Case Study: StepStone achieves protection for millions of jobseekers' personal data with CrowdStrike

CrowdStrike Helps Leading Digital Recruitment Business Protect Personal Content for Thousands of Jobseekers Worldwide

StepStone, a leading digital recruitment platform active in 20+ countries and handling over 100 million job applications a year, faced growing cyber risk as attackers became more sophisticated. Protecting highly sensitive candidate personally identifiable information was critical, and the company found its legacy antivirus tools and endpoint defenses no longer sufficient.

StepStone chose CrowdStrike’s cloud-native, next‑generation endpoint platform for its unified dashboard, heuristic detection and managed threat hunting. CrowdStrike was deployed to 3,600 endpoints in six weeks with a light footprint (<1% CPU), combined automated and human intelligence to detect and block threats (including variants missed by traditional tools), reduced maintenance overhead and rebuilds, and gave the business greater confidence in protecting candidate data.
