Case Study: Hermes Germany cuts security costs and boosts visibility with Elastic Security

Hermes Germany cuts security costs by 50% with Elastic

Hermes Germany, a major logistics company and part of Germany's critical national infrastructure (KRITIS), faced significant performance issues and high costs with its legacy on-premise SIEM solution. The complex system had frequent outages and was misaligned with the company's cloud-first strategy, while its cost made ingesting data from 40,000 handheld delivery scanners prohibitive.

Elastic implemented Elastic Security on Elastic Cloud hosted by Google Cloud Platform. This provided Hermes Germany with a faster, more powerful security platform that halved their costs, gave comprehensive visibility across all endpoints including the handheld scanners, and introduced AI and machine learning to automate workflows. The results included a 50% reduction in costs compared to the previous solution and the elimination of critical blind spots, ensuring compliance and operational excellence for their critical infrastructure.
