CrowdStrike has announced plans to acquire Onum, a trailblazer in real-time telemetry pipeline management. This strategic move aims to strengthen the Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, transforming it into a robust, data-driven foundation for advanced cybersecurity and IT operations, while streamlining data onboarding and enhancing autonomous threat detection.

“Our Next-Gen SIEM powers today’s SOCs, and data is what keeps it running,” said George Kurtz, CEO and founder of CrowdStrike. “Onum acts as both a pipeline and a filter, channeling high-quality, refined data straight into our platform. This enables AI-driven cybersecurity at scale and gives customers complete visibility and control over their data ecosystem, extending well beyond traditional security.”

Falcon Platform: Redefining Cybersecurity Operations

CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform continues to establish itself as the de facto operating system for cybersecurity. Organizations leveraging Falcon Next-Gen SIEM are increasingly harnessing its native, hyper-scalable data architecture to tackle complex security and IT observability challenges. With AI-driven SOC transformation capabilities, Falcon offers operational efficiency, rapid detection, and agility unmatched by conventional solutions.

Onum: Driving Intelligence at the Source

Onum’s proprietary stateless, in-memory design complements Falcon Next-Gen SIEM by delivering speed, scalability, and efficiency in data onboarding. Its platform enables pre-emptive detection directly within data pipelines, providing AI-powered insights before information enters the Falcon ecosystem. This integration ensures organizations can act on threats faster while maintaining full control of their security and observability data.

Key Advantages of the Acquisition

  • Accelerated Processing: Handles up to five times more events per second than competitors, processing security and observability data in real time.
  • Cost Optimization: Intelligent filtering can reduce data storage expenses by up to 50 percent.
  • Faster Incident Response: Pipeline-level detection allows organizations to respond up to 70 percent quicker, with 40 percent less ingestion overhead.

Removing the Data Migration Barrier

Data integration into Next-Gen SIEM platforms has always been a significant bottleneck that frequently calls for outside tools. With Onum, CrowdStrike eliminates this challenge, providing seamless native data streaming and in-pipeline detection, reducing friction and cost while accelerating SOC transformation.

“Onum was built on the principle that pipelines should do more than move data—they should turn it into actionable intelligence,” said Pedro Castillo, founder and CEO of Onum. “Joining forces with CrowdStrike allows us to scale this vision globally, advancing SOC transformation and embedding real-time telemetry intelligence directly into the Falcon platform.”
