CrowdStrike to Buy Reposify, Invests in Salt Security | SecurityWeek.Com
Summary
The Reposify transaction, which will be paid mostly in cash, gives CrowdStrike an entry point into the lucrative external attack surface management (EASM) market. Based in Israel with offices in San Francisco, Reposify raised $8.5 million in early-stage funding to build scanning technology to help organizations track and manage risk and exposure. CrowdStrike said the Reposify technology will be sold alongside its Threat Intelligence and Security and IT Operations product suites. The technology is meant to address gaps in point-in-time penetration testing and vulnerability management and is a highly competitive category with multiple startups jostling for market share. In addition to the investment, CrowdStrike plans to partner with Salt Security to integrate technologies to apply API discovery and runtime protection on applications, and enable security testing to harden APIs before release.
