CrowdStrike to Acquire Seraphic, Turning Any Browser into a Secure Enterprise Browser

Key Terms

endpoint technical

An endpoint in clinical research is the specific outcome investigators decide in advance to measure whether a treatment is effective or safe, such as symptom improvement, survival time, or a change in a lab value. For investors it matters because meeting or missing these pre-set goals is the main signal regulators and the market use to judge a drug’s prospects—like a race’s finish line that determines if a product can move forward, win approval, and generate revenue.

browser runtime technical

A browser runtime is the built-in engine inside a web browser that actually runs web applications’ code and provides the services those apps need, such as drawing the screen, accessing files, and talking to servers. For investors it matters because the runtime affects how fast, feature-rich, and secure web products behave for users, which directly influences adoption, operating costs and competitive advantage—like the engine under a car’s hood shaping its performance.

soc technical

Standard of care (often abbreviated SOC) is the treatment or management approach that is widely accepted and used by medical professionals for a particular disease or condition. For investors, SOC provides the benchmark against which new therapies, devices, or clinical results are judged—like comparing a new car to the current most popular model; a product that meaningfully outperforms the SOC can win market share and drive revenue, while failure to beat or match it limits commercial potential.

genai technical

Generative AI (genai) is a type of artificial intelligence designed to create new content, such as text, images, or music, that resembles human-produced work. It matters to investors because it has the potential to transform industries by automating tasks, enhancing creativity, and enabling new products and services, which can influence company performance and market opportunities.

zero trust technical

Zero trust is a security approach that assumes no one, whether inside or outside an organization, should be automatically trusted. Instead, every access request is carefully verified before being granted, much like checking ID at every door rather than trusting someone just because they are known. For investors, it emphasizes the importance of protecting digital assets and data from potential breaches, reducing overall risk.

byod technical

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a workplace practice where employees use their personal phones, tablets or laptops to access company systems and data. For investors, BYOD matters because it can lower a business’s equipment costs and boost employee flexibility, but it also raises concerns about data security, regulatory compliance and potential extra spending on IT controls—similar to letting staff use their own cars for work instead of the company buying a fleet.

CrowdStrike will fuse Seraphic’s continuous in-session browser protection with SGNL’s continuous identity to secure every interaction from the endpoint to the browser to the cloud

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Seraphic Security, the leader in browser runtime security. The web browser has become where work, communication, and productivity happen. It is where modern applications execute and AI agents operate. Extending the power of the Falcon® platform to the browser makes it off-limits to adversaries and safe for the human and agentic workforce.

By integrating Seraphic’s browser-native protection with the Falcon platform’s vast endpoint telemetry and threat intelligence and SGNL’s continuous authorization technology, CrowdStrike will deliver a unified Next-Gen Identity Security strategy. This will create a seamless security fabric that protects every interaction from the endpoint, through the browser session, and into the cloud.

“Productivity requires flexibility and security; users want to work in their browser of choice. Seraphic delivers exactly that,” said George Kurtz, CEO and founder of CrowdStrike. “By decoupling security from the browser itself, we can turn any browser into a secure enterprise browser, without forcing change or slowing productivity. With our vast endpoint signals combined with Seraphic’s in-session visibility and SGNL’s dynamic authorization, we are defining the future of Zero Standing Privilege for the modern agentic workforce.”

Securing the New Front Door of the Enterprise

The browser remains a critical cybersecurity blind spot. Yet, 85% of the workday is spent there.¹ Existing security models either force users into "walled garden" enterprise browsers or rely on high-latency network routing. Seraphic disrupts this by enforcing security directly within any browser runtime – Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, or agentic browsers on both managed and unmanaged devices.

The Power of Unified Signals: Endpoint to Browser

With Seraphic, CrowdStrike transforms the SOC by correlating trillions of endpoint signals with deep, in-session browser telemetry. This allows the Falcon platform to understand user intent, application context, and data flow in real time.

When paired with SGNL’s continuous authorization, access decisions are no longer static. Permissions are dynamically granted per session and per risk signal – and immediately revoked as needed – stopping attacks before impact.

Key Advantages for the Agentic Era

The integration of Seraphic into the Falcon platform will deliver differentiated capabilities for the modern, AI-driven enterprise:

• Protect Enterprise AI at the Browser Layer: Secure how GenAI applications and agents are accessed, preventing shadow AI from scraping or exfiltrating sensitive corporate data.
• In-Session Zero Trust Enforcement: Move beyond the login screen with continuous, identity-driven verification and dynamic policy controls that follow the user through every tab.
• Next-Gen Web DLP: Prevent the copying, uploading, or screen-grabbing of sensitive data using AI-based content filtering and granular execution-layer controls.
• Disruption of Session-Based Threats: Stop session hijacking, sophisticated phishing, and man-in-the-browser attacks at the point of execution by randomizing the browser's JavaScript engine.
• Unmanaged and BYOD Security: Provide "agentless-style" protection for contractors and third parties by securing the browser session without requiring a full endpoint agent.

“The browser is where modern work happens,” said Ilan Yeshua, CEO and co-founder of Seraphic. “In joining CrowdStrike, we are bringing platform-level protection to the most important execution layer in the enterprise, ensuring that zero trust is a continuous reality, not just a gateway check.”

Transaction Details

The purchase price is contemplated to be paid predominantly in cash and includes a portion to be delivered in the form of stock subject to vesting conditions. The proposed acquisition is expected to close during CrowdStrike’s first quarter of FY’27, subject to customary closing conditions.
