Case Study: State of Oklahoma boosts endpoint security and cuts response time with CrowdStrike

State of Oklahoma boosts security efficiency by 60% with CrowdStrike

The State of Oklahoma, a government entity, faced the immense challenge of defending its complex attack surface of 120,000 endpoints against an onslaught of 61 million daily threats. This was exacerbated when the COVID-19 pandemic forced 98% of state employees to become remote workers, removing their traditional network security. They needed to protect critical citizen services and turned to CrowdStrike for a solution, deploying a portfolio that included Falcon Prevent, Falcon Insight EDR, and Falcon Device Control.

By implementing CrowdStrike as a core part of its Zero Trust strategy, the state gained deep visibility into network behaviors and the ability to automatically contain threats. The solution from CrowdStrike increased security team efficiency by 60% and is expected to deliver an ROI of nearly 300%, with estimated cost benefits of $5.7 million over five years. The state can now identify and contain threats in under a minute instead of days, making CrowdStrike a critical force multiplier for its community-based security efforts.
