Case Study: GMG reduces annual incident remediations by over 96% with CrowdStrike
Key results
The challenge
GMG, a Middle East and Asia retail and distribution group founded in 1977 with over 500 stores and 120 brands, faced about 10,000 malware and phishing attacks a month across roughly 3,500 endpoints. Before deploying CrowdStrike, the team dealt with around five security incidents per month.
The solution
GMG adopted CrowdStrike Falcon Complete managed detection and response together with Falcon OverWatch managed threat hunting, running the single Falcon agent across its endpoint estate with plans to add a further 1,500 endpoints.
“CrowdStrike is designed to protect our customers, staff and the business and that is what it has achieved. The value that delivers cannot be quantified.”

The results, in context
GMG reduced annual incident remediations by over 96%, moving from roughly five incidents per month to one or two per year. Threat investigations are now usually closed within 12 hours instead of the prior three to five days.
