CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) on Wednesday announced plans to acquire Onum, a Spanish startup that provides real-time telemetry pipeline technology.
The cybersecurity giant says the acquisition will bring valuable technology to enhance CrowdStrike’s Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.
“Onum is both a pipeline and a filter, which will stream high-quality, filtered data directly into the platform to drive autonomous cybersecurity at scale,” said George Kurtz, CEO and founder of CrowdStrike. “This is how we stop breaches at the speed of AI while giving customers complete control over their entire data ecosystem – well beyond cybersecurity.”
Onum is built on a stateless, in-memory architecture, which CrowdStrike says will complement its SIEM and bring speed, scale, and efficiency in onboarding while giving customers control of their security and observability data.
“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 to accelerate SOC transformation on a global scale. I’m incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished in defining real-time telemetry pipeline management, and we look forward to bringing that innovation to the Falcon platform.”
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the acquisition is reportedly valued at $290 million.
Launched in 2023 by Pedro Castillo, founder of Devo, and Lucas Varela, a former cybersecurity leader at CaixaBank, Onum has raised more than $40 million in funding.
