CrowdStrike Acquires Identity Security Startup SGNL in $740 Million Deal

CrowdStrike will acquire SGNL to bolster Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security with continuous, context-aware authorization, zero standing privileges, and a unified identity control plane spanning human, non-human, and AI identities across cloud and SaaS environments. The integration adds governance via Falcon Fusion SOAR and extends just-in-time access to platforms like AWS IAM and Okta, aiming to reduce the identity attack surface and address risks from expanding machine and AI agent identities.
