MITRE ATT&CK T1048 - Exfiltration Over Alternative Protocol is a stealth technique adversaries use to smuggle data out of your environment by bypassing traditional security controls.

Public sector data stewardship for the AI era

Artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (GenAI) are rapidly transforming the public sector, moving beyond theoretical possibilities to real-world applications. Proper data preparedness, stewardship, and governance will play critical roles in successful GenAI implementations. We recently hosted a webinar, Public sector data stewardship for the AI era, with industry experts Max Klaps, research director at IDC, and Dave Erickson, distinguished architect at Elastic.

The missing piece of your Zero Trust strategy: A unified data layer

How public sector agencies can solve Zero Trust challenges and break down silos with a unified data layer In the evolving and complex cyber landscape, the Zero Trust approach is instrumental in addressing both internal and external threats.

How Elastic can help organizations achieve CMMC compliance

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a framework established by the US Department of Defense (DoD) to ensure that organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) implement robust cybersecurity measures. As CMMC becomes a key requirement for defense contractors, higher education institutions engaged in research or contracts with the DoD must also comply with its standards.

Will AI start taking cybersecurity jobs?

No, but it’s fundamentally changing them. Generative AI (GenAI) is quickly becoming an essential part of everyday security workflows. So … is it a partner or competitor? The wide-ranging implementation of GenAI technologies into virtually every aspect of the security stack has, on the whole, helped security teams work more efficiently to mitigate threats.
