but locally around here in the state of Wisconsin as well. So we want to ensure that we're very well protecting our people, our culture, and our digital assets. I currently provide IT services for all of Oneida Nation, which is about 17,000 tribal members. All of the technology across Oneida Nation is protected by Palo Alto Networks. Everything from our gaming systems, the slots, our sports betting, to the education, the high schools, the elementary, as well as our health clinics. Prior to partnering with XIM and Palo Alto Networks, I had some concerns of our visibility into our network to be able to be a lot more efficient and proactive on our security. We didn't have a lot of good metrics on our incidents and our response times. We definitely have those metrics now. We have up to 43 seconds to close open incidents, as well as the tracking of total incidents and alerts that are coming in. XIM has helped us consolidate a lot of different features without having multiple different tools. Palo Alto is able to combine those together, and we're able to work within a single platform. XIM has definitely had some measurable impacts, not only of cost savings of up to 20% or more on our data ingestion. The AI analytics within XIM have actually been an excellent help. Fighting AI with AI is definitely a big thing. Being able to automate and correlate a lot of alerts together, so instead of having 50 alerts, we can correlate them into one or two simple alerts that are tied together. It saves a lot of time and provides us a lot of good feedback and a lot of better information for investigations. The other things that may be considered minutiae are done through AI, and our personnel are available for our customers and the nation at large in protecting our digital assets and our people and our culture. We're looking forward to continue to grow with Palo Alto Networks and continue to mature so that way we're always staying up with the ever-changing threat landscape. Palo Alto Networks
