A quantitative approach to prompt tuning and LLM evaluation Elastic has long been developing machine learning (ML) and AI-powered security detections. We constantly bring in new technologies when available to help make our users’ lives easier. So, with the rise of generative AI (GenAI), we have developed even more Elastic Security features to use this powerful, new technology. Among those are.

Fraud in financial services is becoming more sophisticated, costing the industry billions annually and eroding customer trust. Recently, Deloitte published an article highlighting the risk AI brings in the form of fraudsters to the financial services industry: “Fake content has never been easier to create — or harder to catch. As threats grow, banks can invest in AI and other technologies to help detect fraud and prevent losses.”

Delivering exceptional performance and protection in rigorous evaluations Elastic Security has achieved remarkable results in the recent AV-Comparatives Business Security Test. This independent assessment underscores our commitment to providing world-class malware protection.

Implement AI-driven security analytics faster on Elastic Cloud Serverless, the easiest way to harness the innovations of Elastic Security Elastic Security on Elastic Cloud Serverless is now generally available. You can launch a deployment in minutes — no prior experience required. Serverless projects are fully managed, minimizing total cost of ownership (TCO) and providing immediate access to the powerful features of the Elastic Search AI Platform and Elastic Security.

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).

By collecting, analyzing, and leveraging data from security events, security analytics empowers teams to proactively detect anomalies and pinpoint vulnerabilities to mitigate targeted attacks, insider threats, and advanced persistent threats (APTs).

In today’s increasingly complex and evolving threat landscape, Security Operations Centers (SOCs) have become the nerve center for protecting critical national and local government assets. Building and maintaining an in-house SOC is often beyond the reach of many government agencies due to budget constraints, the need for skilled personnel, and the rapid growth of cyber threats.

Mitigating risk based on the threat landscape is a complicated yet essential part of being a CISO, which is why threat reports like the 2024 Elastic Global Threat Report are a huge help for me. In addition to providing an in-depth understanding of what’s happening, threat reports also offer a quick overview of what needs to be explained or communicated to the rest of the organization.
