CrowdStrike wants to buy the application security posture management (ASPM) outift Bionic.
The move is part of Crowdstrike’s cunning plan to extend its cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) with ASPM to deliver comprehensive risk visibility and protection across the cloud- from cloud infrastructure to the applications and services running inside them.
If it pulls it off, CrowdStrike will be one of the first cybersecurity companies to deliver complete code-to-runtime cloud security from one unified platform.
The deal comes on the heels of CrowdStrike’s rather brilliant financial results.
CrowdStrike chief executive officer George Kurtz said that the cloud is cybersecurity’s new battleground, but the industry’s answer to-date has been disjointed point security tools or ‘platforms’ with multiple consoles and agents.
“We are delivering what customers need: modern protection to address cloud security risk comprehensively, through one unified platform. We pioneered cybersecurity for the cloud era, and the addition of Bionic further extends our cloud security leadership on our mission of stopping breaches,” Kurtz said.
Bionic CEO Idan Ninyo said his company was founded on the core premise that when it comes to application risk, you can’t protect what you can’t see.
“We have built a ‘Google Maps for your Apps’, delivering a complete picture of application security risk in a truly frictionless way that does not interfere with the development process,” he said..
“CrowdStrike has taken the mantle as the modern cybersecurity platform of choice and the company to beat in the cloud security market. Its strength and scale as a market leader and innovator will help us dramatically accelerate the adoption of ASPM by every business and organization on the planet,” he added.
