Case Study
U.K. University Gains 24/7 Protection, Visibility and Response with CrowdStrike MDR
The University of Westminster, London's historic first polytechnic founded in 1838, now serves over 19,000 students from 169 nations and employs 2,000+ staff, partnering with nearly 200 UK organizations for placements. Facing COVID-era threats and legacy antivirus limitations that lacked detection/response capabilities, the university adopted CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR. This delivered 24/7 expert threat hunting, real-time visibility across endpoints, automated response to eliminate blind spots, and enterprise-grade protection without expanding internal teams—ensuring continuous safeguarding of academic operations, student data, and partnerships against rapidly evolving cyber risks.
