CrowdStrike Announces the Falcon Next-Gen SIEM ISV Ecosystem, Open to Integrating the Most Third-Party Data Sources to Power the AI-Native SOC

BENGALURU, India – 11th May 2024. CrowdStrike announced that CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM now supports the largest ecosystem of ISV data sources of any pure-play cybersecurity vendor. Data from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Cloudflare, Cribl, ExtraHop, Okta, Rubrik, Zscaler, and over 500 security and IT leaders can be seamlessly integrated with Falcon platform data, threat intelligence, AI and workflow automation to power the AI-native SOC and provide security teams with the centralized insights they need to stop breaches faster than ever before.

Security operations are a data problem. The growing number of security and IT solutions in enterprise environments makes it increasingly difficult to solve. Multiple agents, disparate consoles, and piecemeal workflows create data silos that require excess human integration and operational investment. Legacy SIEMs attempted to stitch data together, serving as point-in-time relief from a chronic problem. In today’s AI-powered enterprise, the legacy SIEM is no longer effective, creating blind spots, prolonging investigations, and preventing security teams from matching adversary speeds. Legacy data schemas complicate ingesting ever-expanding data sources. Running modern security and IT operations requires a fundamentally different AI platform approach to ingestion, analytics, and response orchestration. Most importantly, it requires the foundational ecosystem of data content from the tools used by enterprises across the globe.

The CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM ISV ecosystem allows security teams to seamlessly ingest, retain, search, and analyze data from over 500 sources. This, combined with Falcon data, threat intelligence, AI, and workflow automation, advances the AI-native SOC and provides security teams with unmatched speed and accuracy to stop breaches.

“CrowdStrike’s customer base, more than 500 supported integrations and diverse partner base creates unparalleled data gravity, putting us in the driver’s seat to create and lead the next-gen SIEM market,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer, CrowdStrike. “The AI-powered Falcon XDR platform – which welcomes third-party data – differentiates our approach. Together with our hundreds of ISV partners, we’re revolutionizing SIEM, combining an AI-native platform approach with the diverse data sources sought by the enterprise. The ability to bring any data in, instantly gain insight and automate orchestrated responses is the next-gen SIEM game changer today’s enterprises need.”

500+ data sources. Faster detection and response.
Falcon Next-Gen SIEM is open to supporting over 500 ISV data sources with integrations available through the CrowdStrike Marketplace and CrowdStrike Github. Historical and real-time data is correlated and enriched with massive amounts of Falcon data, threat intelligence, AI, and workflow automation to provide security teams with the most comprehensive understanding of threat activity across environments and rapidly respond.
