Enhancing Security Visibility Across Multi-Campus Education Networks
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
Solution:
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
- Enabled data integration across campuses to improve visibility and coverage
- Established a balanced security framework supporting both protection and academic accessibility
