Leader in advisory services consolidates its managed security operations on CrowdStrike, combining human expertise with intelligent agents to stop breaches at machine speed for customers worldwide

AUSTIN, Texas & CHICAGO -- (Business Wire)

CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) and Grant Thornton Advisors LLC (Grant Thornton Advisors) today announced that Grant Thornton Advisors is standardizing its managed security services on the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, anchored by Falcon® Complete through the Falcon Complete for Service Providers program. Building on this strategy, Grant Thornton Advisors is expanding its global security managed services capabilities – further demonstrating the continued evolution of its multinational platform to serve clients operating across multiple jurisdictions.

The move consolidates Grant Thornton Advisors’ managed security service provider (MSSP) capabilities around a unified operating model, enhancing the ability to deliver leading managed detection and response (MDR) solutions to customers worldwide through CrowdStrike’s Agentic MDR. Using intelligent agents to augment expert analysts, Agentic MDR automates high-friction workflows and scales elite managed protection across enterprise environments to stop AI-accelerated adversaries moving at machine speed. The partnership underscores Grant Thornton Advisors’ continued investment in delivering measurable security outcomes for clients across industries and geographies in key markets around the globe.

"Our clients don't need more tools – they need security that actually works," said Tony Buffomante, national managing partner of cyber and risk services at Grant Thornton Advisors LLC. "With Falcon Complete at the core of our managed security operations, we're pairing CrowdStrike's detection and response capabilities with our advisory, incident response, and managed engineering expertise to help clients move from reactive security postures to proactive, measurable protection wherever our clients are located. That's what outcome-driven security looks like – and it's what our clients are asking for."

In this approach, Grant Thornton Advisors is bringing a new portfolio of managed security services to market, including tiered MDR offerings and managed engineering services. These services layer proactive threat hunting, automated response, and platform optimization on top of Falcon Complete – giving customers more insights from their own telemetry data that leads to a single, integrated path to a stronger security posture and reduced risk. This signals a broader shift in the MDR market as advisory firms move away from legacy MDR and fragmented security operations toward the unified Falcon platform.

The announcement comes amid an aggressive growth period for Grant Thornton Advisors, which has expanded its advisory capabilities through a series of acquisitions – including Auxis, Stax, and the recently-announced agreement to acquire MCA Connect – while building a multinational platform that now spans nearly 20 markets with almost 25,000 professionals.

“Organizations are done stitching together point solutions that simply cannot deliver desired results,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. “The next generation of MDR is moving from tools to services that actually execute. Grant Thornton Advisors’ choice to standardize on Falcon Complete is about bringing a new class of managed security services to market – combining our Agentic MDR with their advisory, engineering, and operational expertise to deliver security outcomes at scale. This is where the market is going.”
