Case Study: Managed Healthcare Provider Achieves Enhanced Threat Detection and 24/7 Proactive Hunting with CrowdStrike Falcon Host & Overwatch

Healthcare Providing Company - Customer Case Study

A rapidly growing managed healthcare provider (750 endpoints) faced rising concern about sophisticated, stealthy attacks that were evading their traditional layered defenses. Despite an infrastructure refresh and standard security controls, the organization lacked a 24/7 SOC and the proactive detection and hunting capabilities needed to stop advanced targeted threats and phishing aimed at executive accounts.

They deployed CrowdStrike Falcon Host and engaged Falcon Overwatch for continuous adversary hunting. Falcon immediately uncovered two previously unknown malware strains and a targeted phishing campaign, while Overwatch’s proactive hunting detected compromised credentials and enabled response actions (disabling accounts and isolating endpoints) within 15 minutes. The deployment delivered end-to-end endpoint visibility, prioritized alerts, and more efficient use of limited security resources.
