Bold claim: Kroll is reshaping the MDR landscape by teaming up with CrowdStrike to deliver nonstop, expert-led protection across a global client base. This collaboration merges Kroll’s deep cyber expertise with CrowdStrike Falcon’s unified, AI-native platform to elevate managed detection and response (MDR) services worldwide.
Overview of the partnership
Kroll, a leading independent provider of global financial and risk advisory solutions, and CrowdStrike (CRWD) have announced a multiyear strategic alliance aimed at accelerating cyber resilience for customers around the world. As part of the agreement, Kroll plans to migrate protection for more than 500,000 endpoints to the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, powered by Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR through the Falcon Complete for Service Providers program. By consolidating multiple legacy tools and point products onto CrowdStrike’s single, integrated platform, Kroll will speed up detection, investigation, and full-cycle remediation while continuing to deliver top-tier cyber advisory and incident response services.
Key performance expectations
Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR is expected to deliver a 75% reduction in mean time to respond (MTTR) and to resolve more than 13 million detections annually. This performance underscores the platform’s ability to blend expert-led operations with AI-driven automation to stop breaches quickly and accurately.
