New Delhi: CrowdStrike has announced its plan to acquire Onum, a company specializing in real-time telemetry pipeline management, to enhance its Falcon Next-Gen Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform. The move is aimed at strengthening AI-driven SOC transformation by streamlining data pipelines and enabling faster, more autonomous threat detection. CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz said the integration of Onum’s technology will help organizations address onboarding challenges, optimize data management, and gain greater control over both security and IT observability data.
Onum’s stateless, in-memory architecture is designed for high speed and scalability, enabling real-time analytics that can outperform legacy SIEM systems. By allowing detection to begin directly at the data pipeline, its approach supports faster response and efficiency, reducing the time and cost often associated with handling large volumes of security data. Industry observers note that SOCs have historically relied on third-party tools to manage data ingestion, a process that can add complexity and cost. With Onum’s capabilities integrated into Falcon, CrowdStrike aims to simplify this process and provide native data streaming and in-pipeline detection.
Pedro Castillo, CEO of Onum, said the company’s focus has been on transforming data pipelines into real-time security intelligence rather than treating them as simple transport mechanisms. The acquisition, once completed, will align with CrowdStrike’s broader strategy to position Falcon as a comprehensive cloud-native cybersecurity platform while addressing growing demand for AI-powered threat detection and cost-efficient SOC operations.
