Scalable, Secure Log Intelligence: Pure Storage + CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale

By Robert Shields, product marketing director for cyber resilience solutions, Pure Storage, Inc.

Long-term log management has presented challenges for security teams. Learn about a new integration from Pure Storage and CrowdStrike that is purpose-built for the demands of modern SecOps.

The integration of Pure Storage FlashBlade and CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale provides a powerful solution for scalable, secure log intelligence, enabling organizations to maintain on-demand access to years of security logs.

In today’s cybersecurity landscape, organizations face mounting pressure to retain, analyze, and protect enormous volumes of log data – at petabyte scale. Logs must be instantly searchable, tamper-proof, and always available for threat hunting, forensics, compliance, and operational audits. With the new integration of Pure Storage FlashBlade and CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale, enterprises now have a powerful, validated solution to meet these modern requirements with unmatched performance and resilience.

Challenge of Long-term Log Management
Security teams must manage and mine vast troves of log data to detect threats and maintain compliance. But legacy storage systems often buckle under the scale, struggling to deliver the speed, integrity, and cost-efficiency needed for effective log analytics.

Key obstacles include:

• Massive data volumes needing long-term retention for investigations and audits
• Strict compliance requirements demanding immutability, traceability, and low TCO
• Performance bottlenecks during search and analysis
• Ransomware and insider risks that threaten the integrity of critical forensic logs
• Rising costs as log volumes and storage demand scale

Pure Storage + Falcon LogScale: Built for Security at Scale
As announced at Pure//Accelerate 2025, the integration of Pure Storage and CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale directly addresses these challenges. It brings together high-performance, immutable storage from Pure Storage with LogScale’s real-time, index-free log analytics to create a resilient, scalable solution optimized for security operations.

The integration of FlashBlade and Falcon LogScale offers a suite of key benefits that address the most pressing challenges in log data management and security. At the forefront is petabyte-scale performance, enabling organizations to ingest massive volumes of log data while maintaining real-time query capabilities essential for threat hunting and operational visibility.

The solution ensures tamper-proof retention through Pure Storage SafeMode Snapshots and Object Lock features, safeguarding data against deletion or modification – even in the event of credential compromise. This protection is vital for preserving the forensic integrity of log data.

As log volumes grow, cost-efficient scaling becomes critical. The company advanced data reduction technologies maximize storage efficiency and reduce total cost of ownership, helping organizations retain data longer without ballooning infrastructure costs.

Real-time visibility is another major advantage. Falcon LogScale’s index-free architecture allows for ultra-fast search capabilities without the delays or overhead of traditional indexing, ensuring that security teams can access and analyze data the moment it’s ingested.

Finally, the integration delivers seamless resilience, maintaining data integrity and availability even during active cyberattacks or infrastructure failures. This ensures that security operations can continue uninterrupted and that recovery processes are swift and reliable.

Pure Storage FlashBlade: Cyberstorage Engineered for Speed and Resilience
FlashBlade delivers high-performance, unified file and object storage designed for today’s most demanding workloads. For log data, this means:

• Immutable storage: Secure logs that can’t be altered or erased – even under attack
• High availability: 99.9999% uptime and integrated disaster recovery
• Rapid recovery: Restore clean data instantly with no downtime
• Scalability: Effortless expansion to accommodate AI, analytics, and growing telemetry

CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale: Real-time Observability
Falcon LogScale enhances threat visibility and log intelligence with:

• Index-free ingestion: Fast searches without the performance drag of traditional indexing
• Instant search on ingest: Immediate access to security events as they happen
• Long-term data in hot storage: Keep months or years of data instantly accessible
• Built-in efficiency: High throughput at lower compute and storage costs

Accelerate Threat Detection and Compliance
By combining FlashBlade with Falcon LogScale, organizations gain a powerful solution for scalable, secure log intelligence. This integration allows teams to maintain on-demand access to years of security logs, ensuring that historical data is always available for investigations, audits, or compliance checks. With resilient, tamper-proof retention, forensic data remains secure and immutable, protected from deletion or compromise – even in the event of credential misuse.

The solution also supports fast, complex queries without lag, delivering real-time visibility into security events through Falcon LogScale’s index-free architecture and FlashBlade high-performance storage. As a result, organizations can simplify compliance and audit readiness by quickly accessing trustworthy, unaltered log data across extended retention windows. Finally, this integrated platform easily fits into existing security infrastructure, streamlining deployment and accelerating time to value for modern security operations.

This joint solution is purpose-built for the demands of modern SecOps – delivering a log intelligence foundation that’s as secure as it is scalable.
