With this disruptive technology, services partners can help organizations replace outdated systems, streamline security and IT data management and stop breaches.

'As all CrowdStrike customers are fully equipped to leverage the Next-Gen SIEM capabilities in the Falcon platform, the demand for our services partners to help transform existing SIEM deployments has never been higher. We are seizing this opportunity to create meaningful growth for our partners,' said Tom Etheridge, chief global services officer at CrowdStrike.

Together, we're eliminating complexity, consolidating costs and keeping organizations ahead of evolving threats.' 'The SIEM market is undergoing a massive transformation as businesses realize that legacy approaches can't keep up with the speed and sophistication of modern threats,' said Matthew Ball, chief analyst at Canalys. 'Success in this new era depends on harnessing technologies like Falcon Next-Gen SIEM alongside expert partner services to gain complete visibility, accelerate detection and response and strengthen long-term cyber resilience. The channel will play a pivotal role in this shift, ensuring businesses stay ahead in an increasingly complex cybersecurity landscape.' 0 0
