Cybersecurity is moving fast, and if your security data management strategy can’t keep up with your growth, you’re already behind. Security operations centers (SOCs) today face mountains of data spread across countless tools and platforms. Combine that with evolving cyber threats, and you have an environment that demands a smarter approach to SIEM data management.

Cribl is excited to deepen our partnership with CrowdStrike, as we announce the general availability of CrowdStream for CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM. CrowdStream is a native capability of Falcon Next-Gen SIEM that lets you easily collect and route data from any source using Cribl’s industry-leading data pipelining technology. It provides an elegant, fast, and cost-effective way to get data into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, streamlining data ingestion and unification, and giving customers end-to-end visibility and control, so they can focus on what really matters: staying ahead of threats.

To provide deeper insights into the challenges and trends shaping the security landscape, we’ve also teamed up with CrowdStrike to publish The State of the SIEM Market, a comprehensive report that takes a closer look at the forces shaping the security landscape today.

What Sets the Cribl-CrowdStrike Partnership Apart

Digital transformation has brought incredible innovation, but it’s also created a complex maze of telemetry data and legacy systems that SOCs need to navigate daily. Legacy SIEMs are struggling to keep up with modern demands. As logs, metrics, and traces pour in from every corner of your environment, security teams face bottlenecks, rising costs, and critical gaps that slow down real-time threat detection and response.

SOCs today need better ways to optimize existing systems and manage the telemetry they have coming in. The shift to cloud-native, AI-powered SIEM is critical for security teams looking for unified data visibility and fast, actionable insights.

CrowdStream integrates seamlessly with Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, allowing security teams to connect and route data from any source to the CrowdStrike Falcon platform or select destinations. This native capability within the Falcon platform minimizes the complexity and cost of connecting data sources, enablement SOCs to better safeguard the business.

Insights You Can’t Ignore: The State of the SIEM Market

Our joint report with CrowdStrike, The State of the SIEM Market, reveals key insights that highlight the urgent need for improved SIEM solutions:

  • Data Management Pressure: 63% of companies say their current data strategies are only sustainable for the next three years. A third expect their strategies won’t last beyond 12 months.
  • Growing Threat Complexity: 2023 saw a 60% year-over-year spike in hands-on intrusion campaigns.
  • Push for Automation: 41% of organizations plan to improve their incident response by automating workflows in the next year.
  • Next-Gen SIEM on the Rise: Our data shows that CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM is one of the fastest-growing data destinations, with 260% year-over-year growth in 2024.

These stats show the need for more efficient, scalable, and adaptable SIEM solutions that can handle the increasing volume and complexity of security-relevant telemetry.

The Benefits: More Than Just Data Routing

As the security landscape evolves, SOCs need solutions that go beyond simple data routing. A robust data management strategy is key for organizations to handle all that data. Cribl brings that flexibility to teams using CrowdStrike.

By leveraging Cribl’s industry-leading data pipeline technology within the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, security teams can transform their operations and implement a more effective data management strategy. This approach allows organizations to:

  • Gain unified visibility: Integrate data from all sources across your IT and security environment to get a comprehensive view and spot threats faster.
  • Cut complexity: Streamline how data is ingested, normalized, and filtered to simplify SIEM data management and make life easier for your SOC.
  • Maximize existing investments: Collect data once and leverage it multiple times, ensuring your current technology investments deliver more value and enhance overall security operations.

CrowdStream addresses the challenges highlighted in our report by providing a unified, efficient solution for data ingestion and management, helping organizations overcome the data management pressures and complexity issues facing modern SOCs.

CrowdStream for Falcon Next-Gen SIEM offers a range of powerful capabilities to transform your security operations. It allows you to effortlessly connect and route data from any source into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, significantly reducing the complexity and cost associated with data source connections. This seamless integration enhances threat hunting capabilities by providing blazing-fast search and visibility across all your security data.
