Case Study: California’s Employment Development Department achieves faster threat response and stronger data protection with Elastic Security

California’s Employment Development Department cuts mean time to response by 99% with Elastic

The California Employment Development Department (EDD) faced the challenge of protecting over 850 billion citizen records from cyber threats while ensuring its critical benefit programs remained accessible. To secure its vast IT environment, which spans 3,000 servers, EDD partnered with Elastic to implement Elastic Security on Elastic Cloud.

By leveraging Elastic's AI-driven security features, EDD gained comprehensive visibility across its systems, enabling its team to quickly identify and prioritize threats. The solution from Elastic reduced the mean time to response by 99% and allowed the security team to efficiently handle 80,000 monthly alerts, ensuring vital services remain protected and available for Californians.
