Elastic joins CISA’s Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative (JCDC) to defend against US cyber threats

Elastic has joined the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative (JCDC) in the United States, an initiative led by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to fortify national cyber defense by uniting public and private sector efforts. The JCDC, established in 2021, aims to prevent security breaches and coordinate defensive actions through the sharing and analysis of cyber risk information. Elastic, a long-term partner of CISA, brings its expertise in data search and analysis to the collaboration, emphasizing the importance of data visibility and access across IT environments to combat sophisticated cyber threats such as ransomware and espionage. Under CISA Director Jen Easterly's leadership, the JCDC seeks to leverage collaborative data to protect against cyber attacks from criminal organizations and nation-states, aligning with national goals outlined in President Biden's Executive Order on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity. Through its involvement, Elastic is committed to transforming data into actionable insights, contributing to economic prosperity, national defense, and public safety by addressing widespread security flaws and configuration issues in digital technologies.
