Summary

The State of Wyoming has embraced the CrowdStrike Falcon XDR platform to enhance its cybersecurity measures amid a growing business environment and increased cyber risks. Initially, the state's Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) sought a modern solution to replace outdated antivirus software that failed to detect threats effectively. The CrowdStrike platform was chosen for its AI-powered detection capabilities and seamless deployment, leading to a successful transformation of Wyoming's endpoint security. This transition included the adoption of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete for 24/7 managed detection and response, providing a significant boost to the state's internal cybersecurity team. The consolidation of cybersecurity tools under the Falcon platform not only improved the state's ability to thwart identity-related attacks but also offered cost savings and operational efficiencies. With seven years of breach-free security performance, Wyoming is now working with CrowdStrike to extend protections statewide, aiming to integrate cybersecurity efforts across various government levels to safeguard citizen data and digital infrastructure.
