CrowdStrike Completes Acquisition of SecureCircle to Disrupt the Legacy DLP Market with Next-Gen Data Protection

CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRWD), a leader in cloud-delivered endpoint and workload protection, today announced it has completed its acquisition of SecureCircle, a SaaS-based cybersecurity service that extends Zero Trust security to data on, from and to the endpoint.

CrowdStrike natively enforces Zero Trust protection at the device layer and the identity layer today. With the recently acquired SecureCircle technology, CrowdStrike Falcon will expand its capabilities to enforce Zero Trust at the data layer through an offering that is frictionless to deploy, easy to manage and highly effective, without changing the way users work.

SecureCircle co-founder and CEO, Jeff Capone, and co-founder and CTO, Artem Tsai, are among the key staff joining CrowdStrike.

“I am incredibly excited to have Jeff, Artem and the SecureCircle team join CrowdStrike and our shared mission to stop breaches,” said George Kurtz, co-founder and chief executive officer of CrowdStrike. “With SecureCircle’s technology, CrowdStrike plans to modernize data protection and enable customers to secure data on, from, and to the endpoint. Integrating SecureCircle’s technology will allow us to address a complex problem that we consistently hear about from our customers, data protection, and deliver a revolutionary yet simple solution by enforcing frictionless Zero Trust control at multiple levels, all delivered through CrowdStrike’s lightweight Falcon agent on the endpoint.”
