Case Study: Save the Children reduces cyber response time and protects vulnerable lives with CrowdStrike

Save the Children cuts mean-time-to-response from days to minutes with CrowdStrike

Save the Children, a major children's rights nonprofit operating globally, faced sophisticated cyber threats that put its staff and the vulnerable children it serves at risk. Following a 2023 attack, the organization needed a more proactive approach to cybersecurity, lacking real-time visibility and rapid response capabilities across its vast network of users and devices. To address this challenge, they partnered with cybersecurity vendor CrowdStrike.

CrowdStrike implemented its Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR service, which became the cornerstone of their defense, providing 24/7 monitoring and response. The solution was expanded to include Falcon Identity Protection and Falcon Spotlight for enhanced visibility and vulnerability management. The results were immediate and significant; CrowdStrike helped reduce the mean-time-to-response from days to under 70 minutes. This partnership provided critical, real-time threat detection that directly contributed to safeguarding the lives of staff and protecting sensitive data in high-risk regions.
