First Ever Virtual Elastic{ON} Gov Summit: Mindsets, solutions, and user stories for mission success in uncertain times

The virtual Elastic{ON} Gov Summit, hosted by Elastic, brought together over 2,000 government agency representatives and partners to foster collaboration amidst social distancing. The event, aimed at replicating the community-building of its in-person counterpart, featured a keynote by Elastic founder Shay Banon, who emphasized the company's mission of "Search. Observe. Protect." and the importance of collaboration. The summit introduced solutions like the FedRAMP "In-Process" GovCloud offering and the new Workplace Search, designed to enhance productivity and security for public sector professionals. Elastic Security was highlighted for its capabilities in threat detection and mitigation, while a user story from Harris County showcased the development of a search tool to aid crime investigations. Attendees were encouraged to continue engaging with the Elastic community through various platforms, with plans for another virtual gathering in October 2020.
