CrowdStrike to Acquire Seraphic, Turning Any Browser into a Secure Enterprise Browser
Share
CrowdStrike has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Seraphic Security, the leader in browser runtime security. The web browser has become where work, communication, and productivity happen. It is where modern applications execute and AI agents operate. Extending the power of the Falcon® platform to the browser makes it off-limits to adversaries and safe for the human and agentic workforce.
By integrating Seraphic’s browser-native protection with the Falcon platform’s vast endpoint telemetry and threat intelligence and SGNL’s continuous authorization technology, CrowdStrike will deliver a unified Next-Gen Identity Security strategy. This will create a seamless security fabric that protects every interaction from the endpoint, through the browser session, and into the cloud.
The browser remains a critical cybersecurity blind spot. Yet, 85% of the workday is spent there.1 Existing security models either force users into "walled garden" enterprise browsers or rely on high-latency network routing. Seraphic disrupts this by enforcing security directly within any browser runtime – Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, or agentic browsers on both managed and unmanaged devices.
With Seraphic, CrowdStrike transforms the SOC by correlating trillions of endpoint signals with deep, in-session browser telemetry. This allows the Falcon platform to understand user intent, application context, and data flow in real time.
When paired with SGNL’s continuous authorization, access decisions are no longer static. Permissions are dynamically granted per session and per risk signal – and immediately revoked as needed – stopping attacks before impact.
The integration of Seraphic into the Falcon platform will deliver differentiated capabilities for the modern, AI-driven enterprise:
Protect Enterprise AI at the Browser Layer: Secure how GenAI applications and agents are accessed, preventing shadow AI from scraping or exfiltrating sensitive corporate data.
In-Session Zero Trust Enforcement: Move beyond the login screen with continuous, identity-driven verification and dynamic policy controls that follow the user through every tab.
Next-Gen Web DLP: Prevent the copying, uploading, or screen-grabbing of sensitive data using AI-based content filtering and granular execution-layer controls.
Disruption of Session-Based Threats: Stop session hijacking, sophisticated phishing, and man-in-the-browser attacks at the point of execution by randomizing the browser's JavaScript engine.
Unmanaged and BYOD Security: Provide "agentless-style" protection for contractors and third parties by securing the browser session without requiring a full endpoint agent.
The purchase price is contemplated to be paid predominantly in cash and includes a portion to be delivered in the form of stock subject to vesting conditions. The proposed acquisition is expected to close during CrowdStrike’s first quarter of FY’27, subject to customary closing conditions.

Amplitude Acquires InfiniGrow to Bring Revenue Analytics to Marketers
Sydney Australia – 15 January 2026 – Amplitude, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMPL) has acquired InfiniGrow, an AI marketing analytics company. The acquisition reinforces Amplitude’s focus on making analytics actionable and helping marketers move faster, make smarter decisions, and drive business outcomes from a single platform.
Marketers have more data than ever, but acting on it is hard. Too often, insights live in dashboards while decisions happen somewhere else. The InfiniGrow team will help Amplitude close that gap by evolving analytics from reporting on what already happened into actionable insights that help teams measure, forecast, and optimise the impact of marketing on revenue.
Across today’s marketing teams, analysts play a critical role in defining sessions, connecting customer journeys, and maintaining trust in the data. To strengthen that foundation, Amplitude is doubling down on session-based analytics by making sessions first-class across the platform and preserving session context over time. This ensures marketing actions are rooted in accurate insights and clearly tied to real business outcomes. Without that foundation, action becomes guesswork.
InfiniGrow’s AI-powered marketing analytics builds on this foundation by helping teams measure, forecast, and optimise how marketing drives revenue. With advanced what-if analysis and scenario modeling, marketers can explore tradeoffs, test assumptions, and iteratively plan and allocate budgets using AI-driven forecasts.

DoiT Acquires SELECT to Eliminate Snowflake Waste
This acquisition is part of DoiT’s $250 million AI investment strategy and brings intelligent optimization and automation to data platform workloads
SANTA CLARA, Calif., December 15, 2025 – DoiT, a global leader in enterprise-grade FinOps and CloudOps solutions, today announced the acquisition of SELECT, a data optimization company purpose-built to help organizations gain visibility and control over data platform spend, starting with Snowflake.
The acquisition represents a strategic milestone within DoiT’s previously announced $250 million AI investment strategy and builds on recent acquisitions, including LiveDiagrams, PerfectScale and CloudWize. Together, these investments position DoiT as the most comprehensive platform for managing cost, performance and governance across the modern cloud stack.
Data platforms have rapidly become one of the fastest-growing and least transparent areas of cloud spend. While many organizations have mature tools and practices for infrastructure FinOps, data teams are often left managing fluctuating warehouse usage, inefficient queries and opaque billing with limited automation or governance.
SELECT was built to solve this problem.
For SELECT customers, there is no change. Contracts, pricing, support channels, and product functionality remain the same, and the SELECT team will continue to build and operate the platform. Over time, customers will gain access to broader DoiT capabilities and integrations while maintaining continuity in service, reliability and roadmap execution.
For DoiT customers, SELECT’s technology will be integrated into the DoiT Cloud Intelligence™ platform as PerfectScale™ for Snowflake, extending FinOps automation into the data layer. PerfectScale for Snowflake delivers deep visibility into Snowflake usage and applies policy-driven automation to safely reduce waste without compromising performance or data quality.
“Data platforms have become a financial black box for many organizations,” said Vadim Solovey, CEO of DoiT. “With SELECT, we are applying the same automation-first approach that transformed infrastructure FinOps to data platforms. PerfectScale for Snowflake gives customers consistent visibility, governance and optimization across their entire cloud estate, not just compute.”
Founded by experienced data engineers, SELECT automatically detects inefficiencies such as misconfigured compute resources, inefficient queries and misaligned resource usage. Unlike traditional reporting tools, the platform continuously enforces optimization policies in real time, translating detailed query and resource telemetry into clear, actionable business outcomes.
“From day one, our mission was to eliminate data platform waste without creating more work for engineering teams,” said Ian Whitestone, CEO of SELECT. “Joining DoiT allows us to scale that mission globally while accelerating our roadmap to support additional data platforms, including environments like Databricks. Together, we are giving customers a single control plane to manage cost and performance across infrastructure and data.”
Under DoiT, PerfectScale for Snowflake will become a core pillar of the DoiT Cloud Intelligence platform, unifying data platform optimization with budgets, cost allocation, anomaly detection and automated workflows. Customers will benefit from AI-assisted recommendations that analyze cloud and data telemetry together to execute safe, high-impact optimization actions.
The SELECT team will join DoiT and lead the continued development of PerfectScale for Snowflake, playing a central role in DoiT’s long-term roadmap for automated data platform optimization.

Cloudflare Acquires Astro to Accelerate the Future of High-Performance Web Development
Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), the leading connectivity cloud company, today announced that The Astro Technology Company team, the creators of the Astro web framework, will be joining Cloudflare. Astro is a popular JavaScript web framework used by major brands like Unilever, Visa, and NBC News, as well as hundreds of thousands of developers, to build fast, content-driven websites. Astro will remain open source to ensure the long-term growth and development of the project under Cloudflare’s stewardship. With the Astro team joining Cloudflare, the companies are doubling down on a sustainable future for Astro to remain the definitive framework for content-driven websites.
Search engines prioritize fast-loading, clean pages, and consumers today expect seemingly instant load times from the web pages they visit. Websites that rely heavily on JavaScript for initial rendering often struggle to deliver this speed, hurting search rankings and customer conversions. With Astro, each web page loads only the most critical code that is needed to display a page in a browser. This makes Astro the preferred choice for building high-performance, content-driven websites optimized for speed.
“Protecting and investing in open source tools is critical to the health of a functioning, free, and open Internet,” said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare. “By acquiring this talented team and committing to one of the most impactful frameworks when it comes to speed and performance, we’re going to ensure Astro continues to be the best web framework for content-driven websites, not only as it is today but for years to come.”
“Joining Cloudflare allows us to accelerate Astro’s development faster and on a much larger scale,” said Fred Schott, CEO of The Astro Technology Company. “Astro will continue to be the best way for developers to build content-driven websites, whether they host on Cloudflare or elsewhere.”
Astro is already the backbone for successful platforms like Webflow and Wix that run on Cloudflare. Astro introduced the beta release of Astro 6 this week, which brings support for additional JavaScript runtimes, improves performance and speeds up build times. Cloudflare is also committed to continuing to support open-source contributions, via the Astro Ecosystem Fund, alongside industry partners including Webflow, Netlify, Wix and Sentry.
