Overview
- CrowdStrike agreed to buy SGNL for roughly $740 million, with closing targeted for the first quarter of CrowdStrike’s fiscal 2027 and payment primarily in cash with a portion in stock subject to vesting.
- SGNL’s technology provides a runtime enforcement layer that continuously evaluates risk to grant, deny, or revoke access, eliminating standing privileges through just‑in‑time controls.
- The capabilities will be integrated into Falcon Next‑Gen Identity Security to protect human, non‑human, and AI agent identities across SaaS applications and hyperscaler cloud environments.
- CrowdStrike frames the move as a response to identity becoming the primary attack path as AI agents operate at high speed and privilege, outpacing static access models.
- All SGNL employees will join CrowdStrike, underscoring a strategy to acquire teams and technology in a market moving toward platform consolidation in identity and AI security.
