[{"type":"text","content":"\nCrowdStrike is expanding the Falcon platform with Continuous Identity, redefining privilege and access for all users everywhere – from human to non-human AI agents\n\n\n AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nCrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire SGNL, a leader in Continuous Identity. This acquisition will accelerate CrowdStrike’s leadership in Next-Gen Identity Security, enabling access for human, non-human (NHI), and AI identities to be continuously granted and revoked based on real-time risk. With SGNL, CrowdStrike will extend dynamic authorization across SaaS and hyperscaler cloud access layers. The combination of dynamic privilege and access coupled with Falcon® platform intelligence sets a new standard for agentic identity security.\n\n\n“AI agents operate with superhuman speed and access, making every agent a privileged identity that must be protected,” said George Kurtz, CEO and founder of CrowdStrike. “With SGNL, CrowdStrike will deliver continuous, real-time access control that eliminates the known and unknown gaps from legacy standing privileges. We’re disrupting the premise of modern privilege and access – for every identity, human or machine. This is identity security built for the AI era.”\n\n\nFalcon Next-Gen Identity Security: Identity Security for the AI Era\n\n\nIdentity security is rapidly becoming one of cybersecurity’s largest and fastest-growing segments. According to IDC, the identity security market is expected to grow from approximately $29 billion in 2025 to $56 billion by 2029.1\n\n\nAs NHIs and the agentic workforce expand, these entities function as high-privilege identities with access to data, applications, compute resources, and other agents. They’re created dynamically in SaaS applications and hyperscaler workloads and operate across distributed cloud access paths. This shift exposes the risk created by legacy access models built on static policies and standing privileges. These models cannot reassess risk or revoke access as threat conditions change, leaving organizations exposed as AI identities operate autonomously. Identity security for the AI era requires a fundamentally different approach, built on continuous risk evaluation and dynamic authorization across modern access paths.\n\n\nFalcon® Next-Gen Identity Security already secures the full...
