Case Study: University of Oklahoma achieves better security visibility and reduced alert fatigue with empow

University of Oklahoma - Customer Case Study

The University of Oklahoma, a large institution with over 40,000 students and staff, faced significant cybersecurity challenges. They were struggling with alert fatigue from a high volume of false positives, slow manual detection of threats like identity theft campaigns, and a lack of network visibility. This resulted in an ineffective and expensive security platform that failed to meet privacy regulations like GDPR. The university required a solution that could automate decisions, reduce noise, and provide wide coverage.

The university selected the empow Security Platform, a next-generation SIEM solution. empow's AI-powered platform autonomously understands attacker intent, enabling it to correlate data and identify real attack stories while drastically cutting false positives. This provided the university with increased security coverage and full network visibility, allowing for faster response times. The implementation helped the University of Oklahoma use its existing security tools more effectively, maintain privacy compliance, and achieve an improved ROI on its security investments.
