VIAVI Solutions Inc. announced on September 10, 2025, a partnership with CrowdStrike to integrate the VIAVI Observer network observability platform with CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM. This collaboration aims to provide joint customers with deeper visibility across their security and IT operations. The integration brings end-user experience insights with network and service performance intelligence into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.
According to VIAVI's 2025/2026 State of the Network Study, 79% of organizations are transitioning from siloed network and security operations to converged NetSecOps, though only 27% have completed the process. This partnership 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. The Observer platform provides high-fidelity forensic data with long-term packet capture and enriched flows, offering a deeper understanding of network events.
Chris Labac, Vice President and General Manager, Network Performance Management and Threat Solutions, VIAVI, emphasized that this approach provides a more accurate understanding of network events compared to metadata alone. Michael Rogers, Vice President, Global Alliances, CrowdStrike, stated that the integration helps organizations unify NetOps and SecOps, delivering true convergence, faster detection and response, and the visibility needed to operate with speed, resilience, and confidence.
