CrowdStrike Falcon for businesses
We deploy CrowdStrike Falcon, a cloud platform that protects computers and servers, detects suspicious activity and lets you respond quickly to an attack. We choose the package (EDR or XDR), supply licences, install the agents and configure the policies.
When companies need CrowdStrike
-
A client or insurer requires EDR
A security questionnaire asks about detecting and responding to incidents on computers. Falcon with EDR covers this, and we agree who receives the alerts.
-
Nobody reads alerts at night
The company has no security team, and an attack can start at the weekend. Falcon alerts go into our Jira ticketing system. 24/7 support is available under an SLA with on-call cover.
-
Laptops work outside the office
Computers used in the field or for remote work rarely connect to the company network. Falcon runs in the cloud, so protection works and alerts arrive wherever the device is.
-
The company has had an incident
After an attack, you need to know what happened and respond faster next time. EDR records events on devices and lets you cut an infected computer off from the network.
CrowdStrike Falcon runs in the cloud: a lightweight agent works on the computer, and threat analysis takes place on the vendor’s side. Protection updates continuously.
Not every company needs EDR. If you are looking for simpler protection, see Bitdefender GravityZone. The other layers of security are covered in our cybersecurity services.
What we do
- Choice of Falcon package: device protection, EDR or XDR
- Licence supply and renewal tracking
- Agent installation on computers and servers, including remotely
- Protection policies and exclusions for company software
- Removal of the existing antivirus software
- Checks that protection is running on every device
- Response to detected threats: device isolation and root cause analysis
Who it is for
- Your company handles financial, medical or design data whose leak would be a serious problem
- System downtime stops production or customer service
- Your servers or services are accessible from the internet
- You already have an EDR tool, but its alerts go unread
First we agree who responds to alerts
EDR without someone to respond to alerts only records events. That is why, before deployment, we agree who handles alerts and during which hours. It can be your team or ours, as part of our managed IT services. Alerts we handle go into our Jira ticketing system.
- Your team with our support
- Our team as part of managed IT services
- 24/7 on-call cover under an SLA
Falcon packages, from device protection to EDR
CrowdStrike sells Falcon in packages. Falcon Go and Pro protect devices, and Falcon Enterprise adds EDR. We propose the simplest package that meets your requirements.
- Falcon Go and Pro: device protection
- Falcon Enterprise: EDR
- Package matched to your client's or insurer's requirements
Deployment that does not block company software
We install the agents on computers and servers, including remotely, and remove the existing antivirus program. Before full deployment, we check that your company software runs without problems and set exclusions where needed.
- Remote installation on computers and servers
- Tests of company software
- Exclusions only where they are needed
How we work
-
Scope and alert handling
We agree what we are protecting, how many devices there are and who will respond to alerts.
-
Design and quote
We propose a Falcon package and the number of licences, and compare it with simpler protection if that would be enough.
-
Deployment
We install the agents, configure policies and exclusions and remove the old software.
-
Handover and documentation
We check that protection is running on every device and hand over a description of the policies and exclusions.
-
Support after deployment
We respond to alerts as part of our managed IT services. When the system detects a threat, we isolate the device and establish what happened.
Pricing
We quote every project individually, after discussing its scope and requirements.
- CrowdStrike Falcon licence
- Price depends on: number of workstations and servers, package (EDR / XDR), licence term.
- Deployment and configuration
- Price depends on: number of devices, programs that need exclusions, migration from the old antivirus.
Experience and partners

Frequently asked questions
What is EDR, and how is it different from antivirus?
Antivirus blocks known threats. EDR (endpoint detection and response) also records what happens on the computer, detects suspicious behaviour and lets you cut the device off from the network with one click. XDR (extended detection and response) combines this data with other sources, such as email and accounts.
CrowdStrike or Bitdefender?
Bitdefender is enough for most small and medium-sized companies. We propose CrowdStrike when you need advanced detection and response, or when a client or insurer requires it.
How much does CrowdStrike cost?
We quote individually. The price depends on the number of devices, the package and the licence term. Deployment is priced separately, depending on the number of devices and programs that need exclusions.
Will CrowdStrike slow down our computers?
Usually not. The Falcon agent is lightweight, and the analysis takes place in the cloud. We test company software before full deployment.
