CrowdStrike Holdings announced a definitive agreement to acquire Seraphic Security for an estimated $420 million, a mix of cash and stock subject to vesting conditions. The deal, expected to close in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, will integrate Seraphic’s browser‑runtime protection with CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform and SGNL’s continuous identity technology, creating a unified next‑generation identity and browser security strategy.
The acquisition addresses a long‑standing blind spot in enterprise security: the browser. With roughly 85% of the workday spent in web browsers, Seraphic’s runtime protection embeds security directly into Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, and agentic browsers, enabling zero‑trust protection without forcing users to switch to a corporate browser or routing traffic through a high‑latency network. By combining this capability with SGNL’s continuous authorization engine, CrowdStrike can deliver dynamic, risk‑based access controls that adapt in real time to user behavior and threat signals.
The browser security market is growing rapidly, and CrowdStrike’s prior investment in Seraphic—through its Falcon Fund in January 2025—and the availability of Seraphic’s solution on the CrowdStrike Marketplace in September 2025 laid the groundwork for the acquisition. The move follows CrowdStrike’s recent $740 million purchase of SGNL, reinforcing the company’s strategy to eliminate standing privileges and secure AI‑driven workloads across endpoints, identity, and the cloud.
George Kurtz, CrowdStrike’s CEO, said the integration will “turn any browser into a secure enterprise browser, without forcing change or slowing productivity.” Ilan Yeshua, Seraphic’s CEO, added that joining CrowdStrike “brings platform‑level protection to the most important execution layer in the enterprise.”
Financially, the transaction will be funded primarily with cash, with a portion of the purchase price paid in stock that will vest over time. The deal expands CrowdStrike’s portfolio into a high‑growth segment and strengthens its single‑agent architecture, positioning the company to capture a larger share of the enterprise security market as organizations seek comprehensive, zero‑trust solutions that span endpoints, identity, and the browser.
For customers, the acquisition means a seamless extension of Falcon’s threat‑intelligence and AI‑native security capabilities into the browser, providing continuous, in‑session protection that reduces the attack surface and simplifies security management across the organization.
