Case Study: University of York accelerates security operations with Elastic Security

University of York cuts SIEM query times from hours to seconds with Elastic

The University of York, a major academic institution, needed to replace its incumbent SIEM solution. Its challenge was to find a more flexible and cost-effective security platform to protect its diverse hybrid cloud environment and 22,000 students. The university selected Elastic Security from vendor Elastic for its advanced features and better value.

Elastic implemented its Elastic Security solution on Elastic Cloud, which included a pain-free migration. The results were significant, reducing query times from hours to seconds and providing over a thousand pre-built detection rules. The solution also enabled the university to identify and reduce unnecessary Microsoft licensing costs, optimizing its operational expenses.
