EY US has chosen CrowdStrike Falcon -Gen SIEM as the platform for its global cybersecurity managed services.
Collaboration rationale
The transition is partly driven by the emergence of faster, AI-powered threats that are challenging to combat with older SIEM systems. According to statements from both organisations, the new platform will combine CrowdStrike's AI-native capabilities with EY US's managed services to deliver improved and swifter cybersecurity outcomes.
The companies highlight several key benefits for clients. One of these is what they describe as 'accelerated migration', with EY US professionals assisting enterprises in moving off legacy SIEM technology and realising increased efficiencies, including speeds up to 150% faster than systems.
Additionally, Falcon -Gen SIEM brings together data from across the platform, third-party integrations, real-time threat intelligence, and automation powered by artificial intelligence. This unified approach aims to enhance enterprise-wide visibility, and boost detection and response times to security incidents.
Modern security operations
In addition to technological improvements, the partnership is expected to facilitate what EY refers to as a -generation operating model. This model is designed to help clients derive greater value from data, reducing their operational overheads and increasing cost predictability while supporting accelerated adoption of AI-driven tools.
EY's global Security Operations Centre (SOC) experience underpins the managed services, designed to bolster both cyber and operational resilience for clients around the world. This includes 24/7 advanced defence capabilities across 160 countries, with offerings such as reduction of attack surface exposure, protection of digital identities, and ongoing cyber risk management.
As part of the arrangement, CrowdStrike's approach of consolidating data onto a single platform is intended to offer comprehensive visibility at scale, while managing the costs and complexity typically associated with older solutions.
Data consolidation and steps
The move is further supported by CrowdStrike's recent acquisition of Onum, a real-time data pipeline platform, expected to strengthen the -Gen SIEM's data processing capabilities.
