From tool procurement to platform architecture: Rethinking the SOC for machine-speed threats

Jul 27, 2026 By Joe DeFever In Elastic
The gap between attacker speed and defender readiness is widening. Attackers can now move from initial access to full domain control in less than a minute using AI.1 Large language model-generated phishing campaigns are achieving click-through rates 4.5 times higher than traditional methods.2 Most enterprise SOCs weren't built for this tempo and fidelity.

Put agentic AI to work: Real-world defense against threats

Jun 18, 2026 By Elastic In Elastic
Attackers are using AI to compress timelines from hours to minutes. Most SOCs, and most security platforms, weren’t built for that speed. Join Elastic Security product and research experts for a look at how modern security teams can detect, investigate, and respond faster using agentic AI. You’ll learn how to: You’ll leave better equipped to reduce investigation time, keep analysts focused on decision-making, and modernize security operations for machine-speed threats without removing humans from the loop.

Monitor Claude activity in Elastic Security

Jun 12, 2026 By Jamie Hynds In Elastic
The agentic security operations platform As more people across an organization start using Claude, security and compliance teams end up asking the same questions they ask about any other system: Who’s using it? How are they signing in? Who’s changing the configuration? Claude’s Compliance API answers all of that. It tracks more than 300 event types across Claude Enterprise, Claude Team, and Claude Platform, and every event arrives with the actor, a timestamp, and where it came from.

Compliance work is overdue for a new approach

Jun 11, 2026 By Smriti In Elastic
Compliance has traditionally lived in dashboards, spreadsheets, screenshots, audit packets, and point-in-time reviews. Security teams know the reality is more dynamic. The evidence auditors need is often buried across identity providers, endpoints, cloud platforms, network controls, vulnerability scanners, alerts, and custom application logs — all generating live operational telemetry that static tools struggle to keep up with.

Agentic SOCs: The public sector's new AI cybersecurity defense

Jun 5, 2026 By John Harmon In Elastic
Adversaries are using AI to launch cyber attacks in record time, forcing security teams to measure responses in seconds instead of hours or days. Detecting these attacks is increasingly difficult. Phishing campaigns built by large language models (LLMs) achieve click-through rates 4.5x higher than traditional methods.1 Public sector organizations are at an inflection point with cybersecurity. Most security stacks in place today weren’t built for this level of speed.

How to overcome data gravity and accelerate AI security in the SOC

Jun 3, 2026 By Joe DeFever In Elastic
Security teams ingest massive volumes of telemetry from endpoints, cloud workloads, identity providers, and network controls. The goal is faster threat detection and shorter incident response times. But the reality is that all of this data becomes harder to move, slower to query, and messier to analyze as it grows. That's data gravity, and it's the biggest barrier to effective AI in cybersecurity.

Protecting critical infrastructure in the AI era: It starts with data

Jun 2, 2026 By Alf Franklin In Elastic
In the public sector, it’s not uncommon for disruptions of critical infrastructure to ripple outward and wreak major havoc on systems and communities whether the cause is a technical issue, a natural disaster, or a cyber attack. As critical infrastructure becomes more connected through distributed systems and IoT devices, the attack surface continues to expand.
