Why Modernise Now

A legacy SIEM can become the bottleneck in the SOC.

Traditional SIEM programmes often accumulate years of log sources, duplicate data, brittle rules and manual workflows. Replacing the product without changing the operating model simply moves the same complexity into a new platform.

A successful SIEM transformation starts by deciding what the SOC needs to detect, investigate and respond to—not by copying every log and rule you already have.

Data sprawlHigh-volume telemetry is collected without a clear relationship to detection, investigation or compliance outcomes.
Slow investigationsAnalysts move between tools, indexes and consoles to reconstruct activity that crosses endpoint, identity, cloud, SaaS and network domains.
Alert noiseRules accumulate faster than they are tuned, creating queues that consume analyst time without improving security outcomes.
Manual responseInvestigation and containment still depend on analysts stitching together evidence and actions across disconnected systems.
Unclear costStorage, ingestion and retention decisions become disconnected from actual security value.
The Modern SOC Architecture

One data foundation. One analyst workspace. Governed response.

Falcon Next-Gen SIEM is the AI-native engine at the centre of CrowdStrike’s modern SOC. Vectra builds the architecture around data quality, security use cases and operational ownership so the platform is ready for both analysts and AI agents.

80%CrowdStrike projects up to 80% cost savings over three years versus legacy SIEM approaches.
IncludedData from licensed Falcon modules is available in Falcon Next-Gen SIEM without additional ingestion charges.
The Agentic SOC

Move from isolated AI assistants to coordinated security operations.

At Fal.Con 2026, CrowdStrike introduced the next evolution of its Agentic SOC: coordinated investigations across endpoint, identity, SaaS, cloud and network domains, with agents sharing context and converging on a unified verdict.

For customers, the value is not simply “more AI.” The goal is to let AI handle the repetitive evidence gathering and analysis while analysts retain governance over decisions and high-impact response actions.

Cross-domain investigationsAgents can work across security domains in parallel rather than forcing analysts to investigate one silo at a time.
Charlotte Agentic SOARCombine structured automation with adaptive reasoning for workflows that can respond to changing context.
AgentWorksBuild and extend security agents while keeping them inside a governed operating framework.
Human controlDefine autonomy levels, approvals and accountability so automation can scale without becoming ungoverned.
Unified workspaceKeep data, agents, workflows and investigation activity visible in one operational environment.
Falcon Onum & Data Strategy

Ingesting everything is not a data strategy.

Falcon Onum adds real-time data-pipeline capability to the Falcon platform, helping filter, transform, enrich and route telemetry before it becomes analyst noise or unnecessary storage.

Vectra uses the migration process to determine which data is required for detection, investigation, threat hunting, compliance and operational reporting—and which data should be transformed, routed elsewhere or excluded.

CollectBring in Falcon-native and high-value third-party security and IT telemetry.
FilterRemove low-value duplication and events that do not contribute to a defined security or compliance outcome.
TransformNormalise and enrich data so detections, searches and agents can reason over useful context.
RouteSend telemetry to Falcon or other required destinations based on operational and retention needs.
RetainDesign retention around investigation, regulatory and business requirements rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
OptimiseContinuously review ingest, search patterns and security value as the environment changes.
SIEM Migration Australia

Replace the platform without recreating the problem.

Vectra runs a controlled migration programme that protects operational continuity while deliberately reducing legacy noise, obsolete content and unnecessary ingest. The objective is a better SOC—not a pixel-for-pixel recreation of the old one.

01
DISCOVERBaseline current architecture, log sources, detections, dashboards, workflows, retention, integrations, costs and operational dependencies.
02
PRIORITISEMap telemetry and content to security use cases, compliance requirements and analyst workflows so migration effort follows value.
03
DESIGNDefine Falcon architecture, data pipelines, retention, roles, detections, automation, governance and target operating model.
04
BUILDOnboard sources, create parsers and transformations, engineer detections, rebuild dashboards and implement workflows.
05
VALIDATETest data quality, detection coverage, search, investigations, response actions, reporting and operational readiness.
06
CUT OVERTransition production operations through an agreed plan with defined fallback, ownership and service continuity.
07
IMPROVETune detections, optimise data, expand automation and mature the SOC after the migration is complete.
Vectra Strike Team

The difference is what happens after you buy the SIEM.

Vectra’s CrowdStrike Strike Team combines SIEM architecture, migration, data engineering, detection engineering, automation and managed security operations. We can deliver a project into your internal SOC, co-manage the platform or operate it as part of a 24×7 service.

Architecture

Design the target platform

Ingestion, retention, integrations, roles, data flows, operational model and security use cases.

Migration

Move with control

Legacy SIEM assessment, content rationalisation, source onboarding, validation and production cutover.

Detection Engineering

Build useful coverage

Correlation logic, custom detections, threat-aligned use cases, testing and continuous tuning.

Automation

Engineer response

Fusion workflows, Charlotte Agentic SOAR, enrichment, case actions and controlled containment.

Operations

Run the platform

24×7 monitoring, investigation, escalation, response coordination and operational improvement.

Governance

Keep the SOC accountable

Documentation, reporting, service reviews, knowledge transfer, audit evidence and platform roadmap.

Where Falcon Next-Gen SIEM Fits

Modernise without forcing the rest of the security stack to change overnight.

Falcon Next-Gen SIEM can ingest and analyse third-party security and IT data, including environments where CrowdStrike is not the incumbent EDR. That allows organisations to modernise the SOC on its own timetable.

Replace a legacy SIEM

Move from platforms that have become expensive, slow or operationally complex while rationalising years of accumulated content.

Expand an existing Falcon estate

Use native endpoint, identity, cloud and other licensed Falcon telemetry as the foundation for broader security operations.

Keep third-party EDR

Use Falcon Next-Gen SIEM with Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne or other security technologies without requiring an immediate rip-and-replace.

Build an Agentic SOC

Prepare the data, workflows and governance required to use coordinated agents safely and effectively.

Consolidate SOC tooling

Reduce separate search, case management, automation and intelligence workflows where the Falcon platform can provide a unified experience.

Operate as a managed SIEM

Use Vectra for engineering and 24×7 operations when maintaining a complete internal SIEM team is not the right model.

What is CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM?

Falcon Next-Gen SIEM is CrowdStrike’s AI-native SIEM platform for ingesting, searching, correlating and investigating Falcon and third-party security data. It brings detection, threat intelligence, case management, automation and AI-assisted security operations together on the Falcon platform.

What is an Agentic SOC?

An Agentic SOC uses governed AI agents alongside human analysts to perform parts of security investigation and response. CrowdStrike’s 2026 Agentic SOC model coordinates agents across endpoint, identity, SaaS, cloud and network domains so they can share context and investigate activity in parallel.

Can Vectra migrate our existing SIEM to CrowdStrike?

Yes. Vectra provides SIEM discovery, architecture, data onboarding, content migration, detection engineering, dashboards, automation, testing, cutover and operational transition for Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.

Do we need to use CrowdStrike EDR to use Falcon Next-Gen SIEM?

No. CrowdStrike states that Falcon Next-Gen SIEM can be purchased as a standalone SIEM and can analyse third-party security and IT data. It can also work with third-party EDR platforms such as Microsoft Defender and SentinelOne.

Is Falcon telemetry charged as SIEM ingestion?

CrowdStrike states that data from licensed Falcon modules is available in Falcon Next-Gen SIEM without additional ingestion charges. Third-party data ingestion depends on the applicable subscription and commercial model.

What is Falcon Onum?

Falcon Onum is CrowdStrike’s AI-powered data pipeline technology for filtering, transforming and routing security telemetry in real time. It helps organisations improve data quality and control unnecessary noise and cost before data reaches security operations.

Can Vectra operate Falcon Next-Gen SIEM for us?

Yes. Vectra can deliver Falcon Next-Gen SIEM into an internal SOC, co-manage the platform or provide 24×7 managed monitoring, investigation, response and ongoing engineering as part of an agreed service model.

How should we start a SIEM migration?

Start by understanding current data sources, security use cases, operational workflows, compliance requirements, dependencies and costs. Vectra uses this assessment to define what should be migrated, redesigned, retired or transformed before production implementation begins.
