Case Study: Central National Bank of Waco achieves stronger, proactive cybersecurity and improved visibility with CrowdStrike Falcon Complete

Texas Bank Raises Its Cybersecurity Capabilities to the Next Level with CrowdStrike

Central National Bank of Waco is a community commercial bank with four Texas locations, more than $1 billion in assets, 15,000 customers and about 100 employees. Facing heavy regulatory scrutiny, the bank’s CISO identified a reactive, labor-intensive cybersecurity posture—manual threat management, limited visibility and costly processes—after an incident during a forensics audit exposed gaps in detection and reporting.

The bank deployed CrowdStrike Falcon Complete managed detection and response (with additional Falcon modules) to provide cloud-delivered, 24/7 monitoring, automated remediation and clearer alerting and reporting. The solution reduced noise, correlated attack simulations with real findings, eliminated high-severity incidents since deployment, improved visibility for audits and compliance, and gave the team greater confidence in protecting customer assets across ~200 endpoints.
