Case Study: Yokogawa Electric strengthens global security monitoring with Elastic Cloud

Yokogawa Electric centralizes 6M daily security events with Elastic Cloud

Yokogawa Electric Corporation, a global manufacturing company, faced the challenge of improving its security monitoring to support its internal and external digital transformation (DX) strategies. As it integrated operational technology with IT and cloud services, the existing outsourced security model was insufficient. The company needed to establish its own global Security Operations Center (SOC) infrastructure to protect against advanced cyber threats. They selected Elastic and its Elastic Cloud service to meet this need.

Elastic implemented its Elastic Cloud solution to collect and analyze logs from a wide range of devices across Yokogawa's 15 global sites. This provided real-time analysis and centralized monitoring of 30,000 devices, processing 6 million events per day. The solution enabled Yokogawa to visualize diverse security data, rapidly detect threats, and develop advanced detection programs using machine learning. This bolstered their security posture and directly supported the company's broader DX initiatives.
