Elastic has announced a collaboration with Cmd to enhance its cloud security offerings, specifically focusing on cloud workload runtime security. This partnership aims to integrate Cmd's expertise in infrastructure detection and response, which utilizes extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) technology for deep visibility into cloud workloads, into Elastic Security. The integration will provide customers with comprehensive protection throughout the cloud security lifecycle, from build-time to runtime, and enhance Elastic's capability to detect, prevent, and respond to attacks on cloud workloads. The collaboration aligns with Elastic's commitment to developer-friendly solutions and aims to offer frictionless security for Linux systems by leveraging eBPF technology. This move follows Elastic's acquisition of build.security and aims to expand Elastic's security capabilities, ensuring comprehensive cloud-native observability and security. The partnership also reflects Elastic's pricing strategy, which focuses on resource-based pricing to offer organizations the best protection without counting endpoints. As Elastic integrates Cmd's technology into its platform, customers can expect enhanced security capabilities and innovative solutions for cloud-native applications.
