THE CHALLENGE

One of the primary challenges was transitioning from a traditional antivirus solution to a more robust next-generation antivirus system, specifically the Managed Endpoint Detection and Response (MEDR) service offered by CrowdStrike Falcon Complete. The existing antivirus infrastructure was insufficient for tackling the complexities of modern cyber threats.

CrowdStrike Falcon Complete provides a comprehensive endpoint security solution that delivers advanced protection, real-time threat detection, and streamlined incident response. By choosing MEDR, organizations gain access to a fully managed service that continuously monitors endpoints, quickly identifies potential threats, and responds effectively to incidents. This proactive approach is essential for safeguarding sensitive data and ensuring operational continuity in an increasingly complex cybersecurity landscape.

This transition to MEDR is not just a necessary upgrade; it is a strategic move to fortify defenses against evolving threats and maintain the integrity of business operations.

THE SOLUTION

Netmarks Philippines Inc. proposed the implementation of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete, an advanced cybersecurity platform renowned for its comprehensive features and capabilities

The solution included:

  • Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): Leveraging CrowdStrike’s EDR capabilities, the organization gained real-time detection and response to threats, significantly enhancing its ability to combat malware, ransomware, and other malicious activities.
  • Cybersecurity Threat Intelligence: CrowdStrike’s built-in threat intelligence provided actionable insights into emerging threats and adversarial tactics, enabling the organization to develop proactive defense strategies.
  • Cloud-Native Architecture: The cloud-based design of CrowdStrike ensured seamless scalability and agility, allowing the organization to adapt quickly to evolving security requirements without disruption.
  • Falcon OverWatch: With 24/7 monitoring by a team of expert analysts, the organization benefited from continuous threat detection and rapid response capabilities, ensuring that potential threats were managed effectively.

The CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is the best of the Falcon Platform, delivered as-a-service and backed with a Breach Prevention Warranty.
