Elastic Security and Kyndryl have formed a strategic alliance to enhance managed Security Operations Center (SOC) operations by integrating Elastic's AI-powered security analytics with Kyndryl's global SOC services. This collaboration aims to address the challenges of protecting complex environments from evolving threats while managing costs and disruptions. The joint architecture leverages Elastic Security for detection and analysis, and Kyndryl's Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platform for coordinating responses. The integration of these technologies allows for faster threat detection, improved automation, and better executive visibility, resulting in more efficient and auditable security outcomes. Elastic's AI capabilities streamline the process by transforming noisy data into actionable insights, while Kyndryl's global network of SOCs ensures consistent processes and rapid response. This partnership offers customers the flexibility of data residency choices and AI models, ensuring a scalable, efficient approach to managed security operations with clear accountability and improved mean time to resolution (MTTR). As the alliance evolves, it promises to further advance managed security by enhancing integration, automation, and security outcomes worldwide.
