CrowdStrike Falcon Identity Protection Delivers Substantial Benefits in Forrester Study
A recent Total Economic Impact (TEI) study commissioned by CrowdStrike and conducted by Forrester Consulting has revealed that CrowdStrike Falcon Identity Protection delivered significant benefits to organizations, including a 310% return on investment (ROI) and $1.26 million in total benefits over three years. The study found that a composite organization representative of interviewed customers achieved a payback period of under six months.
Key Findings of the Forrester Study
- Significant ROI with Advanced Identity Security: Falcon Identity Protection stopped identity-based attacks with advanced capabilities such as misconfiguration detection, overprivileged account analysis, and lateral attack path prevention. Customers also reported lower cyber insurance premiums due to robust identity controls.
- Reduced Operational Costs with Unified Protection: By consolidating cybersecurity with Falcon Identity Protection, SOC teams unified identity, cloud, and endpoint security on the Falcon platform. This resulted in $167,000 cost savings over three years by eliminating legacy point tools and reducing labor costs.
- Real-Time Detection and Response: The solution was the first to detect simulated attacks during penetration tests, enabling faster incident resolution and reducing overtime hours.
- Enhanced SOC Efficiency: Interviewees reported a significant decline in incident volume, sometimes by more than 90%, related to prevention actions and a dramatic reduction in false positives.
