CrowdStrike Named a Leader in the 2026 IDC MarketScape for Worldwide SIEM

CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide SIEM 2026 Vendor Assessment.¹ We believe this recognition reflects how CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM is transforming security operations at global scale, as organizations replace legacy SIEMs to build the agentic SOC on the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform.

Legacy SIEMs were built for a threat environment that no longer exists. As AI-enabled adversaries attack across domains at machine speed, legacy architecture forces security teams to stitch together telemetry from disconnected sources, increasing complexity and imposing a tradeoff between cost and security. IDC found "73 percent of organizations ingest less than 75 percent of the data needed to fully monitor their environments." That gap creates the blind spots where attackers operate. Falcon Next-Gen SIEM closes this gap through a structural advantage no legacy vendor can match.

The IDC MarketScape noted, "For SIEM buyers, the breadth of native telemetry sources and the consolidation pitch are central: Many of the data feeds traditionally routed into a SIEM, including endpoint, identity, and cloud signals, originate inside the Falcon platform itself."

"Legacy SIEMs were built to record what happened; Falcon Next-Gen SIEM is built to stop the adversary," said Ajit Sancheti, GM, Falcon Next-Gen SIEM at CrowdStrike. "Our structural advantage starts with the data that defines modern detection already living on the Falcon platform, and Charlotte AI is now the reasoning engine across Falcon, triaging alerts, correlating cross-domain telemetry, and automating investigation at machine speed."

Falcon Next-Gen SIEM Is the Operating System of the Agentic SOC

Falcon Next-Gen SIEM has proven itself a scaled market disruptor, with performance and cost advantages that set it apart from legacy SIEMs, exceeding $600 million in ending ARR.² Organizations are replacing legacy SIEMs and consolidating fragmented tooling on a single platform, benefiting from better economics, faster search, and autonomous response through Charlotte AI's triage that eliminates swivel-chair alert management.

The IDC MarketScape for CrowdStrike notes:

• Endpoint, identity, cloud, and exposure data already collected by the Falcon platform flow into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM without re-ingest fees and without external stitching. Customers report that this design eliminates duplicate ingest costs and shortens onboarding for organizations that already run the Falcon sensor.
• In September 2025, CrowdStrike acquired Onum, a real-time data pipeline vendor, and integrated it as the data routing layer for Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.
• Charlotte AI provides a set of generally available agents for detection triage, response, hunting, malware analysis, exposure prioritization, data onboarding, search analysis, correlation rule generation, data transformation, and workflow generation, plus AI-generated parsers and natural-language investigation.
• Falcon Flex licensing lets organizations shift committed spend across Falcon modules over time, and customers describe the ingestion-based pricing model as transparent compared with credit-based alternatives.
