Case Study: Aflac achieves simpler, more efficient security operations with CrowdStrike Falcon Platform

Aflac Drives Consolidation with the Falcon Platform, Eliminating 15 Point Security Tools in Three Years

Aflac, a major insurer, faced the challenge of modernizing its security operations and reducing a large number of point tools while improving detection quality. Working with CrowdStrike and the Falcon Platform, including Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR and Falcon Identity Protection, Aflac sought a more efficient, scalable approach to cybersecurity as threats evolved.

CrowdStrike helped Aflac consolidate security by eliminating 15 point tools in three years and shifting from manual detections to AI-driven, risk-based alerting. The results included 20x fewer alerts, a leaner SOC, and half the team freed to focus on higher-value work such as engineering, vulnerability management, automation, and AI. CrowdStrike also strengthened Aflac’s Zero Trust posture with tighter access controls, micro-segmentation, and auto-MFA to reduce breach impact.
