For teams buried under SIEM data

CrowdStrike's Next-Gen SIEM is powerful. Running it is a second job.

The platform ingests everything. Tuning it, parsing it, hunting in it, and staffing a SOC around it is where teams drown. NextDefend™ takes that weight — as much or as little as you want. Deployed. Sustained. Operated.

Deployed. Sustained. Operated.

Three engagements. You choose how much we carry.

NextDefend™ isn't a ladder you climb — it's three independent ways to engage, matched to how much of the CrowdStrike Next-Gen SIEM burden you want to hand off.

Onboarding

Deploy

What it is

One-time setup and onboarding. We stand up your CrowdStrike Next-Gen SIEM correctly from day one — data sources connected, Cribl Stream pipelines built, parsers written, dashboards live.

Who it's for

Teams with the staff to run it day-to-day, but who want it architected right the first time.

Outcome

A production-ready Next-Gen SIEM, properly engineered, handed to your team.

Includes

Data source onboarding — endpoints, identity, cloud, network, SaaS connected and normalized
Cribl Stream pipeline architecture — efficient routing, filtering, and transformation at ingest
Custom parser development — any log format parsed and mapped to CrowdStrike's data model
Detection content — initial rule set built and tuned to your environment
Dashboard and reporting setup — operational visibility from day one

Ongoing Engineering

Sustain

What it is

An annual engineering retainer. We keep your Next-Gen SIEM tuned, current, and healthy — parser development, pipeline optimization, new data-source integration, detection-rule maintenance.

Who it's for

Teams that run their own SOC but don't have dedicated SIEM engineers.

Outcome

A SIEM that stays sharp instead of decaying. Bundle with Deploy for a discount.

Includes

Ongoing parser development — new log sources added as your environment grows
Cribl Stream pipeline optimization — reduce noise, improve fidelity, control ingest costs
Detection rule maintenance — rules tuned as adversary TTPs and your environment evolve
New data-source integration — add coverage as your stack changes
Health monitoring — proactive identification of gaps, failures, and coverage drift

Fully Managed

Operate

Includes 24/7 SOC

What it is

Everything. Onboarding plus ongoing engineering plus a 24/7 Vijilan SOC plus proactive threat hunting. We run the entire Next-Gen SIEM and the operations around it.

Who it's for

Teams that want the outcome — detection and response — without owning any of the operational burden.

Outcome

A fully managed Next-Gen SIEM with round-the-clock human-verified SOC coverage.

Includes

Everything in Deploy and Sustain
Praxis AI Engine — machine-speed triage, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, IOC enrichment, behavioral correlation
Cross-source threat hunting — hypothesis-driven hunts across all ingested data, not just Falcon telemetry
Custom detection content — Vijilan-authored rules, scheduled searches, custom IOAs beyond CrowdStrike defaults
24/7 human-verified SOC — every automated action verified by a human analyst
ThreatContain™ — SOC acts directly on confirmed threats across your environment
Clean Division of Responsibility

We own the layer Falcon Complete can't reach.

On CrowdStrike Next-Gen SIEM, CrowdStrike owns Falcon-native detections, OverWatch hunting on Falcon telemetry, and endpoint-native containment. The Vijilan SOC owns everything else: Vijilan-authored detection rules, third-party passthrough alerts, custom IOAs, scheduled searches, cross-source hunting on non-Falcon data, parser development, Cribl Stream operations, and remediation across systems Falcon Complete can't touch. No duplication. Clean handoff.

We Didn't Just Start Doing This

Frequently asked questions

Is NextDefend a tiered ladder?

No. Deploy, Sustain, and Operate are three independent engagements. You pick the one that matches how much you want to hand off.

When do I get a 24/7 SOC?

Only with Operate. Deploy is onboarding; Sustain is ongoing engineering; Operate adds the fully managed 24/7 SOC and threat hunting.

Can I bundle Deploy and Sustain?

Yes — bundling Sustain with Deploy earns a discount.

How does this avoid overlapping with Falcon Complete?

CrowdStrike owns Falcon-native detection and endpoint containment. Vijilan owns custom rules, third-party data, cross-source hunting, parser development, and remediation beyond the endpoint. No duplication.

How experienced is Vijilan with Next-Gen SIEM?

Vijilan has operated CrowdStrike Next-Gen SIEM since 2023 and supported 50+ organizations across multiple regulated sectors.
