Case Study: Lockheed Martin achieves better IT situational awareness with ExtraHop

How Lockheed Martin Uses Wire Data For Situational Awareness

Lockheed Martin’s Federal Health practice needed better visibility into a large, complex, and highly dynamic IT environment serving federal healthcare agencies, including one with 125 million beneficiaries. The team turned to ExtraHop and its wire data analytics to improve insight into application performance, infrastructure, and security while supporting operations across physical, virtual, and cloud environments.

ExtraHop helped Lockheed Martin automatically discover device dependencies, baseline performance during a major data center migration, and strengthen cybersecurity with real-time visibility into request origins and user activity. The results included faster root-cause analysis, proactive alerts in the network operations center, and the discovery of a missed startup script that was causing 20 million database errors per week. ExtraHop also enabled SLA reporting and greater transparency for customers, improving Lockheed Martin’s standing with them.
