About The Customer

The customer is a large airline operating a comprehensive global route network. They are focused on maintaining high security standards due to the volume of attacks targeting the airline sector. The airline has a significant number of remote workers and a large network of suppliers, contractors, and affiliates, all of which require robust security measures. They sought to enhance their security posture by replacing their existing endpoint solution with a more effective and comprehensive system.

The Challenge

The airline was heavily invested in network protection but lacked visibility into endpoint activities, leaving them vulnerable to sophisticated attacks. Despite significant investments in security technology and personnel, they were concerned about their limited view across the kill chain and the effectiveness of their current endpoint protection tools. They needed a comprehensive solution to better understand and counteract adversaries, improve their security strategy, and effectively prevent and detect attacks.

The Solution

The airline deployed Falcon Host to replace their existing endpoint protection, achieving a fast and efficient rollout. Falcon Host provided enhanced detection capabilities and detailed information about the state of their environment, particularly for remote users. Additionally, Falcon Intelligence was implemented to offer ongoing visibility into the threat landscape, aiding in risk management and mitigation. Falcon Overwatch was also utilized to provide proactive threat hunting capabilities, researching anomalous and suspicious behaviors captured by Falcon Host.

Operational Impact

The airline achieved increased security and visibility across their endpoints, both on and off the corporate network.
Falcon Overwatch provided proactive threat hunting capabilities, enhancing the airline's ability to research and respond to threats.
The airline now has continuous monitoring and recording of all activity on endpoints and servers, improving the operational ability of their Security Operations Center (SOC).
The company has encouraged its network of suppliers, contractors, and affiliates to implement Falcon Host, further securing their operations.
