CrowdStrike's Falcon Next-Gen SIEM now ingests Microsoft Defender for Endpoint telemetry, making Defender the first third-party EDR integrated into the platform. The integration enables intelligent data filtering and real-time analytics using Defender data. CrowdStrike also launched Falcon Onum (based on its Onum acquisition) to manage log data at scale. Additionally, CrowdStrike products are now available in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace for the first time, allowing enterprise customers to use MACC committed funds for CrowdStrike purchases. The partnership follows years of public rivalry between CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz and Microsoft, with a shared Formula 1 interest reportedly helping broker the détente.
