CrowdStrike is investing almost half a billion dollars in the protection of AI agents capable of acting independently. On November 3, the firm unveiled its intention to acquire Fiddler AI and Dreadnode for a reported overall price of about $495 million. Both companies specialize in the protection against different kinds of risks related to these agents. The announcement was made during CrowdStrike’s Fal.Con Europe conference held in Barcelona. The company pointed out the perils of AI agents that sometimes make wrong decisions even being equipped with valid credentials. Neither of the acquisitions has been closed so far, and no information on how much the deals cost has become available.
