Accelerating NGSIEM Adoption for a European Investment Banking GCC

Background

The client is a Singapore-based Global Education Institute with 25+ campuses across multiple cities and countries. They operate a multi-domain Active Directory environment and handle large-scale data ingestion (~1 TB/day NGSIEM) with multi-module Falcon adoption.

The organization recently implemented CrowdStrike EDR following data protection and insider threat incidents.

Challenges

• Limited visibility into unidentified devices and vulnerable systems across campuses
• Complex multi-domain AD environment, making access and policy management difficult
• Lack of standardized security policies across campuses and schools
• Need to balance network security with academic access requirements
• Existing data sources were not fully integrated, limiting detection coverage
• Requirement to expand data ingestion across student applications, labs, and campus networks

How was it solved

• Deployed Falcon Spotlight and Discover to identify vulnerabilities and discover unmanaged devices
• Implemented Identity Protection to manage access across multiple domains and strengthen security controls
• Upgraded NGSIEM license from 250 GB/day to 1 TB/day to support expanded data indigestion
• Performed threat hunting activities to identify APTs and security gaps
• Enabled data integration across campuses to improve visibility and coverage
• Established a balanced security framework supporting both protection and academic accessibility
