About The Customer

Copart, Inc., headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a global leader in online vehicle auctions and a premier destination for the resale and remarketing of vehicles. The company operates an innovative technology and online auction platform that connects buyers and sellers worldwide. With more than 200 locations in 11 countries, Copart auctions over 125,000 vehicles daily. The company employs 6,000 people and is committed to maintaining a robust information security infrastructure to protect its operations and customer data. Copart's CISO, Joshua Danielson, is focused on enhancing the company's security measures to address evolving cyber threats and ensure the safety of its digital assets.

The Challenge

Copart's information security team was operating a full stack of security products to protect its 6,000 employees. However, the CISO, Joshua Danielson, sought a more robust security stack that could provide real-time visibility into threats and prevent attacks across the kill chain. The primary challenge was to find a solution that could eliminate 'end-run' attacks, which typical defenses often miss, and provide detailed, actionable information. Additionally, the solution needed to be easy to deploy and use, despite its powerful capabilities. Danielson wanted a proven endpoint detection and response (EDR) solution that could integrate well with various products and provide high-quality threat intelligence.

The Solution

After an extensive evaluation of solutions, Copart selected the CrowdStrike Falcon platform for its superior real-time monitoring capabilities that cover detection, response, and forensics. The platform ensures that Copart misses nothing and leaves attackers with no place to hide. The CrowdStrike Falcon platform is distinguished by its threat intelligence capability, which provides high-quality, useful alerts, and its lightweight agent with a small footprint and open API for integration with various products. The Falcon Intelligence team enables Copart to understand which worldwide adversaries could be targeting its assets, providing valuable intelligence for the board of directors. This intelligence allows Copart to align business risk and justify additional resources for its security program.

Operational Impact

The deployment of CrowdStrike technology has led to increased employee productivity across the company, as systems are no longer down due to cyber threats.
The information security team can make more efficient use of their time, thanks to CrowdStrike's actionable intelligence, which filters out noise and false positives.
Copart can educate its customers about the importance of cybersecurity, ensuring that customer information is secure and meeting their expectations for a leading vehicle auction company.
The threat landscape is better understood, allowing Copart to adapt to more sophisticated adversaries and attack cycles.
