The acquisition is set to eliminate data migration bottlenecks and boost the Falcon platform with faster, AI-driven detection.
CrowdStrike has announced plans to acquire Onum, a specialist in real-time telemetry pipeline management, in a move aimed at enhancing its Falcon Next-Gen SIEM platform with more autonomous detection capabilities.
George Kurtz, CEO and founder of CrowdStrike, said the deal will give customers unprecedented control over their data.
“Our Next-Gen SIEM is the engine that powers the modern SOC, and data is the fuel that makes the engine run,” Kurtz said in a statement.
“Onum is both a pipeline and a filter, which will stream high-quality, filtered data directly into the platform to drive autonomous cyber security at scale. This is how we stop breaches at the speed of AI while giving customers complete control over their entire data ecosystem – well beyond cyber security.”
Onum’s stateless, in-memory architecture is designed for speed, scale and efficiency. The company claims its technology can deliver up to five times more events per second than competitors, cut storage costs by as much as 50 per cent, and reduce incident response times by up to 70 per cent with 40 per cent less ingestion overhead.
By embedding Onum’s pipeline technology directly into the Falcon platform, CrowdStrike said it can eliminate the need for third-party tools and provide native real-time data streaming and in-pipeline detection.
Pedro Castillo, founder and CEO of Onum, said the acquisition aligns with the company’s original mission.
“Onum was founded on the belief that pipelines should do more than transport data, they should transform data into real-time intelligence,” Castillo said.
“By joining CrowdStrike, we can deliver this vision at unprecedented scale to accelerate SOC transformation on a global scale. I’m incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished in defining real-time telemetry pipeline management, and we look forward to bringing that innovation to the Falcon platform.”
CrowdStrike positioned the move as a major step in its push to make Falcon the “operating system of cyber security”, underpinning AI-driven SOC transformation and extending its reach beyond traditional security use cases into broader IT observability.
