🔒 CrowdStrike has acquired Spanish telemetry specialist Onum for $290 million, aiming to integrate its real-time pipeline and filtering technology into the Falcon Next‑Gen SIEM. The company says Onum’s pipeline will enable higher event throughput, reduce storage costs by about 50%, and cut ingest overhead while accelerating incident response. CrowdStrike frames the buy as a move toward an AI-native, agentic SOC.

🔒 The article highlights a growing succession problem in cybersecurity: although CISO turnover has eased (from 21% in 2022 to 12% in 2023 and an annualized 11% in H1 2024), most organizations still lack formal plans to prepare successors. The gap is less about technical ability and more about developing leaders who can align cybersecurity with business strategy, communicate with executives, and manage risk. Experts recommend early planning, creating a true deputy CISO, rotational assignments, and board exposure to build a resilient internal pipeline.

📡 CrowdStrike announced an agreement to acquire Onum, a leader in real-time telemetry pipeline management that will extend the CrowdStrike Falcon platform's data advantage. Onum transforms telemetry in motion by filtering, enriching and optimizing events as they stream, delivering high-fidelity intelligence to Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, customer AI agents and data lakes. CrowdStrike highlights gains in speed and cost efficiency, saying the integration will reduce storage overhead, accelerate incident response and enable an agentic SOC powered by real-time, AI-driven detection.

🔐 Jim Sanborn is auctioning the original solution to Part Four (K4) of his Kryptos sculpture, with RR Auction estimating a winning bid of $300,000–$500,000 for the lot.
