Before agency leaders begin to carve out a budget for new cybersecurity technology, it’s worth considering how many of these priorities can be met by as few solutions as possible, thereby reducing tool sprawl, training, and disconnected data.
Many government agencies are already using Elastic Security for threat hunting, endpoint protection, security analytics, and more. In addition, Elastic is serving as a vital unified data layer that connects the pillars of their Zero Trust architecture in order to achieve holistic visibility.
Elastic’s open, collaborative approach leverages the power of community to detect and remediate threats. And because Elastic Security is built on a Search AI Platform, agencies can leverage integrated AI and ML capabilities to detect threats, automate triage, accelerate incident management and root cause analysis, and better understand problems and remedies.
Overall, this memorandum sets a clear direction for federal agencies’ cybersecurity efforts, emphasizing modernization, collaboration, and proactive risk management. As agencies align their budget submissions with these priorities, we can expect to see a more coordinated and robust federal cybersecurity posture in the coming years.
