CrowdStrike Announces Acquisition of Flow Security: Setting the Standard for Modern Cloud Security

CrowdStrike, a leader in cloud-native cybersecurity, has announced its agreement to acquire Flow Security, a pioneer in data security posture management (DSPM) and the industry’s first and only cloud data runtime security solution. This acquisition marks a significant step towards setting the standard for modern cloud security, offering complete real-time data protection across endpoint and cloud environments.

With businesses increasingly relying on cloud services and creating more data than ever before, the need for robust data security measures has never been greater. Adversaries are targeting sensitive data with increasing aggression, exploiting gaps between cloud platforms and point products. CrowdStrike’s acquisition of Flow Security aims to address these challenges by providing a unified cloud security platform that natively protects data at rest and in motion.

Flow Security’s technology will enhance CrowdStrike’s data security innovation by offering new capabilities to discover, classify, and protect data from the risk of exposure wherever it resides or moves. This acquisition will empower organizations with full visibility into their critical cloud data flows, insight into data interactions with applications, and the ability to detect when data is at risk or leaving the environment unintentionally.

In a landscape where adversaries are exploiting cloud security gaps, the need for comprehensive data protection solutions is paramount. CrowdStrike’s acquisition of Flow Security will enable customers to consolidate cloud point solutions and gain complete visibility and protection of their entire cloud estate, spanning cloud workload protection, cloud security posture management, cloud infrastructure entitlement management, application security posture management, and now DSPM.

CrowdStrike’s commitment to protecting customers’ valuable assets is evident in its continuous innovation in cloud security. The acquisition of Flow Security comes on the heels of CrowdStrike’s acquisition of Bionic, further solidifying its position as a leader in cloud-native cybersecurity. With a focus on providing the most complete data protection offering, CrowdStrike is dedicated to helping businesses secure their data across endpoints, applications, and cloud environments.

As businesses navigate the complexities of modern cyber threats, CrowdStrike’s acquisition of Flow Security represents a significant step towards providing a modern platform for modern businesses. By integrating Flow Security’s DSPM capabilities into the Falcon platform, CrowdStrike is poised to deliver unparalleled data protection solutions to its customers, ensuring their data remains secure in a cloud-first world.
