Case Study: Personal Capital improves threat detection and reduces security costs with Elastic Security

Personal Capital protects its wealth management systems and customers from cyberattacks with Elastic Security

Personal Capital, a leading U.S. wealth management and financial advice firm, needed a better way to protect its cloud-based systems and meet strict financial-services data retention requirements. Using Elastic Security on AWS, the company sought faster threat detection, stronger visibility across its AWS IaaS environment, and more efficient compliance support.

Elastic implemented Elastic Security with cloud and endpoint monitoring, API integrations, and unified data ingestion from multiple sources. The result was dramatically reduced mean time to respond, improved threat detection and investigation, and more cost-effective data management with Frozen Tier and Searchable Snapshots; Personal Capital also reported lower, usage-based costs and better control over security data lifecycle and annual spend.
