CrowdStrike Falcon is built to stop breaches, and CrowdStrike works with service partners to deploy and manage it. ThreatDefend™ is both: CrowdStrike’s platform, and Vijilan’s analysts deploying it, watching it and acting on it around the clock.
No credit card needed to start
Your protection is free until January 1, 2027. To keep it running after that, add a payment card before January 1. Cancel before then and you pay nothing.
CrowdStrike Falcon is one of the most capable security platforms a business can run. CrowdStrike works with service partners like Vijilan to deploy and manage it, so a small business gets the platform and the people running it, without building a security team.
ThreatDefend™ is Vijilan's stack and Vijilan's SOC. We bring CrowdStrike Falcon, deploy it against your environment, and run it 24/7/365 with Tier 1 through Tier 3 analysts on every alert. When something is real the SOC acts: host isolation, account disable, token revoke, process kill. Every containment decision is authorized by a trained human analyst, never by an algorithm acting alone.
MXDR
Detection and response across your endpoints, identities, email and cloud, run for you by Vijilan on CrowdStrike Falcon. You get outcomes, not another console.
24/7 SOC
Analysts on shift every hour of every day of the year, Tier 1 through Tier 3, who investigate every alert and contain what is real.
Advisory & compliance
CISO-level advice and audit readiness through ThreatGovern™: a security program, a risk register, and evidence that your controls actually work.
CrowdStrike Falcon on every workstation, watched around the clock.
File, application and domain servers, on premises or in the cloud.
Stolen passwords, hijacked sessions and MFA fatigue in Active Directory and Entra ID.
Business email compromise, risky sign-ins and mailbox rules that forward your mail.
Sign-ins and changes across the cloud services your business runs on.
Firewall and network signal correlated with the endpoint, so the story is whole.
Falcon detects something at 2:14am on a Sunday. What happens next?
Falcon catches it. The difference is who is there to act on it. Large companies keep analysts on shift around the clock; most small businesses do not, and should not have to.
With ThreatDefend™, a Vijilan analyst picks it up, investigates and contains it, and your weekend stays a weekend.
A business that watches its own alerts covers 40 of the 168 hours in a week. The other 128 hours, 76%, are nights, weekends and holidays, with nobody at the desk. A 24/7 SOC covers all 168.
| Hours in a week | 168 |
| Office week (Mon to Fri, 9 to 5) | 40 |
| Outside office hours | 128 |
Covering one seat every hour of the year takes 8,760 hours. One full-time analyst works about 1,800. That is about 5 people for one chair, before anyone is sick, trained or promoted. It is why a 24/7 SOC is bought, not built.
| Hours in a year (24 × 365) | 8,760 |
| Hours one analyst works (estimate, after leave and training) | ~1,800 |
| People needed for one 24/7 seat | ~4.9 |
Both charts are arithmetic on public definitions (a 168-hour week, a 40-hour office week, 8,760 hours in a year) and the commonly used estimate of about 1,800 working hours per full-time analyst. They are not Vijilan performance figures.
The platform is the same CrowdStrike Falcon everywhere. What changes is what your regulators, customers and insurers ask you to prove, so here is what we watch and why, sector by sector.
Ransomware crews target schools because a closed school is pressure to pay. Student records fall under FERPA, and one small IT team covers every building.
ThreatDefend™ on Falcon
Falcon on every staff and lab device, Microsoft 365 and Entra ID sign-ins watched around the clock, and an analyst on shift when the buildings are empty.
A bank has 36 hours to tell its regulator about a notification incident, and a credit union has 72 to tell the NCUA. Examiners ask who watches after hours and how you would know in time.
ThreatDefend™ on Falcon
Account-takeover and business email compromise detection on every banker’s identity, containment on the endpoint, and monthly reports you can put in front of an examiner.
Ransomware that stops scheduling, imaging or the EHR is a patient-safety event. The HIPAA Security Rule expects audit controls, security incident procedures and regular review of system activity.
ThreatDefend™ on Falcon
Falcon on clinical and front-desk workstations, identity monitoring on every login that touches patient data, and containment that isolates one machine instead of closing the clinic.
Ransomware on the ERP or scheduling server stops the line. Customers now send security questionnaires before they renew, and suppliers to defense primes are being asked for CMMC.
ThreatDefend™ on Falcon
Falcon on engineering, office and line-side Windows machines, 24/7 eyes on the servers that run production, and the reporting a customer questionnaire asks for.
Card data brings PCI DSS v4.0 into scope, with its requirements for anti-malware, log review and incident response. Seasonal staff mean accounts that open fast and close late.
ThreatDefend™ on Falcon
Falcon on store and back-office PCs, monitoring of the accounts staff actually use, and an analyst who isolates a machine the moment it starts behaving like a foothold.
Design files, quality records and regulatory submissions are the business. FDA expects device makers to address cybersecurity in their submissions, and hospital customers send security assessments before they buy.
ThreatDefend™ on Falcon
Falcon across engineering and quality systems, identity monitoring on the accounts that reach design data, and documented monitoring you can describe to a hospital security team.
CMMC Level 2, built on NIST SP 800-171, is now written into Department of Defense contracts that involve controlled unclassified information. DFARS 252.204-7012 requires a cyber incident to be reported to DoD within 72 hours.
ThreatDefend™ on Falcon
Around-the-clock monitoring and incident response that line up with the 800-171 families for audit and accountability, incident response and system integrity. We start by scoping where your controlled data lives, because that decides which services may touch it.
It asks for
Audit controls, security incident procedures, and regular review of information system activity.
ThreatDefend supports it with
24/7 monitoring of endpoints and identities, analyst-led incident handling, and monthly activity reports.
It asks for
Protection from malicious software (Requirement 5), logging and monitoring of access (Requirement 10), and an incident response plan (Requirement 12.10).
ThreatDefend supports it with
Falcon next-gen antivirus and EDR, SOC review of what Falcon and the identity logs report, and incident response when something is real.
It asks for
Safeguards for customer information, continuous monitoring, and notice to the regulator within 36 hours (banks) or 72 hours (credit unions).
ThreatDefend supports it with
Detection fast enough to meet a notice window, account-takeover monitoring, and reports written for examiners.
It asks for
Audit and accountability, incident response, and system and information integrity, plus 72-hour incident reporting under DFARS 252.204-7012.
ThreatDefend supports it with
Monitoring and incident response mapped to those families, with documentation an assessor can follow. Scope comes first.
It asks for
Protection of education records, and timely notice to affected people when personal data is breached.
ThreatDefend supports it with
Early detection of the breach you would otherwise learn about from a ransom note.
It asks for
EDR on every endpoint, MFA, and a straight answer to “who watches it after hours?”
ThreatDefend supports it with
CrowdStrike Falcon on every endpoint, watched 24/7/365 by Vijilan analysts.
ThreatDefend supports these requirements. No service makes an organization compliant on its own: your auditor, assessor or examiner decides that, and these summaries are not legal advice.
On 13 August 2026 CrowdStrike extended Project QuiltWorks, its industry coalition for frontier AI risk, to small and medium businesses, and said why a partner matters:
“Most SMBs lack the resources and expertise to access and operationalize these capabilities on their own.”
CrowdStrike builds the platform. Running it every night of the year is the part ThreatDefend™ does for you. Here is exactly how.
Falcon, operationalized by VijilanOperationalizing Falcon is six jobs, every day of the year. With ThreatDefend™ Vijilan does all six, and your part fits in a short list.
CrowdStrike Falcon is licensed through us, so there is no separate vendor contract to sign. We push the sensor to every laptop, workstation and server and set prevention policies for how your business works.
Vijilan does this
An onboarding engineer is assigned when you sign, not after the first incident. Detections are tuned to your environment so the real alert is not buried under noise.
Vijilan does this
Tier 1 through Tier 3 analysts on every alert. Praxis AI™ investigates, enriches and triages first, so the analyst starts with context instead of a raw detection.
Vijilan does this
When something is real the SOC acts: host isolation, account disable, token revoke, process kill. A trained analyst authorizes every containment decision, never an algorithm alone.
Vijilan does this
Full ITDR from the entry tier: Active Directory, Entra ID and Microsoft 365 watched as one surface, because a stolen session token does not trip an endpoint sensor.
Vijilan does this
ThreatLog retention is included on an index-free engine, so the logs an insurer or auditor asks for are kept, and log volume is not a second invoice.
Vijilan does this
Your part
Falcon is CrowdStrike’s. Running it every night is ours.
One accountable SOC instead of a console you log into, with a person making every containment call.

Tier 1 through Tier 3 analysts on every alert. Praxis AI™ investigates, enriches and triages before a human sees it, so the analyst starts with context instead of a raw detection. And when something is real, the SOC acts: host isolation, account disable, token revoke, process kill, rather than forwarding you an alert with a severity label on it.
Every containment decision is authorized by a trained human analyst informed by Praxis, not by an algorithm acting alone. Never autonomous-only.
Most entry-tier managed security is endpoint-only and advisory. ThreatDefend Essential is neither.
Deployed, tuned and operated by Vijilan rather than handed over with a login.
Dark web exposure, impossible travel, MFA fatigue, business email compromise, OAuth abuse, lateral movement.
The identity surface, watched as one thing rather than three consoles.
Index-free, so log volume does not turn into a surprise invoice.
Host isolation and account disable from day one, not from the tier above.
Identity is how small companies actually get breached. A stolen session token does not trip an endpoint sensor. Including ITDR at the entry tier is the difference between covering the attack you imagine and the attack you get.
See all four ThreatDefend tiersThreatDefend fits companies of roughly 25 to 250 people, and it fits hardest between 100 and 250, where you need 24/7 coverage but are nowhere near the headcount that justifies hiring three analysts to cover three shifts.
The conversations that usually start this:
No, it is the other half. We operate the Falcon you own, or we bring licensing as part of ThreatDefend, whichever is cleaner commercially. Nothing gets ripped out.
Falcon Complete is CrowdStrike's own managed service and it is very good at what it does. ThreatDefend is a partner-run alternative on the same Falcon platform, with identity coverage from the entry tier, and our NextDefend™ Operate service adds a 24/7 SOC over the third-party cloud, SaaS and network data in Falcon Next-Gen SIEM. Put the two scopes side by side and choose on what you need covered.
Full comparisonYou are too small to staff one. Three analysts, three shifts, 365 days, plus holidays and attrition, is a headcount problem no 150-person company solves. That is exactly why it is bought as a service.
So do most of the companies we protect. Keep them. We work with them, not around them, and we will talk to them directly if you would like.
No. Praxis AI™ investigates, correlates, enriches and triages. A trained human analyst authorizes every consequential action.
Per asset: endpoints, users, servers and firewalls, with cloud and identity sources such as Microsoft 365 priced per user, and volume discounts as you grow. It is quoted for your business. Register free on our business portal to see your exact price. No credit card is needed to start.
Yes. ThreatRespond™ puts the same 24/7 SOC behind the security tools you already run, such as Microsoft 365, your firewall or another EDR, and we work alongside your IT company rather than replacing it. Tell us what you have and we will cover it in one plan.
Most managed security is sold like an implementation: a scoping call, a bespoke quote, a statement of work, and six weeks before anything is watching anything. At your size that is the reason it never gets bought.
Essential, Advanced or Premium. What the SOC does at each level is fixed and published, so there is no discovery workshop and no custom statement of work to negotiate before anyone can tell you anything.
Roughly how many devices and users, which Falcon modules you need, and a work email. That is the whole qualification. No account to create, and nothing to install to get a number.
We license Falcon, deploy it, tune it and watch it. A single-site rollout is usually live in about three business days.
Elite is the exception and is deliberately not on this list. It is scoped per environment, so it is a conversation rather than a package, and we would rather say that than sell you a service level you cannot buy off a page. If you already have an IT provider you want to keep, say so and we will run ThreatDefend™ behind them instead of around them.
Most businesses run more than one security tool. ThreatRespond™ puts the same 24/7 SOC behind the tools you already have, such as Microsoft 365, your firewall or another EDR, so CrowdStrike and everything around it are watched as one. Already have an IT company? We work with them, not around them.
