Optum’s Cyber Defense organization utilizes the Elastic Stack within its Security Big Data Lake (SBDL) to search and pivot between cyber threats. The Hadoop and Elastic architecture of the data lake allows correlation and enrichment of logs prior to Elastic ingestion, accelerating investigation timelines. The SBDL can replace and improve on many cyber products offered by third parties at significantly lower cost and risk.
