Fluency vs. CrowdStrike Falcon SIEM

Why SOCs are looking beyond CrowdStrike for detection depth and AI autonomy. See how Fluency delivers faster, smarter, more complete protection.

AI Implementation

Where Falcon's SIEM Stops, Fluency Begins

CrowdStrike excels at endpoint protection—but its Falcon SIEM is still emerging. While it inherits data from a world-class EDR, its SIEM logic is minimal and highly dependent on alerts rather than behavior.

BFluency

C–CrowdStrike Falcon SIEM

CrowdStrike Falcon SIEM: CrowdStrike's SIEM is still emerging, primarily serving as an alert forwarding mechanism rather than a true analysis engine. It inherits data from world-class EDR but lacks the depth for comprehensive SOC operations.
• SIEM functions still in development—primarily alert forwarding, not analysis
• No evidence of real-time behavioral streaming or multi-event context handling
• AI focused on EDR detections, not broader SOC workflows
• Remediation is endpoint-based, not SIEM-driven
• Lacks open logic or explainability in detections beyond Falcon events
Fluency: Fluency doesn't just ingest endpoint alerts—it watches all activity in real time, creates behavioral state, and uses AI to determine what to act on and when. It's a full decision-making system.
• Full multi-stage AI workflows: validation, scope, response, review
• Works across cloud, network, identity, and endpoint telemetry—not just EDR
• Closes tickets and updates posture automatically, without waiting for a human
• FPL logic enables clear, explainable automation with real-world context
• Designed to reduce analyst burden—not just surface alerts

Detection Philosophy

Alerts vs. Behavioral Detection

CrowdStrike is built around known threats and signature-rich alerting. Fluency is built around behavioral analytics and process logic—tracking unknown and emerging threats across all telemetry types, not just endpoints.

CrowdStrike Falcon SIEM: CrowdStrike is built around known threats and signature-rich alerting. Its SIEM primarily forwards alerts from Falcon sensors rather than performing deep behavioral analysis.
• Alert-Centric: No first-class behavior modeling outside of EDR context
• Closed Logic: Users cannot see or modify AI reasoning logic
• Stateless Detections: Events are not correlated as a process
• SIEM Still Maturing: Core use is alert forwarding, not real correlation
• Endpoint-Focused: Limited to Falcon sensor data, not cross-platform telemetry
Fluency: Fluency is built around behavioral analytics and process logic—tracking unknown and emerging threats across all telemetry types, not just endpoints.
• Process-Aware: Links events into behavioral chains with memory
• Transparent Logic: FPL-based rules show exactly how detections work
• Cross-Telemetry: Works across firewall, identity, cloud, and EDR sources
• Built for Streaming: Evaluates data live—not after it's indexed
• Behavioral Focus: Detects unknown threats through pattern analysis
