Detect Credential Access with Elastic Security

Elastic Security has focused on developing detection mechanisms to counter adversaries exploiting environments, enhancing its platform by introducing new file and registry events, such as T1555.003 and T1003.002, to provide defenders with better visibility on sensitive file and registry object access. Security researcher Samir Bousseaden has detailed tactics for hunting utilizing these new events by leveraging Endpoint security integration and using KQL or EQL queries. His technical post also highlights built-in malicious behavior protection rules that automatically respond to suspicious access, improving detection effectiveness. Elastic Security offers resources like Quick Start guides and free training courses for new users and provides options for a free 14-day trial of Elastic Cloud or downloading a self-managed version of Elastic Stack.
