Crowdstrike helps the State of arizona stay ahead Of today's threats and stop Breaches using aws

CrowdStrike partnered with the Arizona Department of Homeland Security’s Cyber Command to secure thousands of state employee devices during a rapid shift to remote work. The team needed a multitenant endpoint detection and response solution that could be deployed quickly, avoid cost overruns, and provide near‑real‑time threat visibility and remediation.

Using CrowdStrike Falcon (hosted on AWS) and the Falcon OverWatch managed threat‑hunting service, the state gained a single dashboard, 24/7 support, and fast detection-to-remediation workflows. The deployment migrated 80% of agencies by the deadline, stopped malware before it spread, passed third‑party penetration tests, and reduced costs by consolidating vendors through AWS Marketplace.
