CrowdStrike to Acquire Dreadnode to Strengthen AI Security

Crowd Strike has entered into an agreement to acquire Dreadnode, a provider of automated AI security testing. The acquisition will add the ability to test AI models, applications, and agents for vulnerabilities before they are deployed in production to the Falcon platform. Dreadnode’s testing simulates over 100 attack techniques, such as jailbreaks and prompt injection, to uncover vulnerabilities that traditional security testing is unable to detect.

Dreadnode’s testing features include vulnerability detection, scoring and ranking by severity, and allowing users to map findings to frameworks such as OWASP, MITRE ATLAS and NIST AI RMF. Dreadnode’s findings will be sent to Falcon Guardian to enhance runtime protection. Crowd Strike’s team will also join its Cyber Superintelligence Lab. The deal is expected to close in Q4 of FY2027, subject to closing conditions.
