Elastic Security 7.8.0 released

Elastic Security 7.8 introduces several key enhancements aimed at improving threat detection and incident response capabilities for security analysts. This release includes a new integration with Atlassian Jira, which streamlines case management by allowing users to open or update Jira incidents directly from the Elastic Security interface, thereby standardizing incident response workflows. The interface itself has been made more intuitive with new aggregation charts and flexible filters that aid in visualizing and analyzing data trends more efficiently. Additionally, Elastic Security 7.8 unveils new out-of-the-box detection rules specifically designed for Linux systems, focusing on preventing evasion techniques used by attackers. The update also enhances data ingestion capabilities with Filebeat modules for network and endpoint monitoring, supporting cross-environment analysis with Elastic Common Schema (ECS)-formatted data. These comprehensive improvements aim to equip security teams with the tools needed to quickly identify and mitigate threats across various platforms and infrastructures.
