Restoring Cyber Visibility in 24 Hours

How Kroll and CrowdStrike Helped a Real Estate Investment Firm Cut Cyber Costs by 30%

Executive Summary

When an unexpected lapse in endpoint security licensing caused an immediate loss of security visibility, a U.S.-based real-estate investment firm partnered with Kroll to rapidly restore cyber operations. Kroll executed a same day migration to the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, restoring full monitoring in under 24 hours, automating incident response, and delivering a 30% reduction in total cybersecurity cost of ownership. What began as an urgent operational risk became a more cost-efficient security model designed for long term resilience.

Key Impact at a Glance

  • <24 hours to restore full security monitoring
  • Same day migration of endpoints to CrowdStrike Falcon® EDR
  • 30% reduction in total cybersecurity cost of ownership
  • $386K in cost savings delivered
  • Automated incident response enabled with Falcon® Complete and Fusion SOAR
  • Improved long term detection and resilience across endpoint and log data sources

The Challenge

The organization manages a growing real estate portfolio and relies on continuous security visibility to protect critical business systems. When endpoint security licensing lapsed, the company experienced an immediate loss of endpoint and log visibility, creating operational blind spots and elevated cyber risk.

With security telemetry suddenly unavailable, the organization faced an urgent need to:

  • Restore centralized monitoring immediately
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to undetected threats
  • Establish resilient, long-term security operations

Given the risk profile and time sensitivity, a traditional migration timeline was not viable.

  • Health monitoring improved data

Resilient Operating Model

By pairing the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform with Kroll’s operational expertise, the organization moved beyond recovery to a more sustainable security posture designed to manage emerging threats and changing business needs.

The Outcome
