Crowdstrike Next-Gen SIEM Can Now Ingest Microsoft Defender Telemetry
Dark Reading, Friday, April 3rd, 2026
Once CrowdStrike's nemesis, Microsoft is now a collaborator. A shared interest in Formula 1 helped thaw the years-long fierce rivalry.
Last week, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint became the first endpoint detection and response (EDR) solution to be integrated with CrowdStrike's Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, leveraging Defender data to support third-party EDRs.
This new support lets customers use Defender telemetry and controls in CrowdStrike's Next-Gen SIEM.
"We'll tap into that and provide comprehensive security in our platform, even if they're using other endpoint technology," said CrowdStrike CTO Elia Zaitsev.
