CrowdStrike buys observability and red-teaming for its agent push
CrowdStrike agreed to buy two AI-security startups announced at its Fal.Con Europe conference: Fiddler AI, whose agent observability tools will become Falcon Observe, and Dreadnode, which stress-tests models and agents before deployment. The Wall Street Journal put the combined price at $495 million, about $400 million for Fiddler and $95 million for Dreadnode; CrowdStrike did not disclose terms. Both deals are expected to close in its fiscal fourth quarter.
