CrowdStrike Buys Onum to Speed Falcon SIEM After Revenue Beat

CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. said it has agreed to acquire privately held Onum, a developer of real-time telemetry data-pipeline technology, to expand the data-ingestion and filtering capabilities of its Falcon Next-Gen SIEM cybersecurity platform. Chief Executive Officer George Kurtz called Onum “both a pipeline and a filter” that will stream higher-quality data into Falcon and accelerate autonomous cyber-threat detection. Deal terms were not disclosed. The announcement accompanied CrowdStrike’s fiscal second-quarter results. Revenue rose 21% from a year earlier to $1.17 billion, while the company posted a GAAP net loss of $77.7 million, or 31 cents a share. On a non-GAAP basis, earnings were 93 cents per share, topping analysts’ average estimate of 83 cents. For the current quarter, the Austin-based company projected revenue of $1.208 billion to $1.218 billion with non-GAAP earnings of 93 to 95 cents a share. CrowdStrike forecast full-year fiscal 2026 revenue of $4.75 billion to $4.80 billion. Management said integrating Onum’s technology should reduce customers’ data-storage costs and speed incident response, strengthening Falcon’s position against rival security information and event-management offerings.
