Case Study: Pella Corporation strengthens endpoint security and identity protection with CrowdStrike

Pella Corporation reduces privileges by 75% with CrowdStrike

Pella Corporation, a leading U.S. window and door manufacturer, faced an evolving threat landscape with segmented antivirus tools that were insufficient and time-consuming to manage. Security staff lacked visibility and were constantly reacting to incidents, leaving critical manufacturing and ERP systems vulnerable to targeted attacks. To address this, they turned to CrowdStrike for a modern endpoint protection solution.

Pella deployed a range of CrowdStrike products and services including Falcon Complete managed detection and response (MDR) and Falcon Identity Threat Protection. This provided centralized visibility, acted as a force multiplier for the in-house team, and drastically reduced identity-based risk. Results included reducing unnecessary system privileges by 75% and slashing average threat resolution time from hours or days to just 30 minutes, with minimal business disruption. CrowdStrike enabled Pella’s security team to shift from firefighting to strategic projects.
