CrowdStrike to Acquire Onum, Boosting Falcon Next-Gen SIEM with AI-Powered Data Intelligence

CrowdStrike, a global leader in cybersecurity and threat intelligence, has announced its intent to acquire Onum, a pioneer in real-time telemetry pipeline management. The acquisition is set to supercharge Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM, positioning it as the most advanced cloud-native SIEM platform designed for AI-driven SOC transformation.

According to George Kurtz, CEO and founder of CrowdStrike, the move will eliminate onboarding friction, optimize data pipelines, and deliver autonomous detection capabilities that help organizations stop breaches at the speed of AI. He emphasized that Onum acts as both a data pipeline and a filter, streaming high-quality, filtered telemetry directly into the Falcon platform, giving customers complete control over their security and IT observability data.

Why Onum Matters for Falcon Next-Gen SIEM

Onum’s proprietary stateless, in-memory architecture makes it the perfect complement to Falcon. It offers unmatched speed, scale, and real-time security analytics, significantly outperforming legacy SIEM platforms. By bringing AI-powered threat detection directly to third-party data sources, Onum starts security analysis before data even enters the Falcon ecosystem.

Breakthrough Capabilities for Modern SOCs

• Speed: Processes up to 5x more events per second compared to competitors.
• Cost Optimization: Smart filtering cuts data storage costs by up to 50%.
• Faster Response: Real-time pipeline detection accelerates incident response by 70% with 40% less ingestion overhead.

Traditionally, SOCs faced challenges in migrating data into Next-Gen SIEMs, often relying on costly third-party tools. With Onum, CrowdStrike removes these bottlenecks, delivering native data streaming, in-pipeline detection, and scalable security intelligence directly within the Falcon platform.

Pedro Castillo, CEO of Onum, stated, “Pipelines should not just transport data, they should transform it into real-time security intelligence. By joining CrowdStrike, we can achieve this at global scale, empowering organizations to modernize their SOCs with AI-powered cybersecurity.”

This acquisition reinforces CrowdStrike’s mission to make Falcon the operating system of cybersecurity, delivering advanced SOC automation, AI-powered threat detection, and cost-efficient cloud-native security that legacy SIEM solutions cannot match.
