CrowdStrike Case Study

EnSafe Inc.

Introduction

This case study of EnSafe Inc. is based on an October 2022 survey of CrowdStrike customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

“Let’s just put it this way, Crowdstrike is the core of our cyber security strategy. From asset management to IDP, we count on Crowdstrike and the Falcon Complete team to keep our environment safe.”

“Within days of deploying NextGen AV/EDR, we got to see Crowdstrike and the Falcon team in action. Response to malware detection was swift and effective. When we brought in IDP, it was a real eye-opener. So many threats/vulnerabilities we had not even considered. Months later now after deploying IDP, I feel much safer about where we are today.”
