Elastic Security in the open: Empowering security teams with prebuilt protections

Elastic Security has enhanced its offerings by providing over 1,100 prebuilt detection rules to enable quick setup for security monitoring, with a significant portion dedicated to SIEM detection across multiple log sources and endpoint security. The company emphasizes its commitment to transparency and collaboration with the security community by publicly sharing its detection logic on GitHub, allowing for communal learning and improvement. Elastic's Threat Research and Detection Engineering (TRADE) team focuses on emerging threats, developing detection and prevention rules, and maintaining high-quality content through continuous monitoring and tuning. This effort includes the creation of investigation guides that enrich security alerts with operational context, aiding analysts in triage and investigation tasks. Elastic also maps its detection rules to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, ensuring comprehensive threat coverage. The company supports community engagement through open-source contributions and provides Red Team Automation scripts for testing detection rules.
