CrowdStrike Acquires Pangea Cyber

CrowdStrike is acquiring Pangea Cyber for about $260 million. Pangea specializes in AI security, especially defending against prompt-injection attacks, where malicious users try to trick large-language models (LLMs) into generating unsafe or disallowed content.

As more companies adopt AI agents and tools, the attack surface grows. This acquisition is a signal: AI security is not optional—it’s becoming essential.

Key implications:

Video platforms and creators will need to pay more attention to how prompts are handled, especially for content moderation

There will be growing demand for tools that audit AI-generated content for safety and compliance

Affiliates and creators promoting AI tools might see more regulations around how they present claims or functionality

This is also content territory you can own: create videos or posts comparing safe vs unsafe AI tools, what prompt-injection means, or how to vet tools for your affiliate picks.
