Pioneering Higher Education Cybersecurity
Operations Center Recognized for Innovative Use of the Elastic
Stack to Detect and Analyze Threats
Elastic N.V. (NYSE: ESTC), the company behind Elasticsearch and
the Elastic Stack, is pleased to recognize its customer, OmniSOC,
has been honored with a 2019 CSO50 Award from IDG's CSO. This
prestigious honor is bestowed upon a select group of organizations
that have demonstrated that their security initiatives have created
outstanding business value and thought leadership.
Based at Indiana University, OmniSOC is the first higher
education joint cybersecurity operations center that brings
together expertise and resources from its founding five
universities to reduce the time from first awareness of a
cybersecurity threat to mitigation. OmniSOC uses the Elastic Stack
as its security analytics platform, utilizing Elasticsearch,
Kibana, Beats, Logstash, and critical features like security,
alerting, and machine learning. The Elastic Stack ingests,
correlates, and analyzes vast quantities of information from
thousands of systems across all of its member institutions in order
to detect security breaches and cybersecurity threats. OmniSOC
security engineers then provide rapid, actionable intelligence back
to its members so that they can mitigate risks, close security
gaps, and prevent future attacks.
“OmniSOC’s innovative use of the Elastic Stack to proactively
hunt down threats and malicious activity is a pioneering effort
that will serve as a model for security in higher education and
beyond,” said Shay Banon, founder and chief executive officer at
Elastic. “We congratulate the OmniSOC team for this well-deserved
recognition from CSO.”
“Higher education faces a unique set of cybersecurity
challenges—securing hundreds of thousands of devices and tens of
thousands of students and faculty members in an economically
efficient way. The Elastic Stack gives us extremely fast access to
the data we need to protect our member universities,” said Tom
Davis, OmniSOC founding executive director and chief information
security officer. “We’re honored to be recognized by CSO for this
innovative joint cybersecurity initiative.”
"Amid the seemingly constant stream of news-making security
breaches, vulnerabilities introduced by new technologies and
increased attention from company boards, today's security leaders
have their plates more than full," said Amy Bennett, executive
editor of CSO. "Our annual CSO50 awards shine a light on projects
that enhance an organization's security posture and also deliver
measurable ROI. We are pleased to give them the recognition they
deserve."
