CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM
The SOC, re-thought — an AI-native SIEM on LogScale that ends the per-GB pricing pain, keeps all your data searchable, and ingests everything — including Microsoft Defender.
How it’s rated
Full scoreboard ↓Quick answer
Falcon Next-Gen SIEM is CrowdStrike's re-think of the security operations centre — an AI-native SIEM built on Falcon LogScale (one of the most scalable log-management engines around) that ends the per-GB pricing pain that made traditional SIEM projects unaffordable. It unifies native Falcon data with third-party sources — and, as of March 2026, natively ingests and correlates Microsoft Defender for Endpoint telemetry, so Microsoft-endpoint customers can modernise their SOC without deploying another sensor. It's AI-native at the core, accelerating every step of the analyst experience, and it runs in the same console as the rest of Falcon, so detection, investigation and response happen in one place. The pitch: a SIEM whose economics and speed finally match what a modern SOC actually needs.

Understand next-gen SIEM before you buy it
Most product pages skip this. We start here — so you buy a capability, not a buzzword.
What is a next-gen SIEM?
An AI-native security operations platform on Falcon LogScale — that ends the per-GB pricing pain, keeps all your data searchable, and runs detect-to-respond in one console.
With native Falcon data and open third-party ingest, including Microsoft Defender.
Legacy per-GB SIEM vs LogScale-based next-gen — the honest table
What consolidation actually replaces, dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | Legacy per-GB SIEM | Next-Gen SIEM (Falcon) |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Per-GB — punishes visibility | LogScale economics, keep it all |
| The data choice | Drop logs to save money | Keep everything, search fast |
| Search speed | Queries time out | Index-free, seconds |
| Falcon data | A connector to build | Already native in the SIEM |
| Third-party | Costly, limited | Open — incl. MS Defender |
| The AI | Bolted on, if any | AI-native every step |
| The workflow | SIEM + five other consoles | One console, detect to respond |
| Migration | A rip-and-replace gamble | Incremental from free ingest |
Grow in from the free Insight XDR ingest — an incremental path, not a rip-and-replace SIEM gamble.
The five pieces of the platform
Vendors love diagrams; buyers need to know what they’re actually operating. Here’s the whole platform, demystified.
Falcon LogScale
One of the most scalable log-management technologies around — index-free, blazing search — so you can keep all the data without the storage-and-search cost that broke legacy SIEM.
AI-Native Core
AI woven through every step — detection, triage, investigation — so analysts move at machine speed rather than drowning in raw events.
Open Ingest
Ingests and correlates third-party data — including native Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (March 2026) — so the SOC sees everything, not just Falcon.
Native Falcon Data
Falcon endpoint, identity and cloud telemetry is already in the SIEM — no connector to build for your most important security data.
One Console
Detection, investigation and response in the same console as the rest of Falcon — no swivel-chair between the SIEM and the tools it watches.
One agent on every machine, one console over all of them — modules attach without a second operational world.
Twelve capabilities. Ingest, detect, respond.
Falcon Next-Gen SIEM ends the choice between visibility and budget — keep all the data, search it fast, run the whole SOC in one console.
Scalable Log Management
Built on Falcon LogScale — index-free, massively scalable — so you keep all the data and search it fast, affordably.
Economics Re-Thought
Ends the per-GB pricing that forced teams to drop logs — keep everything without the legacy-SIEM bill shock.
Native Falcon Data
Endpoint, identity and cloud telemetry already in the SIEM — no connector for your most important security signal.
Open Third-Party Ingest
Ingests any source — including native Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (March 2026) — anti-lock-in by design.
AI-Native Detection
AI woven through detection — surfaces the real threat from the event noise rather than a raw alert firehose.
Cross-Source Correlation
Correlates Falcon and third-party data into unified detections — the whole picture, not per-source silos.
Charlotte AI Analyst
Charlotte AI accelerates triage and investigation in the SIEM — machine-speed analysis for the modern SOC.
Blazing Search
Index-free search returns in seconds what timed out on legacy SIEM — hunt across all your data without waiting.
One SOC Console
Detection, investigation and response in the same console as the tools it watches — no swivel-chair workflow.
Guided Response
Response actions and workflows in the SIEM — from alert to containment without leaving the console.
Long Retention
Affordable long-term retention for compliance and hunting — the historical data legacy SIEM priced out of reach.
Incremental Migration
Grow in from the free Insight XDR ingest — expand into full SIEM, not a rip-and-replace gamble.

Here’s what genuinely sets Falcon Next-Gen SIEM apart from the alternatives.
The per-GB SIEM tax, ended
Legacy SIEM priced by data ingested, so teams dropped logs to control cost — and went blind to save money. Next-Gen SIEM on LogScale changes the economics so you can keep the data and actually search it, ending the impossible choice between visibility and budget.
Your best data is already in it
The head start no other SIEM has: Falcon endpoint, identity and cloud telemetry is already native to the platform — no connector to build, no data to ship. Your most important security signal is in the SIEM from day one.
Open — even to Microsoft Defender
As of March 2026 it natively ingests and correlates Microsoft Defender for Endpoint telemetry, so Microsoft-endpoint shops can modernise their SOC on CrowdStrike without ripping out Defender or deploying a second sensor. That openness is a deliberate anti-lock-in stance.
AI-native, not AI-bolted-on
The AI runs through every step of the analyst experience — surfacing the real detection, accelerating triage and investigation — because it was built AI-native, not retrofitted. The SOC moves at machine speed instead of drowning in raw events.
One console, no swivel-chair
Detection, investigation and response happen in the same console as the endpoint, identity and cloud tools the SIEM is watching — so an analyst doesn't jump between the SIEM and five other products to work an incident. One pane, whole workflow.
Pairs with — or replaces — your SIEM
Start by using the free third-party ingest that comes with Insight XDR, then grow into Next-Gen SIEM as your data and use cases expand — or replace an unaffordable legacy SIEM outright. The path is incremental, not a rip-and-replace gamble.

Quick poll — what’s driving your evaluation?
Talk to an advisor“Our old SIEM bill scaled with logs, so we dropped data to save money and went blind. Next-Gen SIEM on LogScale let us keep everything and actually search it — visibility we'd been rationing for years.”
“Falcon data was already in the SIEM — no connector, no shipping. Our most important security signal was there on day one, which no other SIEM could offer us.”
“We're a Microsoft-endpoint shop. The native Defender for Endpoint ingest meant we modernised our SOC on CrowdStrike without ripping out Defender. That openness sealed it.”
“Search speed on LogScale is genuinely different — queries that timed out on our old SIEM return in seconds. The engine is the story.”
“The AI surfacing the real detection from the noise cut our triage time hard. It's AI-native, and you feel it in the daily workflow.”
“One console for the SIEM and the endpoint/identity tools it watches ended the swivel-chair. Working an incident is one pane now.”
“Consumption pricing needs modelling against your data volume — it's better economics than legacy, but scope it. TechBag sized it well for us.”
“We grew into it from the free Insight XDR ingest — incremental, not a rip-and-replace gamble. That path matters for a SIEM migration.”

What does per-GB SIEM pricing cost you?
Drag the sliders (count daily log volume in GB; cost per GB as your legacy-SIEM rate). Estimates model the legacy per-GB bill, with ~55% removed by LogScale economics that let you keep all the data affordably — the avoided cost of dropped-data blind spots (missed detections) is the larger, unpriced win. Illustrative.
