G.James Strengthens Identity Security and Protects Business Continuity with CrowdStrike

When you’re switching security software, you’re accountable for making the right choices for the business.

The constant threat of ransomware and phishing and compromise within the business … we’ve certainly had our share of near misses. That’s the reason we’ve deployed CrowdStrike identity with custom insights to enforce access and identity policy. Helps me sleep easier at night if I know we’ve got the right mix of products and people in place to properly secure the environment. 

G.James are an Australian manufacturing company making aluminum and glass products. It’s a family-owned business more than 100 years old and still within the family. 

Cybersecurity is probably important for G.James for the same reason it’s important to any company, in that IT has become a critical part of the business. Without IT, the business doesn’t run. And without security, you can’t rely on your IT being there. 

Most of the near misses we’ve had at G.James have been identity compromise. With an account compromise, that really breaks the trust we have with our customers and our customers have with us. They could have potentially severe impacts. 

G. James is a trust organization. Being a family-owned business, there’s a lot of very personal relationships within the business. Having that trust is very important. And that extends to the parties we work with. 

My favorite features within the CrowdStrike platform are the custom insights within identity. Aside from being able to create policy to enforce access and identity policy on our servers, being able to use custom insights quickly has really made my day-to-day a lot easier. 

CrowdStrike for identity has been good because I’ve been able to unify visibility. Being able to report on various attributes and characteristics of objects within our environment and slice that data in different ways has let us focus our efforts on where it’s most needed. 

CrowdStrike identity is another layer in the onion that helps us detect and respond to any identity breach or potential breaches.
