CrowdStrike to Acquire Seraphic, Extending Falcon to In‑Session Browser Security

Closing is targeted for Q1 of fiscal 2027, with plans to fuse browser telemetry with identity signals for continuous zero‑trust controls.

Overview

  • CrowdStrike signed a definitive agreement to buy Seraphic Security, a browser runtime security firm, with payment primarily in cash plus a stock component subject to vesting.
  • The company expects the deal to close in its first quarter of FY’27, pending customary conditions, and Forbes reports an approximate $420 million valuation.
  • CrowdStrike says it will integrate Seraphic’s browser‑native protection with Falcon telemetry and SGNL’s continuous authorization to provide in‑session enforcement across managed and unmanaged devices.
  • Planned capabilities include securing GenAI access at the browser layer, continuous identity‑driven verification, next‑gen web data loss prevention, and disruption of session‑based threats.
  • CEO George Kurtz said the goal is to decouple security from the browser to make any browser a secure enterprise browser, addressing a long‑standing blind spot where much daily work occurs.
