VIAVI Announces New Integration with CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM
Chandler, Ariz., September 10, 2025 – Viavi Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV) today announced a partnership with CrowdStrike to integrate the VIAVI Observer network observability platform with CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM. VIAVI brings end-user experience insights with network and service performance intelligence into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, providing joint customers with deeper visibility across their security and IT operations.
According to VIAVI's 2025/2026 State of the Network Study, while 79% of organizations are transitioning from siloed network and security operations to converged NetSecOps, only 27% have completed the process. The partnership between VIAVI and CrowdStrike empowers customers to accelerate their NetSecOps journey by combining VIAVI’s network performance intelligence with CrowdStrike’s industry-leading threat intelligence and AI-driven automation. By collecting and retaining high-fidelity forensic data, the Observer platform provides additional insights into how security events impact critical business services, giving customers grea/node/118059ter visibility into cybersecurity threats within their performance management workflows.
"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.”
The Observer platform integration with Falcon Next-Gen SIEM will be demonstrated at CrowdStrike's flagship conference Fal.Con in the U.S. and Europe, along with other events throughout the year.
