Overview
- CrowdStrike signed a definitive agreement to acquire Seraphic Security, with closing expected in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 pending customary conditions.
- Financial terms were not disclosed, though multiple outlets report an approximate $420 million price, to be paid predominantly in cash with a portion in stock subject to vesting.
- Seraphic’s runtime technology enforces security inside Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox on managed and unmanaged devices without forcing a switch to an enterprise browser.
- CrowdStrike plans to combine Seraphic with the Falcon platform and recently acquired SGNL to enable continuous, in‑session zero‑trust controls, dynamic authorization, next‑gen web DLP, and real‑time extension risk governance.
- The companies highlight defenses against session hijacking and man‑in‑the‑browser attacks via JavaScript engine randomization, along with protections for GenAI tools to curb shadow AI data exposure and support BYOD use cases.
