""As the agentic workforce expands and non-human identities multiply, organizations must ensure they only provide identities with the privileges needed to operate for the amount of time required,""
""a new approach to securing privileged access, one that continuously evaluates identity risk and dynamically grants or revokes access as conditions change.""
""Authentication had become mature and commoditized, but authorization - the critical question of 'what can you do?' versus just 'who are you?' - remained fundamentally broken,""
""Every enterprise struggled with the same challenge: managing access in real-time based on context, not just identity.""
CrowdStrike is acquiring SGNL for $740 million to enhance Falcon cloud security with identity and context-aware authorization capabilities for human, machine, and AI agent identities. The acquisition targets rising identity-based attacks and the proliferation of non-human identities by enabling continuous evaluation of identity risk and dynamic granting or revoking of privileges. SGNL was founded in 2021 by ex-Google engineers Scott Kriz and Erik Gustavson to deliver real-time, context-based authorization. The startup raised $42 million, including a $30 million round in February. Industry analysts view the purchase as a strategic but costly expansion of CrowdStrike's security stack.
