establishing the foundation for continuous, risk-aware authorization at scale.<\/p>\n

Securing Modern Identities with SGNL<\/b><\/p>\n

\nSGNL is the runtime access enforcement layer between modern identity providers and the SaaS and hyperscaler resources that people, NHIs, and AI agents access. Powered by real-time Falcon platform intelligence and risk signals, SGNL will continuously evaluate identity, device, and behavior to dynamically grant, deny, or revoke access as conditions change, eliminating standing privilege access across every identity and environment.<\/p>\n
