Case Study: SA Power Networks strengthens cyber defence and reduces skills strain with CrowdStrike

SA Power Networks secures nearly 3,000 endpoints with CrowdStrike

SA Power Networks, South Australia's sole electricity distributor, faced a heightened cybersecurity threat landscape and a significant skills shortage. Their legacy antivirus solution was inadequate, and as critical infrastructure, they struggled to meet increasing regulatory obligations and secure a large number of remote users. They turned to the CrowdStrike Falcon platform for endpoint detection and response to address these challenges.

CrowdStrike implemented its Falcon Complete managed detection and response service, providing 24/7 monitoring, threat hunting, and incident response. This solution allowed SA Power Networks to securely deploy more devices to field staff and adopt a proactive security posture. The partnership with CrowdStrike resulted in significant efficiencies, cost savings by eliminating the need for a 24/7 internal SOC, and the ability to develop junior staff. Most importantly, the company states they simply do not have incidents on devices protected by CrowdStrike.
