CrowdStrike Partner Australia

CrowdStrike Falcon is the leading endpoint protection and security platform globally. Gridware deploys, manages, and tunes the Falcon platform for Australian organisations, with depth across Falcon Complete managed MDR and Falcon Next-Gen SIEM. We work with mid-market and enterprise clients already running CrowdStrike or evaluating a move from legacy EDR.

CrowdStrike services from Gridware

Four offerings covering deployment, day-to-day operation, and platform consolidation.

1. Falcon deployment and tuning

Roll out Falcon across endpoints, identity (Falcon Identity Protection), cloud (Falcon Cloud Security), and exposure management (Falcon Spotlight, Falcon Discover). We tune detection policies to your environment and hand over operating runbooks. The agent is fast to install. The tuning is where the value is.

2. Managed Falcon (CrowdStrike MSSP)

24×7 monitoring, alert triage, and response on the Falcon platform. Gridware runs the day-to-day so your team focuses on remediation, not policy tuning or false-positive chase. Suitable for organisations without dedicated SOC headcount.

3. Falcon Complete co-management

For organisations already using CrowdStrike Falcon Complete, Gridware provides the local Australian layer: change management, asset and identity context, integration with the rest of your security stack, and quarterly posture reviews. Falcon Complete plus a partner that knows your environment.

4. Falcon Next-Gen SIEM

Deploy and operate Falcon Next-Gen SIEM as a consolidation move off legacy SIEM tooling. Includes log source onboarding, detection content engineering, and dashboard build-out for boards and audit committees. We have done the migration. It is not a single weekend.

Why CrowdStrike, and why through a partner

Falcon is the named leader in EDR by Forrester and Gartner, and the platform now extends well beyond endpoint. Identity, cloud workloads, exposure management, and Next-Gen SIEM all run from the same agent and the same console. For Australian mid-market buyers, that consolidation matters operationally. One vendor relationship, one agent footprint, one operating model.

CrowdStrike runs the Falcon platform from Australian regions, which matters for organisations with data residency requirements. The Sydney office signals real local investment without overstating it. Gridware adds Australian-time-zone delivery and the compliance context (Essential Eight, IRAP, APRA CPS 234) that organisations need beyond the platform itself.

Default Falcon configurations produce noise. Detection policies need tuning to the customer environment. Most failed Falcon deployments fail at the operating layer, not at install. Gridware does the tuning and the operating work. The platform earns its budget when it is run properly, not when it is bought.

Why Gridware for CrowdStrike

Gridware holds CrowdStrike partner tier, Elite, Advanced, or Standard, plus any APAC partner recognitions. The tier reflects practical experience: deployments at scale, response engagements on the platform, and direct technical contact into CrowdStrike when complex issues need to escalate.

Gridware Falcon engagements cover professional services, construction, infrastructure, healthcare, and Queensland government supply chain. Our analysts have run Falcon in environments from 200 endpoints to 50,000+. The playbook scales.

Falcon customers get the rest of Gridware too: incident response when something goes seriously wrong, penetration testing to validate your control set, Essential Eight uplift, DSPM, and Varonis where data-layer coverage matters.

FAQs

What does Gridware actually do as a CrowdStrike partner?

We deploy, tune, and operate the Falcon platform for Australian organisations. That covers four delivery modes: implementation only, fully managed Falcon (Gridware MSSP), co-management alongside CrowdStrike Falcon Complete, and Falcon Next-Gen SIEM build-out. We are vendor-certified and CrowdStrike-trained, which means our analysts work directly with CrowdStrike engineering when complex issues arise.

What is the difference between Gridware Managed EDR and CrowdStrike Falcon Complete?

Falcon Complete is CrowdStrike’s own MDR service, run from CrowdStrike’s global SOC. Gridware Managed EDR is delivered by Gridware analysts based locally, with Australian context and direct relationships with your team. Many organisations run both, with Falcon Complete handling the platform layer and Gridware providing the local change-management, integration, and Australian compliance layer.

What is Falcon Next-Gen SIEM and is it a replacement for our current SIEM?

Falcon Next-Gen SIEM is CrowdStrike’s consolidation play. It ingests log data from across your environment and applies the same detection and analytics engine that powers the EDR product. For organisations on Splunk, QRadar, Sentinel, or LogRhythm, it is a credible replacement, particularly where ingest costs have become a problem. Gridware runs the migration assessment first to confirm fit.

Is Gridware certified to deploy Falcon Identity Protection and Falcon Cloud Security too, or just endpoints?

Yes. The Falcon platform consolidation only pays off if a partner can deploy and operate the whole stack. We do.

Can Gridware help us migrate from a legacy AV or EDR to CrowdStrike?

Yes. Migrations from Symantec, McAfee, Sophos, Carbon Black, Defender, and SentinelOne are common engagements. The technical migration is well-understood. The harder part is timing the cutover, handling agent conflicts during transition, and tuning the new policies so the SOC does not drown in week one. Gridware runs both layers.

What partner tier does Gridware hold with CrowdStrike?

The tier is reviewed by CrowdStrike annually and reflects technical certifications, deployment volume, and customer outcomes.

How does pricing for Gridware-managed CrowdStrike work?

We can sell CrowdStrike licensing through our partnership or work alongside an existing licensing arrangement. The managed service fee is separate and scopes to environment size, hours of cover, and any specialised modules in scope.
