Case Study: National Ignition Facility achieves maximum uptime and proactive security for tens of thousands of IoT devices with ExtraHop

National Ignition Facility Protects U.S. Nuclear Arsenal and Explores Clean Energy with ExtraHop

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s National Ignition Facility supports U.S. nuclear stewardship and clean energy research and must keep mission‑critical systems running at maximum uptime and performance. The facility faced the challenge of providing proactive oversight and rapid response to both performance and security issues while managing the health of tens of thousands of IoT devices.

By deploying ExtraHop, the NIF gained real‑time network visibility and searchable detection that lets teams quickly identify unsecured connections and mitigate threats before they become incidents. The result is improved uptime and performance, faster response to security and performance issues, and ongoing, proactive maintenance of the facility’s extensive IoT estate.
