Case Study: Geisinger achieves unified, rapid AWS cloud workload protection for its EHR migration with CrowdStrike

Geisinger Expands CrowdStrike Usage to Protect AWS Cloud Workloads

Geisinger Health System, a large U.S. healthcare provider, moved its electronic health record to AWS in 2021 — migrating roughly 400 applications and sensitive patient data — and needed a simple, comprehensive way to protect cloud workloads while complementing its existing on‑premises protections. Familiar with the shared responsibility model and already using CrowdStrike for endpoint security, Geisinger sought a streamlined solution to secure PCs, servers and Kubernetes pods across its cloud migration.

Geisinger deployed the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, including Falcon Cloud Security and Falcon Complete Cloud Security, using a single‑agent, single console approach that integrated with AWS services and provided fully managed detection and response backed by a Breach Prevention Warranty. The result: cloud protection rolled out in minutes rather than weeks, one platform to secure the entire infrastructure with no extra training or gaps, and the ability to keep focus on patient care while reducing cost and complexity.
