CrowdStrike to Acquire Seraphic to Secure Work in Any Browser

CrowdStrike has announced its intention to acquire Seraphic, a leader in browser runtime security, to enhance its Falcon platform and extend zero-trust protections into the browser environment. This strategic move will enable secure access to corporate resources across any browser and device, addressing the security challenges posed by distributed workforces that rely heavily on web-based applications and AI tools. The integration of Seraphic's browser-native protection will provide real-time visibility and control within browser sessions, mitigating risks such as credential abuse, session hijacking, and AI-driven threats, while maintaining user productivity without requiring infrastructure changes. Additionally, the acquisition will complement CrowdStrike's recent agreement to acquire SGNL, further strengthening its unified identity security strategy by embedding continuous authorization and context-aware security measures directly within the browser, ensuring a seamless and secure user experience across corporate and contractor devices. This move is part of CrowdStrike's broader effort to secure the modern, AI-powered workforce by transforming the Security Operations Center (SOC) with enhanced correlation of endpoint and browser signals, thereby offering a comprehensive defense against evolving cyber threats.
