In order to integrate the VIAVI Observer network observability technology with the CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, VIAVI Solutions and CrowdStrike announces an alliance. VIAVI gives joint customers greater visibility into their security and IT operations by integrating network and service performance analytics with end-user experience insights into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.
While 79% of organizations are moving from siloed network and security operations to converged NetSecOps, only 27% have finished the process, according to VIAVI’s 2025/2026 State of the Network Study.
Through the combination of VIAVI’s network performance intelligence with CrowdStrike’s industry-leading threat intelligence and AI-driven automation, the alliance enables customers to speed their NetSecOps journey.
Customers have more visibility into cybersecurity threats within their performance management workflows thanks to the Observer platform’s collection and retention of high-fidelity forensic data, which offers more insights into how security events affect vital business services.
The Observer platform integration with Falcon will be demonstrated at CrowdStrike’s flagship conference Fal.Con in the U.S. and Europe, along with other events throughout the year.
Leadership Comments
“As data volumes increase, many vendors have adopted a metadata-based approach to network and security operations convergence, or NetSecOps. Beyond extensive use of metadata, VIAVI also provides high-fidelity forensic data with long-term packet capture and enriched flows,” said Chris Labac, Vice President and General Manager, Network Performance Management and Threat Solutions, VIAVI. “This approach gives a deeper and more accurate understanding of network events compared to what can be achieved with metadata alone.”
“Falcon Next-Gen SIEM is the engine of the modern SOC, unifying customers’ broader security ecosystem with CrowdStrike’s first-party data, native threat intelligence, and AI-powered threat detection and response,” said Michael Rogers, Vice President, Global Alliances, CrowdStrike. “With our announcement to acquire real-time data pipeline platform Onum, we will supercharge Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, enriching, filtering, and starting detection before data even enters Falcon, reducing costs while boosting performance. By integrating the VIAVI Observer platform with Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, we’re helping organizations unify NetOps and SecOps – delivering true convergence, faster detection and response, and the visibility they need to operate with speed, resilience, and confidence.”
