CrowdStrike  announced its intent to acquire Onum, a leader in real-time telemetry pipeline management, on August 27, 2025. This acquisition aims to supercharge the Falcon Next-Gen Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform by integrating Onum’s advanced data pipeline capabilities, enabling faster, cost-effective, and autonomous cybersecurity solutions.

Quick Intel

  • Acquisition: CrowdStrike to acquire Onum to enhance Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.
  • Key Benefits: Up to 5x faster event processing, 50% lower storage costs, 70% faster incident response.
  • Onum’s Role: Provides real-time telemetry pipeline management for seamless data integration.
  • Focus: Eliminates data migration bottlenecks and enables in-pipeline threat detection.
  • Impact: Strengthens AI-driven security operations center (SOC) transformation.
  • Leadership Quote: “Onum is both a pipeline and a filter, streaming high-quality data to drive autonomous cybersecurity at scale,” said George Kurtz, CEO of CrowdStrike.

Transforming Falcon Next-Gen SIEM

The acquisition integrates Onum’s stateless, in-memory architecture into the Falcon platform, enhancing its role as the “operating system of cybersecurity.” Onum’s technology processes security and observability data in real-time, delivering up to five times more events per second than competitors and reducing storage costs by up to 50% through smart filtering. This enables faster onboarding and in-pipeline threat detection, starting before data enters the Falcon platform.

Breakthrough Capabilities

Onum’s integration offers:

  • Speed: Real-time processing outperforms legacy batch methods, handling five times more events per second.
  • Cost Efficiency: Smart filtering cuts data storage costs by up to 50%.
  • Superior Outcomes: In-pipeline detection accelerates incident response by 70% and reduces ingestion overhead by 40%.

“Onum was founded on the belief that pipelines should do more than transport data, they should transform data into real-time intelligence,” said Pedro Castillo, founder and CEO of Onum. “By joining CrowdStrike, we can deliver this vision at unprecedented scale.”

Eliminating Data Migration Challenges

Previously, migrating data to Next-Gen SIEM required third-party tools, creating friction and costs. Onum’s technology eliminates these bottlenecks, enabling native data streaming and autonomous detection within the Falcon platform, streamlining SOC transformation.

Strategic Impact

The acquisition aligns with CrowdStrike’s focus on AI-driven SOC transformation, positioning Falcon Next-Gen SIEM as a leader in cybersecurity. With 95% growth in annual recurring revenue (ARR) for the platform, reaching $430 million in Q2 FY2026, CrowdStrike is disrupting legacy SIEM vendors like Splunk by offering a cloud-native, AI-powered solution.

CrowdStrike’s acquisition of Onum enhances its Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, delivering unmatched speed, cost efficiency, and autonomous threat detection. This move solidifies CrowdStrike’s leadership in modernizing SOCs and addressing complex security challenges globally.
