We stop breaches together
with CrowdStrike.

CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM is CrowdStrike's cloud-native, index-free SIEM: it ingests telemetry from across the environment — endpoint, identity, cloud, network, SaaS — for detection, hunting and compliance. NextDefend™ is Vijilan's fully managed service for it, delivered as Deploy · Sustain · Operate.

Flexibly, around what you already have. If you run Falcon Complete and Adversary OverWatch, NextDefend™ complements them and extends protection across cloud, identity, network and SaaS through Falcon Next-Gen SIEM. If you don’t, we scope the right plan for your environment, often pairing your internal IT team with our 24/7 SOC, so you get full coverage either way.

It is a joint effort. Vijilan acts on every system we hold API access to, including endpoint, identity, cloud, network and SaaS. Where we cannot act directly, such as your business systems, change windows and users, we hand you a runbook and stay on the call until you are recovered.

Separately from the service. You can buy the platform direct from CrowdStrike, through a VAR, or through Vijilan as a CrowdStrike Powered Service Provider. Vijilan advises on sizing, retention tiers and licensing regardless of the path.

Yes. Vijilan is a CrowdStrike MSSP Partner and Powered Service Provider, and we deliver as the white-label SOC and engineering engine behind MSSPs serving mid-market and large enterprises. Engagements can be transacted through your existing paper with SHI, CDW and TD SYNNEX.

Because the window between an initial compromise and an attacker moving laterally has collapsed. Once an adversary reaches a second system, the incident stops being a containment problem and becomes a recovery problem, which costs orders of magnitude more. Detecting inside that window is not enough on its own: something has to act inside it. That is the case for machine speed on the containment step specifically, and it is why Vijilan measures median time to contain on pre-authorized actions rather than time to alert.

Because the decision is made in advance, not during the incident. During onboarding the customer authorizes a specific set of containment actions, such as isolating a host, disabling an account or revoking a token, under defined conditions. When those conditions are met, Praxis AI™ executes without waiting for a handoff, which is where the roughly one-minute median comes from. Anything outside that pre-authorized set waits for a Vijilan analyst to authorize it. The judgement happens earlier rather than not at all, which is why Vijilan describes it as human-governed response rather than autonomous response.

Critical incidents carry a 15-minute acknowledgment and 30-minute initial response; High is 30 minutes and 1 hour. Median time to contain is roughly one minute on pre-authorized actions. Full severity definitions are in the service description.

Praxis AI™ is the SOC platform Vijilan built. It is the SOC operations layer: it correlates telemetry across every connected source, triages and ranks the queue, and orchestrates response across the systems Vijilan can reach by API. Praxis runs alongside CrowdStrike’s own platform intelligence inside Falcon Next-Gen SIEM rather than replacing it, and it extends the same operating standard to third-party sources Falcon does not own.

No, and deliberately not. Vijilan describes NextDefend™ as human-governed response, never autonomous response. Praxis AI™ removes the latency before a decision; a Vijilan analyst still owns the decision at every layer, including what counts as a detection, what is escalated to you, and whether a consequential containment action is taken. Containment actions are pre-authorized by the customer in advance and executed under analyst oversight, with 24/7/365 human coverage.

It means three specific handoffs are human, not automatic. At detection, a Vijilan analyst owns tuning, suppression and promotion rather than accepting a default ruleset. At escalation, a Tier 2 or Tier 3 analyst decides what reaches the customer and how urgently, rather than a score crossing a threshold. At response, an analyst authorizes consequential action. Praxis AI™ does the correlation, ranking and orchestration in seconds around those three decisions.

They operate at different layers and are complementary. CrowdStrike’s platform intelligence works inside Falcon. Praxis AI™ is the SOC operations layer above it: analyst workflow, triage queue and response orchestration spanning third-party telemetry as well as Falcon data. Vijilan does not position Praxis as a replacement for, or a competitor to, any CrowdStrike capability.

They are the three phases of NextDefend™. Deploy is professional services: architecture and tenant build, third-party data onboarding and parsing, and a detection baseline with a validated handover. Sustain is an optional engineering retainer covering reserved hours, detection-content engineering and ingest pipeline optimization. Operate is the 24/7 SOC, and it is included in every engagement rather than sold as an upgrade.

Either works, and Vijilan engineers both. Falcon Onum is the CrowdStrike-native data control plane and is the default path for new builds. Cribl Stream is fully supported and is often already running in the customer environment. Vijilan parses third-party telemetry to the CrowdStrike Parsing Standard through whichever pipeline the customer runs, and can migrate from one to the other where that is the right call.

Yes. We have migrated customers from Splunk, QRadar, Sentinel, LogRhythm, ArcSight, Elastic and AlienVault to Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, with content translation, parallel run and clean cutover.
