In the modern IT ecosystem, securing containerized applications in environments like Kubernetes is vital. Tools like Falco help address this need by providing tooling that can be integrated within Elastic Security. Falco is a cloud-native security tool that provides runtime security across hosts, containers, Kubernetes, and cloud environments.

Elastic Security 8.16 is now available, advancing our mission to streamline security workflows with enhanced data accessibility and AI-driven analytics. Key updates include agentless onboarding for faster cloud security posture management (CSPM) and asset discovery; expanded integrations with Wiz, AWS Security Hub, and Falco for contextualized threat detection; custom knowledge sources for Elastic AI Assistant; and improved support for locally hosted large language models (LLMs).
