Cybersecurity leader CrowdStrike (CRWD) has announced the acquisition of two AI security startups, Fiddler AI and Dreadnode, in a combined deal valued at roughly $495 million. The acquisitions aim to bolster CrowdStrike's Falcon platform by providing advanced monitoring, observability, and automated security testing for enterprise AI models and agents. Fiddler AI will be integrated into the platform as 'Falcon Observe' to monitor agent actions, while Dreadnode will enhance 'Falcon Guardian' by automating flaw detection in AI applications before deployment. These moves come as enterprises rapidly adopt AI tools, often outpacing existing security protocols and creating new vulnerabilities for security teams to manage.
