Case Study: University of Westminster achieves 24/7 threat protection with CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR

University of Westminster gains 24/7 protection with CrowdStrike and cuts response time from 24 hours to 1

The University of Westminster, a UK-based institution with over 19,000 students, faced a dramatically changing cyber threat landscape. Its challenges included a high risk of ransomware attacks, a lack of 24/7 security coverage, and insufficient visibility across its diverse operating systems due to legacy antivirus software. To address these issues, the university chose CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR.

CrowdStrike implemented its managed detection and response service, which provided 24/7 protection and unified visibility across all endpoints and servers. The results were immediate, with the university gaining the ability to detect threats its previous solutions missed. CrowdStrike reduced incident response time from 24 hours to just one hour and delivered improved remediation and root-cause analysis of security incidents.
