Summary

Elastic Security 8.7 introduces several enhancements aimed at reducing alert fatigue, lowering mean time to respond (MTTR), and improving security in cloud environments. The release integrates Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), cloud security, and endpoint security, offering new data source integrations and expanded prebuilt detection content. It includes features like automated rules and analytics for threat detection, streamlined workflows for alert triage, and automation in investigation and response processes. The update also introduces one-click Elastic Agent integrations with popular security sources, and new ingest health dashboards to monitor data ingestion. Alert management is improved with visualization and grouping capabilities, while the response console now allows remote file retrieval from compromised hosts. Additionally, the Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) feature helps identify and remediate cloud configuration risks, offering a dashboard view and step-by-step remediation guidance. This release is available across various subscription tiers and aims to empower security teams to efficiently manage and secure their environments.
