Case Study: Coventry University achieves faster incident response and stronger endpoint security with CrowdStrike

Coventry University cuts cyber threat response time by 94% with CrowdStrike

Coventry University, a major UK-based educational institution, faced significant security challenges due to its volatile global environment with thousands of diverse devices connecting to its network. The university's reactive security stance, which relied heavily on time-consuming disk reimaging, was inefficient against sophisticated cyber threats targeting its valuable intellectual property. To address these endpoint security vulnerabilities, the university turned to CrowdStrike and deployed the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, including Falcon Complete managed detection and response.

The implementation of CrowdStrike's comprehensive solution provided immediate and transformative results. CrowdStrike enabled the security team to reduce threat resolution time from days to minutes, completely eliminated the need for weekly machine reimaging due to malware, and cut time spent resolving cyber threats by 94%. The university now operates with vastly improved visibility and control, successfully stopping zero-day attacks and preventing security incidents across its hybrid infrastructure.
