CrowdStrike acquires Onum to enrich security data in motion

"SOCs need data as quickly as possible, not as much of it as possible. To further improve the signal-to-noise ratio, CrowdStrike plans to acquire Onum, the leading data pipeline expert. Stopping an infiltration requires real-time data, according to CrowdStrike. SOCs must eventually be able to activate Falcon Next Gen SIEM with data that has been encrypted as much as possible while in motion. Trademark This transformation of data in motion is the core competency of Onum, founded in 2022."

"Onum therefore filters and enriches data before it is forwarded to security tools. According to CrowdStrike, Onum's technology can deliver five times more events per second than competitors, reduce storage costs by 50 percent, and cut response times by 70 percent. Autonomous detection as a goal By integrating Onum into the Falcon platform, CrowdStrike aims to significantly enhance its effectiveness."

CrowdStrike is acquiring Onum to prioritize fast, high-quality data-in-motion over sheer volume, enabling quicker breach detection and response. Onum transforms pipelines to filter, enrich, and encrypt data while in motion so SOCs can feed Falcon Next Gen SIEM with actionable intelligence. Onum's technology reportedly delivers five times more events per second, halves storage costs, and reduces response times by 70 percent. CrowdStrike paid $290 million for Onum, far exceeding the start-up's prior $40.8 million funding. Integration will embed Onum capabilities directly into the Falcon platform to accelerate autonomous detection and decision-making.
