Boys Town serves as a lifeline for communities—supporting a police station, fire station, school system, and even the National Suicide Hotline. Today, they reach over two million children and families across America. But in the digital age, the threats they face evolve by the minute. They needed a security solution that could detect both known threats and suspicious behaviors their workstations should never be performing.
Their previous environment was bogged down by slow systems, and the culprit turned out to be their existing endpoint protection. With a small IT staff, Boys Town needed something powerful yet easy to manage—one that wouldn’t demand the equivalent of half an employee’s workload. They wanted light resource usage, advanced behavioral detection beyond traditional pattern-based methods, and minimal ongoing maintenance.
Other solutions, like Carbon Black, seemed too intrusive and resource-heavy. SentinelOne was different. The installation was straightforward—agents were deployed, workstations checked in, and everything ran smoothly. The team quickly learned that if SentinelOne issued an alert, it was real. Follow-up scans consistently confirmed there was nothing left behind.
SentinelOne’s single-agent design, providing both EPP and EDR, streamlined their endpoint technology stack. Integration with Splunk, their operational and threat intelligence platform, allowed IT operations and InfoSec teams to collaborate more closely than ever before. The result? Dramatically reduced identification, containment, and eradication times.
Most importantly, SentinelOne helps protect what matters most—the youth Boys Town serves. By keeping their workstations free from infection and disruption, the organization ensures these young people can stay focused on their work, their education, and their future.
