Using a risk based approach to provide cost-effective security

The State of Arizona Enterprise Security team undertook a proof of concept to increase the automation and reporting capabilities of its risk assessment and threat intelligence process. The goal is to analyze large amounts of data using Elastic to produce more accurate risk assessments with prevention, detection, response capabilities, and accurately model the cybersecurity threats the state is facing. This enables the State of Arizona to validate its security posture, be agile to continuously improve and respond to evolving cyber threats, and improve the cost effectiveness of security tools.
