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.

New Self-Help Book 'The Let Them Theory' Promises Life Change

The book, which has sold millions globally, encourages readers to "let them, it's theirs" to live their own lives. While praised for its accessibility and practical advice on managing stress and relationships, its effectiveness is not guaranteed. The article suggests a rise in demand for such books in Israel may be linked to the current security situation.
