Elastic Workflows: Native automation for security — No SOAR required

Elastic Workflows introduces native automation to Elastic Security, eliminating the need for separate SOAR tools and reducing the complexity and cost associated with security operations. By integrating directly within the Elastic Security platform, Workflows provides seamless access to alerts, cases, and investigation data, allowing AI agents to execute tasks and reason through complex investigations more efficiently. This integration helps security teams manage growing alert volumes and AI-driven threats without the typical overhead of maintaining brittle integrations with standalone SOAR systems. Workflows are defined in YAML, event-driven, and can synchronize context across various security tools, enhancing the reliability and speed of threat response. This approach allows for consistent execution of defined tasks from playbooks while leveraging AI for adaptive reasoning when scenarios deviate from known patterns. Elastic Workflows is currently in technical preview, with a promise of general availability, offering a streamlined solution for security operations centers aiming to automate processes without adding additional tools to their stack.
