Case Study: Leading Global Oil and Gas Company achieves real-time detection and prevention of unknown threats with CrowdStrike Falcon Host

Leading Global Oil and Gas Company - Customer Case Study

A leading global oil and gas company needed stronger endpoint protection and full visibility into sophisticated, signature‑less attacks across its large, complex environment. Their security team required real‑time detection and containment of unknown threats (including alerting on new unknown hashes propagating across endpoints), reduction of alert fatigue, and the ability to fine‑tune prevention controls while augmenting threat‑hunting capabilities.

The company deployed CrowdStrike Falcon Host across more than 100,000 endpoints, backed by Falcon Overwatch, Falcon DNS and Falcon Intelligence, to deliver real‑time alerts, prevention, and end‑to‑end visibility on‑ and off‑network. The solution allowed rapid, non‑disruptive deployment, automated escalation based on propagation rates, proactive 24/7 hunting, and a measurable reduction in noisy alerts while improving detection and prevention of previously unknown threats.
