Case Study: Lasselsberger Group strengthens ransomware defense and slashes IT admin time with CrowdStrike Falcon

Leading Eurasian Raw Materials, Building Materials and Ceramic Tile Producer Relies on Advanced Cloud-based IT Security to Protect Against Ransomware

Lasselsberger Group is a family-owned Eurasian producer of raw materials, building materials and ceramic tiles with operations across Central and Eastern Europe. As the company shifted to a cloud-first strategy it faced urgent IT security challenges — insufficient protection against ransomware and modern attacks, blind spots from legacy signature-based AV, high false positives and heavy administrative overhead.

Lasselsberger deployed the CrowdStrike Falcon platform (Falcon Prevent, Falcon Insight EDR, Falcon OverWatch managed threat hunting and Essential Support) across ~2,500 endpoints with a smooth rollout and a lightweight agent. The move cut administration from about one day per week to one hour, reduced antivirus exceptions from hundreds to 5–10, uncovered Spectre/Meltdown issues on ~300 devices, and delivered significantly higher detection of behavior-based threats, backed by 24/7 OverWatch and highly praised support.
