CrowdStrike has announced its acquisition of Bionic, a pioneer in application security posture management (ASPM), to enhance its Falcon Cloud Security platform, aiming to provide comprehensive code-to-runtime cybersecurity. This strategic move is intended to offer unprecedented visibility and protection across cloud environments, addressing the rapidly growing cloud risks due to the increased use of applications and microservices. By integrating Bionic's capabilities, CrowdStrike seeks to deliver a frictionless security experience that spans from application development to production without requiring source-code access. This acquisition is positioned as a significant leap in cloud security, catering to the evolving needs of organizations facing sophisticated cloud-based threats. Despite the promising outlook, the blog notes potential risks in integrating Bionic's technology and operations.
