The release of Elastic Maps 7.4.0 introduces a host of new features designed to enhance geospatial data visualization and analysis. Notable updates include customizable layer styling with static color ramps, filterable vector shapes, and a new data source for visualizing common paths between points. The integration of Elastic Maps within SIEM offers a dynamic cyber attack map, leveraging point-to-point data and Kibana's embeddability for improved network event analysis. Additionally, the transition from raster to vector tiles results in smoother basemaps, comparable to platforms like Google Maps. New icons for top-down orientation and the circle ingest processor streamline data handling and visualization, making this release significant for users looking to upgrade their Elastic Stack environment.
