Racine County aimed to transition from an outdated security model to a modern, automated approach that would enhance visibility into security threats and improve the speed of attack remediation. They needed to build out a Security Operations Center (SOC) while ensuring their limited staff could manage the increasing volume of security data without experiencing burnout. The goal was to implement automation and modernization strategies to maximize efficiency, strengthen security posture, and provide a scalable framework for long-term security operations.
AE Business Solutions implemented Palo Alto Networks (PAN) XSIAM to automate processes and improve SOC efficiency. This solution helped consolidate security functions, reducing the workload on analysts while improving overall visibility. Threat modules and Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) were integrated to harden the security environment, allowing for proactive detection and remediation of vulnerabilities. The AEBS Resident Engineer, provided hands-on guidance throughout the transition, ensuring the team received continuous training and support. By embedding XSOAR and XDR into the XSIAM platform, AEBS helped Racine County unify its security practices under a single, efficient system.
Analysts now focus on critical threats instead of manual tasks, reducing burnout and improving productivity.
XSIAM provides better visibility, enabling faster threat identification and prevention.
Enhanced tracking ensures regulatory compliance and provides actionable security insights.
Clearer security roles improve coordination and incident response.
Automation reduces downtime, lowers costs, and strengthens security resilience.
"Palo Alto XSIAM is a true force multiplier for our county’s IT. XSIAM has greatly improved our cybersecurity posture and SOC capabilities, streamlining threat response through automation, and delivering remarkable value for public-sector budgets."
