Most public sector security teams are running 2026 threat volumes through tools that bill by ingest, force manual correlation across portals, and break under the data load. The agencies that have moved past that constraint did not buy more tools. They consolidated.

This Elastic ebook collects nine examples of how government, defense, education, and healthcare teams rebuilt their security operations around a single data layer. A few of the stories inside:

• CISA gained continuous visibility across 100+ federal agencies without moving their data
• Oak Ridge National Laboratory cut 15-minute searches down to seconds after leaving Splunk
• Texas A&M reduced incident resolution time by 99% and reclaimed 100+ analyst hours a month
• A European police force now ingests 10x more data than their legacy SIEM allowed
• Nebraska Medicine secured 70,000 endpoints across hospitals, clinics, and connected medical devices
