Managed EDR and Investigations: A New Era in Cybersecurity

Managed EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) is a cybersecurity solution that automates the detection and response to threats on endpoints. It provides real-time monitoring and incident response capabilities, making it easier for organizations to investigate and contain threats. Managed EDR can help organizations improve their security posture and reduce the time and resources required for investigations.

CrowdStrike (CRWD), a leading provider of endpoint protection, has announced its acquisition of Pangea, a pioneer in AI security. The deal, valued at an undisclosed amount, aims to integrate Pangea's AI Detection and Response (AIDR) capabilities into CrowdStrike's Falcon platform, marking the industry's first comprehensive AI security solution.

Pangea's technology offers complete AI Detection and Response, providing unified visibility and control over AI agents, workflows, and compliance. This includes protection against prompt injection attacks, model jailbreak attempts, and malicious prompts, with up to 99% efficacy at sub-30ms latency. The platform enforces real-time policies to block risky AI interactions and ensures security is built into AI applications and agents, complementing CrowdStrike's existing Falcon Shield for SaaS agents.

The acquisition will enable CrowdStrike to secure the full AI lifecycle, from development to enterprise use, and help customers scale AI adoption with confidence. Pangea CEO Oliver Friedrichs stated, "We were founded to make AI adoption safe and secure, and joining CrowdStrike will help us deliver this mission globally."

This move is significant for CrowdStrike, which has traditionally been known for its Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions. The integration of Pangea's AIDR capabilities will expand CrowdStrike's offerings, providing a more comprehensive cybersecurity solution for its clients.

CrowdStrike's stock was trading at $446.9 on the NasdaqGS, up 0.48% from the previous day, following the announcement CrowdStrike To Acquire Pangea, Launches Industry's First Complete AI Detection And Response^[1].
