CrowdStrike Deal Values Israeli Firm XM Cyber's Tech at $600 Million

CrowdStrike Deal Values Israeli Firm XM Cyber's Tech at $600 Million

Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike has revealed the full $600 million value of its acquisition of Israeli company XM Cyber's technology, primarily paid in stock. The deal, initially announced in July with only $145 million in cash, has seen its stock component surge due to CrowdStrike's rising share price. XM Cyber, founded by former Mossad chief Tamir Pardo and others, was previously sold to Germany's Schwarz Group for $700 million in 2021. CrowdStrike is acquiring XM Cyber's code and patents, not its revenue or clients.
