Case Study: AARNet strengthens cyber defense with CrowdStrike

AARNET strengthens cyber defense with CrowdStrike amid a 38-university network

AARNet, a non-profit organization owned by Australia’s public universities and the CSIRO, faced the unique challenge of balancing its need for an open academic environment with the requirement for a strong cyber defense against an increasing frequency of attacks. To meet this challenge, AARNet CISO Charles Sterner cited an essential collaboration with the vendor CrowdStrike.

The solution implemented by CrowdStrike provided AARNet with the necessary tools to protect its environment without compromising its open and collaborative nature. While specific metrics are not detailed in the text, the CrowdStrike solution was described as essential for defending against the modern threat landscape, allowing the organization to operate securely.
