Case Study: BPG Designs achieves corporate-class, cloud-native cybersecurity with CrowdStrike

CrowdStrike Helps Medium-Sized Business Build Robust CorporateClass Cybersecurity Defense

BPG Designs, a 190‑employee telecommunications design and maintenance firm in Tempe, Arizona, relied on a four‑person IT team and a traditional on‑premises "castle‑and‑moat" infrastructure. The COVID‑19 shift to remote work exposed limits in staff, time and visibility—slow, manual security management and unknown identity risks forced the company to modernize its security posture.

BPG implemented a cloud‑native security stack built on CrowdStrike—deploying Falcon Insight XDR, Falcon OverWatch, Falcon Prevent AV and Falcon Identity Threat Protection, integrated with Zscaler, Proofpoint and Duo—across roughly 200 endpoints. The change delivered corporate‑class protection at SMB cost with near‑instant time‑to‑value, transformed endpoint and identity visibility (including discovery of a privileged guest account), faster remediation, reduced management overhead and an ongoing, supportive partnership.
