Case Study: Green Thumb Industries cuts incident response time by more than 90% with CrowdStrike
Key results
The challenge
Green Thumb Industries, a cannabis company operating in 14 states with more than 110 retail locations, 14 cultivation centers, and over 5,000 employees, relied on a legacy security tool that cost eight times more than CrowdStrike. Its six-person security team faced incident response times of four to six hours.
The solution
The company standardized on the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, adding Falcon Insight XDR, Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR, Falcon Exposure Management, Charlotte AI, and Falcon Fusion SOAR over time.
“CrowdStrike kept giving us speed and context as we added modules.”

The results, in context
Green Thumb Industries reduced average incident response time from four to six hours to less than 30 minutes — a reduction of more than 90%. In one case, Falcon Complete responded to and contained an incident in 17 minutes.
