Elastic at Marathon Petroleum: Security Telemetry
Marathon Petroleum, an energy organization in the United States, uses Kibana from Elastic to support detection engineering for detection engineers.
Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Productivity | Handoffs in detection engineering sit in a shared queue instead of a mailbox trail |
| Risk and compliance | Kibana is the governed place detection engineers use for detection engineering |
| Capability | New joiners can see how detection engineering actually runs |
Story
Marathon Petroleum grew security telemetry faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, energy teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Detection engineers were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Kibana put detection engineering on Elastic. Elastic builds search, observability, and security software on Elasticsearch, used to find information and investigate operational data. Marathon Petroleum keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so detection engineers do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier detection engineering. Security telemetry is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join detection engineers without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
