Case Study: SNC boosts security operations and speeds threat detection with Elastic Security

SNC ingests 10x more security data with Elastic Security

SNC, a leading aerospace and defense contractor, faced challenges with a sluggish and expensive legacy SIEM managed by an external provider. The system's slow query times and lack of scalability hindered their ability to meet stringent security requirements and client SLAs. To address this, SNC deployed Elastic Security from vendor Elastic to establish a robust, in-house security operations center.

By implementing Elastic's solution, SNC drastically reduced query times from minutes to seconds and scaled to ingest ten times the amount of security data, equivalent to a terabyte daily. This improved performance enabled the launch of a new revenue-generating cloud security service for other defense contractors. Vendor Elastic provided a cost-effective platform that enhanced threat detection, streamlined analyst workflows, and fostered improved collaboration within their security teams.
