Descriptiontext

Adaptive Shield, founded in 2018 in Tel Aviv, Israel, developed a SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) platform designed to give enterprises continuous visibility and control over the security configurations, identities, and data exposure risks across their SaaS applications. The platform was built around an extensive library of more than 3,500 unique application hardening and configuration checks covering over 200 SaaS applications, with capabilities spanning misconfiguration detection, identity and access management, third-party app risk assessment, data exposure control, automated compliance reporting, and automated remediation. The company focused on Fortune 500 enterprises as its primary customer segment, applying a horizontal segmentation strategy to address SaaS governance pain points across industries.

In fiscal year 2025 (deal closed February 23, 2026), CrowdStrike acquired Adaptive Shield for $310.3 million, integrating the technology into its Falcon platform under the Falcon Shield product. Following the acquisition, the Falcon Shield offering is sold through CrowdStrike's enterprise sales motion and bundled across the broader Falcon platform, leveraging CrowdStrike's global distribution, channel ecosystem, and existing endpoint security customer base. Prior to the acquisition, Adaptive Shield had raised approximately $44 million in venture funding across a 2020 seed round from Vertex Ventures Israel, a 2021 $30 million Series A led by Insight Partners with participation from Okta Ventures and Vertex Ventures Israel, and an undisclosed 2023 strategic investment from Blackstone aimed at expanding Fortune 500 reach. Pricing for the SSPM platform was not publicly disclosed, and revenue figures were not made available given the company's private status prior to acquisition. The combined entity addresses the SaaS-as-new-battleground thesis articulated by CrowdStrike, with stated metrics including a 201% ROI per a 2025 Forrester Total Economic Impact study.
