Summary

Elastic's new Data Exfiltration Detection package, available in the Integrations app in Kibana, helps organizations detect unauthorized data transfers, known as data exfiltration, which can occur either unintentionally or maliciously by insiders or through external breaches. This package identifies abnormal data transfers to uncommon locations or IP addresses and alerts users when sensitive data is sent to popular external web services. Users can install the package, which includes anomaly detection jobs and detection rules, to monitor and generate alerts for suspicious data movements. These alerts can be explored further in Kibana's Machine Learning and Security sections. The package is part of Elastic 8.6, allowing users without an Elastic Cloud cluster to start with a free 14-day trial to experiment with its capabilities.
