Summary

The blog post provides a detailed guide on integrating new security data sources into Elastic SIEM, now known as Elastic Security, specifically focusing on adding CrowdStrike Falcon endpoint data. The author, Tony Meehan, shares his experience on the process, which involves using Filebeat to collect data from log files and an Elasticsearch ingest pipeline to convert these logs into the Elastic Common Schema (ECS). This transformation allows users to leverage prebuilt SIEM detections and create custom detection rules to enhance security measures. The guide outlines the configuration of Filebeat for log data collection and JSON decoding, followed by mapping CrowdStrike fields to ECS using an Elasticsearch ingest pipeline, which categorizes alerts as malware events. It highlights the community-driven nature of Elastic Security, encouraging contributions and participation through the community Slack workspace, and hints at further enhancements, such as a new Filebeat module for CrowdStrike data coming in future releases.
