Elastic Security evolves into the first and only AI-driven security analytics solution

In our previous installation, we discussed the history of security information and event management (SIEM) solutions — from collection to organizational detections and finally to response and orchestration. Now, we are firmly in the SIEM 3.0 revolution and focused on applying generative AI to every applicable process in the security operations center with tremendous success.

Zero Trust requires unified data

It’s vital to have a common understanding and shared context for complex technical topics. The previously adopted perimeter model of security has become outdated and inadequate. Zero Trust (ZT) is the current security model being designed and deployed across the US federal government. It’s important to point out that ZT is not a security solution itself. Instead, it’s a security methodology and framework that assumes threats exist both inside and outside of an environment.

Elastic Security | AI Assistant Demo

Elastic AI Assistant can provide real-time, personalized alert insights — empowering security teams to stay one step ahead in the ever-evolving threat landscape. With the power of large language models (LLMs), the AI Assistant can process multiple alerts simultaneously, offering an unprecedented level of insight and customization. You can interact with your data by asking complex questions and receiving context-aware responses tailored to your needs. Watch this demo from James Spiteri, Director of Product Management at Elastic to see what's new in the Elastic AI Assistant in Elastic Security 8.12.

Tracing history: The generative AI revolution in SIEM

The cybersecurity domain mirrors the physical space, with the security operations center (SOC) acting as your digital police department. Cybersecurity analysts are like the police, working to deter cybercriminals from attempting attacks on their organization or stopping them in their tracks if they try it. When an attack occurs, incident responders, akin to digital detectives, piece together clues from many different sources to determine the order and details of events before building a remediation plan.

5 reasons why observability and security work well together

Site reliability engineers (SREs) and security analysts — despite having very different roles — share a lot of the same goals. They both employ proactive monitoring and incident response strategies to identify and address potential issues before they become service impacting. They also both prioritize organizational stability and resilience, aiming to minimize downtime and disruptions.
