Case Study: King & Wood Mallesons achieves better threat detection and endpoint security with Elastic

King & Wood Mallesons CISO relies on Elastic to “spot and identify” security threats

King & Wood Mallesons (KWM) is a global law firm of 2,400 lawyers across 28 locations, helping clients navigate Asian markets. Faced with an evolving threat landscape and the challenge of collecting and correlating logs from diverse sources and distributed endpoints, CISO John Reeman needed better visibility to quickly spot and identify security events and understand normal behavior so anomalies could be detected.

KWM implemented Elastic for security operations—aggregating logs, enabling threat hunting, ingesting endpoint data, and experimenting with machine learning on DNS and user behavior. The platform has given the firm richer context, faster identification of suspicious activity, and a maturing security posture that helps them pinpoint threats and protect their global environment.
