CrowdStrike reported strong Q2 FY26 results, posting revenue of $1.17 billion, up 21% year-over-year, with subscription revenue at $1.10 billion. Annual recurring revenue (ARR) grew 20% to $4.66 billion, including a record $221 million in net new ARR. Free cash flow also hit a record $284 million, with total cash and equivalents reaching $4.97 billion. Despite a GAAP net loss of $77.7 million, non-GAAP net income rose to a record $237.4 million.
Alongside earnings, CrowdStrike announced its intent to acquire Onum Technology, a specialist in real-time telemetry pipeline management. The move is designed to strengthen Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, which CrowdStrike positions as the “operating system of cybersecurity.” Onum’s stateless, in-memory architecture accelerates onboarding, reduces storage costs by up to 50%, and enables autonomous detection directly in the data pipeline. CrowdStrike said the acquisition eliminates migration bottlenecks and delivers up to 70% faster incident response compared to legacy SIEM workflows.
The quarter also saw new AI-powered offerings including Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security and CrowdStrike Signal, as well as integrations with OpenAI’s compliance API, NVIDIA’s LLM microservices, and AWS for GenAI security workflows. Module adoption continues to rise, with nearly half of customers using six or more modules, underscoring Falcon’s broad platform adoption.

“Our Next-Gen SIEM is the engine that powers the modern SOC, and data is the fuel that makes the engine run,” said George Kurtz, CrowdStrike’s founder and CEO. “Onum is both a pipeline and a filter, which will stream high-quality, filtered data directly into the platform to drive autonomous cybersecurity at scale.”
🌐 Analysis: The Onum acquisition positions CrowdStrike to push deeper into next-generation SIEM, an area where Splunk and Elastic remain strong but are increasingly pressured by cloud-native competitors. By combining Falcon’s AI-driven analytics with Onum’s in-pipeline intelligence, CrowdStrike aims to cut costs and accelerate SOC transformation—an attractive proposition as enterprises face growing AI-driven threats. With Palo Alto Networks and Zscaler also expanding AI security portfolios, consolidation around integrated platforms is accelerating, and CrowdStrike’s record ARR suggests it is capitalizing on this shift.
