TEHIK Boosts Security with Elastic

In the rapidly evolving landscape of digital governance, The Health and Welfare Information Systems Centre (TEHIK) in Estonia stands as a pivotal entity. Tasked with ensuring the secure storage and exchange of sensitive citizen data across various public service sectors, TEHIK navigates the complexities of managing legacy systems and adhering to stringent data protection regulations. Recognizing the need for a robust solution, TEHIK turned to Elastic to enhance its security posture and streamline operational efficiencies.

By deploying Elastic Security and Elastic Observability on a private cloud platform, TEHIK has transformed its approach to data analysis and incident management. The implementation of Elastic's advanced features, including correlation and GeoShape analysis, coupled with user-friendly machine learning tools, has significantly improved TEHIK's ability to detect and respond to potential data misuse. This has not only bolstered the organization's security defenses but has also led to remarkable improvements in critical business processes.

The impact of Elastic's solutions extends beyond security, with the internal control and audit departments experiencing a dramatic reduction in processing times. Tasks that once took days to complete are now accomplished in minutes, freeing up valuable resources for proactive threat hunting and hypothesis testing. Furthermore, Elastic's machine learning capabilities have become an indispensable tool for administrators, enabling them to quickly identify and triage suspected attacks, reducing the burden of false positives and accelerating incident resolution.

Looking ahead, TEHIK is poised to leverage Elastic AI Assistant to further democratize security analysis and empower a wider range of staff to engage with complex data processes. By fostering a collaborative and empowered workforce, TEHIK is not only enhancing resource efficiency but also driving sustainable talent development within the organization. Elastic has truly become a game-changer for TEHIK, enabling them to deliver more value to the business and protect citizen data with unparalleled efficiency.
