Thus, Falcon will gain in speed, by processing \u201cfive times more events per second than its closest competitor\u201d; in costs, by lowering storage costs by 50% with intelligent optimization; or in results, by achieving a response to incidents up to 70% faster with 40% less ingest overhead, the company claims.<\/p>\n<p>To Fortune, Kurtz explained that the more data they can process, \u201cthe larger the moat we actually have, and the greater the opportunity we have to solve bigger and broader problems from an AI perspective. That\u2019s really driving our vision for AI-native SOC [security operations center].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that CrowdStrike\u2019s goal is to secure every AI agent: \u201cIf you think about the data we have, we started becoming the Reddit of security data for all these AI models.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CrowdStrike has announced the purchase of Spanish data intelligence company Onum, which specializes in real-time telemetry pipeline management.
