Case Study: Thiess strengthens global cybersecurity and achieves rapid ROI with CrowdStrike

Thiess achieves full audit compliance in 18 months with CrowdStrike

Thiess, a global mining services provider, faced significant cybersecurity challenges protecting its IT and OT operations across autonomous mining sites worldwide. Following a 2022 audit that outlined 13 critical initiatives, the company needed a solution to achieve greater visibility, resilience, and global coverage without building a large internal SOC. Thiess chose to partner with CrowdStrike and implemented its Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR service.

By deploying CrowdStrike's unified platform, Thiess consolidated its security operations and achieved full compliance with its audit requirements in just 18 months. The results were substantial, including $2.5 million in savings from decommissioning its outsourced SOC and reducing Microsoft licensing, a dramatic drop in alerts from several per day to just one per month, and response times shrinking from days to under 10 minutes. CrowdStrike enabled Thiess to scale security globally without increasing headcount, even through multiple business acquisitions.
