StepStone is a rapidly expanding business with a growing presence in the U.S. and plans to enter new markets such as blue-collar industries. As a high-profile online business faced with increasingly sophisticated and numerous cyberattacks, security is more important than ever before.

With the threat level increasing and becoming more sophisticated with phishing and malware attacks, the company realized that its existing antivirus products were no longer sufficient. To rectify the situation, StepStone carried out an extensive review of solutions and created a shortlist of three that included CrowdStrike.
