CrowdStrike announced it has agreed to acquire Preempt Security, provider of zero trust and conditional access technology for real-time access control and threat prevention.
Together, CrowdStrike and Preempt will provide a modern zero trust security architecture and threat protection to keep organizations' users, endpoints, and data safe from modern attacks, without compromising productivity or the user experience.
With this acquisition, CrowdStrike plans to offer customers enhanced zero trust security capabilities and strengthen the CrowdStrike Falcon platform with conditional access technology.
"With the addition of Preempt Security's capabilities, the CrowdStrike Falcon platform will provide enhanced protection against identity-based attacks and insider threats," said George Kurtz, co-founder and chief executive officer of CrowdStrike.
"Combining Preempt's identity security expertise with CrowdStrike's incredible scale and threat telemetry, we will be able to offer customers complete protection for hybrid workloads and remote workforces wherever they are."
