Summary

Elastic SIEM 7.4.0, now part of the broader Elastic Security solution, introduces enhanced features for security information and event management, including an integrated map from the Elastic Maps app for geolocating IP addresses and updated anomaly detection capabilities with sixteen built-in jobs for identifying network and process anomalies. The release emphasizes enriching data with geolocation through the geoIP processor and expands support for DNS and Autonomous System data, enabling analysts to gain valuable insights from high-volume DNS logs. Additionally, Elastic SIEM 7.4 integrates new data sources, such as the Auditbeat Socket dataset, which uses Linux KProbes for efficient socket data collection, and includes updates for Filebeat to support Common Event Format, NetFlow, and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense. These enhancements aim to provide more contextual information for investigations and improve the overall efficiency of security operations, encouraging users to upgrade and explore the new features.
