CrowdStrike Advances Next-Gen SIEM with Threat Hunting Across Data Sources, AI-Driven UEBA

CrowdStrike announces Falcon Adversary OverWatch Next-Gen SIEM and advanced UEBA, case management, and identity security automation capabilities for Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.

CrowdStrike is launching new innovations to power the AI-native security operations center (SOC) and help teams hunt and resolve threats with speed and accuracy.

A new solution, CrowdStrike Falcon® Adversary OverWatch Next-Gen SIEM, will bring managed threat hunting to available third-party data and extend the visibility of CrowdStrike’s elite threat hunters into unmanaged attack surfaces. We are also announcing advanced user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), case management, and identity security automation capabilities for CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM to accelerate response to suspicious user behavior and identity-based attacks.

Adversaries continue to target long-standing entry points such as firewalls, routers, VPNs, and email gateways to bypass defenses. While these threats aren’t new, detecting them across evolving business infrastructure is a critical challenge. SOC teams often struggle to correlate signals across siloed tools, leading to missed threats, delayed response, and longer dwell time. Organizations need granular visibility to discover and remediate threats targeting these assets.

With these innovations, security teams can use CrowdStrike’s industry-leading technology and services to streamline operations, hunt for threats, and quickly detect and respond to adversary activity targeting key entry points and their broader IT environments.

Inside Falcon Adversary OverWatch Next-Gen SIEM

Falcon Adversary OverWatch Next-Gen SIEM is a new solution built to bring real-time managed threat hunting to available third-party SIEM data from network edge devices, identity and access management tools, SaaS applications, and email security tools, among other sources, to uncover threats in their early stages. This is in addition to the threat hunting of first-party data across endpoint, cloud, and identity that CrowdStrike’s expert threat hunters already provide.

Modern SOCs are flooded with data but starved for insight. Despite investments in SIEM and log aggregation tools, many organizations are slow to detect and stop adversaries due to siloed systems and uncorrelated alerts leaving blind spots across the IT environment. The solution isn’t more data — it’s proactive threat hunting powered by visibility across attack surfaces.

Falcon Adversary OverWatch, powered by the CrowdStrike Falcon® cybersecurity platform, uses patented AI, deep adversary expertise, and threat intelligence to uncover threats. Falcon Next-Gen SIEM unifies native and third-party data, real-time intelligence, and AI-driven automation to deliver full visibility, high-fidelity alerts, and accelerated response. CrowdStrike is bringing these capabilities together to power the modern SOC.

Threat hunting requires specific tools and expertise. Falcon Adversary OverWatch enriches SIEM events with threat intelligence and the results of expert investigation, in conjunction with AI, to turn massive volumes of telemetry into high-confidence alerts. This accelerates detection, reduces alert fatigue, and builds confidence in every decision. Falcon Adversary OverWatch does the heavy lifting — correlating signals, analyzing behaviors, filtering out false positives, and surfacing threats — so SOC analysts can focus on stopping adversaries. 

With up to 4.7 trillion events regularly analyzed daily and 24/7 expert-driven threat hunting, Falcon Adversary OverWatch delivers end-to-end visibility across third-party, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments. Every detection benefits all customers: If Falcon Adversary OverWatch uncovers a new threat in one environment, it checks across all environments to determine whether others are at risk. This collective defense model enhances protection across all customer environments and helps contain emerging threats.

By extending managed threat hunting to available third-party data, CrowdStrike delivers comprehensive visibility and expert-led, AI-powered detection across attack surfaces, empowering the SOC to find and stop threats before initial access turns into a full-scale breach.

Elevating Security Operations with Falcon Next-Gen SIEM

New UEBA in Falcon Next-Gen SIEM delivers behavior-based threat detection powered by automation, AI, and contextual awareness. It’s built to address the gaps traditional tools miss and empower security teams with visibility and speed to take control of the outcome.

Legacy SIEM systems struggle with modern data volume and complexity, flooding analysts with false positives and slowing response times. Rather than surfacing real threats, traditional UEBA tools generate noise and rely on older models that adversaries have learned to evade.

Falcon Next-Gen SIEM reimagines behavior analytics to fulfill the original promise of UEBA without the guesswork, noise, or endless fine-tuning. It correlates detections across users, hosts, and activities in a centralized platform to uncover insider threats and other activity that adversaries disguise as normal behavior. This UEBA capability prioritizes high-fidelity detections by assigning AI-powered risk scores that reflect the urgency of each incident. The risk score is fully transparent and customizable, helping analysts focus on threats that pose the greatest risk.

Automated entity resolution and context-gathering accelerate investigations and eliminate the need to manually stitch together data from different sources. Timelines provide visibility into how an attack unfolded — who was involved, what actions were taken, and when — so analysts can move from alert to understanding in moments.

Building on this ability to pinpoint insider and identity-based threats, Falcon Next-Gen SIEM now works with CrowdStrike Falcon® Identity Protection to integrate rich identity insights with threat intelligence, endpoint activity, and behavioral analytics to accelerate detection and response. CrowdStrike Falcon® Fusion SOAR enables automated enforcement, while unified visibility helps analysts prioritize identity-based threats. Together, they give SOCs the control, speed, and context needed to detect identity-based attacks before they escalate.

Delivered within the unified Falcon platform, these capabilities enable organizations to detect, prioritize, and triage threats at scale, giving security teams the speed and clarity they need to stop breaches.

Drive Incident Response with Confidence

Without fast, effective response, adversaries still have time to escalate. For many SOC teams, response is hampered by fragmented tools, inconsistent processes, and the reliance on spreadsheets or ticketing systems that weren’t built for cybersecurity.

Falcon Next-Gen SIEM now provides a case-centric approach to investigation and response. With integrated case management, analysts can build cases from detections or from scratch, using pre-defined or customizable templates to guide triage and resolution. From there, they can assign tasks, track progress, and visualize the investigation, all within a unified platform.

Tight integration with Falcon Fusion SOAR allows security teams to automate repetitive tasks and accelerate resolution. Enrichments, escalations, and common remediation steps can be triggered automatically, freeing analysts to focus on decisions that require human judgment. CrowdStrike Charlotte AI™ further enhances the experience by helping analysts interpret findings, summarize investigations, and identify what to do next.

These efficiencies are measurable. Case dashboards offer visibility into SOC performance and track metrics like time to triage, analyst workload, and SLA compliance. With a data-driven understanding of what’s working and where to improve, SOC leaders can fine-tune their operations to move faster and more effectively.

Powering the Future of Security Operations

Modernizing the SOC is a matter of urgency. As adversaries accelerate their tactics and expand their reach, security teams must evolve just as quickly. That means moving beyond reactive defense and embracing proactive, intelligence-driven operations. 

CrowdStrike delivers the foundation for this evolution. With Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, Falcon Adversary OverWatch, and Falcon Identity Protection, organizations gain the tools to unify detection, accelerate response, and protect every layer of their environment.
