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.
