Case Study: Atlanta Public Schools achieves faster threat detection and automated incident investigations with Exabeam

Atlanta Public Schools Increasing Threat Detection and Automating Incident Investigation

Atlanta Public Schools, a large Georgia district serving about 52,000 students across 88 schools, needed to strengthen its cybersecurity posture against external attackers, tech-savvy students and potential insider threats. Although APS used several best-of-breed security tools, those point products didn’t aggregate logs or reveal the full context of incidents, so investigations were manual, time-consuming and could take days to complete.

APS deployed Exabeam Data Lake and Exabeam Advanced Analytics to centralize unlimited logging and apply UEBA-based detection across its environment. The platform’s predictable pricing made the dual deployment affordable; automated incident timelines now assemble forensic data for investigators, cutting investigation times from days to hours and delivering improved visibility, centralized log management and faster detection of lateral movement and account compromises.
