How CrowdStrike’s acquisitions of Onum and Pangea underpin the future of enterprise security
One drumbeat from Fal.Con Europe 2025 was that the agentic transformation of the Security Operations Centre (SOC) must be driven by data. The move to an agentic model – where AI agents collaborate autonomously with human analysts and decision makers – will only work with trusted, fast, and governed data.
In the agentic SOC, data is both fuel for automation and intelligent decision-making. In this context, CrowdStrike’s acquisitions of Onum and Pangea represent genuine strategic milestones. Together, their acquired capabilities form the data and governance backbone of the Agentic Security Platform, enabling organisations to scale compliant, AI-enabled security operations at speed.
How Onum powers the data pipeline with real-time telemetry
In the agentic SOC, data speed and clarity are critical. Traditional data pipelines struggle under the weight of fragmented telemetry, duplicated signals, and data overloads which can cloud visibility and expose the SOC to threats and inefficiency.
CrowdStrike Falcon® Onum rebalances the equation by ensuring the delivery of real-time, high-quality data. It filters, enriches, and routes telemetry in motion, turning unstructured, high-volume data streams into actionable contextual information that AI agents and analysts can act on. This allows the whole SOC to reduce uncertainty, costs, and the risk of data breaches.
The impact speaks for itself:
- 5× greater event throughput to help the SOC keep pace with threats
- 70% faster incident response with in-pipeline detection and enrichment
- 50% lower storage costs thanks to smart filtering and optimised routing
- 40% lower data ingestion overheads
By reducing noise and amplifying threat signals, Falcon Onum provides a pipeline of high-fidelity insights into solutions such as CrowdStrike Falcon® Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). Analysts can act on the most important information first, focusing on making decisions instead of trawling through overloads of data.
How Pangea secures the AI layer with in-built detection
As AI agents are increasingly trusted to act, decide, and collaborate autonomously, this evolution means data security has to be embedded deeper than systems and users – into the agents themselves.
This is the driving force behind the acquisition of Pangea, which introduces AI Detection and Response (AIDR) as the industry’s first framework for safeguarding AI models, data, and interactions. AIDR continuously inspects prompts, outputs, and agent-to-agent communications, to identify malicious or unsafe behaviour before it causes harm.
Pangea’s core capabilities include:
- 99% effective prompt-injection prevention, preventing malicious inputs from manipulating AI behaviour
- Sub-30ms latency to ensure real-time protection for uninterrupted performance
- Comprehensive governance across the entire AI lifecycle, covering data, models, agents, and infrastructure
It’s time for partners to move the dial
The combined power of Onum and Pangea opens a new frontier for our partner ecosystem. As organisations seek to modernise their SOCs, partners play a pivotal role in enabling this transformation across three key areas:
- Data engineering and telemetry integration
- Governance consulting for AI safety and compliance
- Onboarding to the Falcon data ecosystem
Together, these capabilities allow partners to build recurring service models rooted in data quality, trust, and governance. According to Canalys, every $1 in Falcon license sales opens the door to $7 in related services revenue. Alignment with CrowdStrike’s agentic vision gives partners the chance to boost margins, deliver tailored solutions, and build long-term customer loyalty.
Data is the firm foundation of agentic AI
By combining real-time telemetry pipelines with AI-native protection and governance, CrowdStrike has built a powerful framework for scalable, trustworthy AI operations. It’s a pivotal moment for partners and customers to evolve – from data-rich, insight-poor environments towards agentic ecosystems that are far more proactive, autonomous, and resilient.
