About The Customer
Greenhill is a global independent investment bank headquartered in New York City, specializing in advising corporations, partnerships, institutions, and governments on financing, restructuring, raising capital, and mergers and acquisitions. The firm operates from 17 offices across five continents, focusing on client services rather than investing, trading, underwriting, or lending. Greenhill's team of managing directors, with an average of over 25 years of experience, provides seasoned insights into all major industries and markets. Known for its independence, discretion, and unconflicted advice, particularly in cases of shareholder activism, Greenhill has strategically grown its services and footprint since its founding in 1996. Despite its mid-market size, the firm faces significant security challenges, especially in protecting sensitive data and complying with financial industry regulations.
The Challenge
Greenhill, a global independent investment bank, faced significant challenges in protecting sensitive data, complying with financial industry regulations, and securing remote employees. The firm operates from 17 offices across five continents, focusing on client services rather than investing or trading. With a mid-market size, Greenhill needed to ensure that its data remained secure, especially with employees using their own devices and connecting from home. The ever-changing threat landscape and the need to maintain a solid defense-in-depth strategy were major concerns for the company.
The Solution
To address its security challenges, Greenhill partnered with CrowdStrike, leveraging the Falcon Complete managed endpoint security for comprehensive protection of global client data. The firm implemented CrowdStrike's solutions for detection and forensics capabilities, leading to additional security deployments, including complete endpoint detection and response (EDR), managed services, and consulting services. The lightweight single agent of the Falcon platform was easy to implement and roll out globally, with agents continually updating to stay ahead of the threat landscape. Greenhill added extra capabilities such as endpoint protection, next-gen antivirus, and Falcon Firewall Management. The Falcon platform, built from the ground up, provided Greenhill with confidence in its security strategy, acting as an extension of its security department.
