Elastic and Swimlane have formed a partnership to enhance security operations centers (SOCs) by combining Elastic's high-speed, cloud-scale analytics with Swimlane's security automation platform. This collaboration aims to optimize workflows, support security information and event management (SIEM), and improve threat detection, incident response, and other security operations through joint integrations. The partnership helps reduce dwell times, mean time to response (MTTR), and false-positive rates, allowing for quicker adaptation and response to threats. By integrating Elastic's scalable search capabilities across diverse data sources with Swimlane's extensive playbooks and workflow management, SOC teams can achieve higher security ROI and better utilize existing security investments. Both companies emphasize an open approach to security, with Elastic offering open-source code and free SIEM functionality, and Swimlane providing extensive integrations and community-shared best practices, fostering transparency and collaboration in the security community.
