Elastic Security has integrated cloud detection and response (CDR) capabilities directly into its security information and event management (SIEM) platform, aiming to streamline cloud security operations by combining AI-driven analytics with CDR. Traditional security solutions often struggle with complex workflows and cloud-specific challenges, but Elastic's approach consolidates data from diverse sources into a single platform, enhancing real-time incident response and reducing tool fragmentation. The platform now supports cloud security posture management (CSPM) across major providers like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, and features such as agentless ingestion and graph view facilitate efficient threat detection and investigation. Elastic's vendor-agnostic framework allows seamless integration of insights from various cloud security tools, empowering security teams to quickly assess risks and respond to threats without needing complex queries. These enhancements build on Elastic's robust foundation, which includes numerous prebuilt detection rules and integrations, positioning organizations to effectively secure their cloud environments while reducing total cost of ownership and operational overhead.
