Elastic Security 8.15 introduces new chat and management APIs for Elastic AI Assistant, enhancing security operations by automating interactions, managing conversations, and supporting data privacy through anonymization. These APIs allow security operations centers (SOCs) to streamline workflows by automating threat identification and response, accessing Elastic AI Assistant’s knowledge base, and integrating with security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) tools. The release also features integration with Google’s Gemini models and improvements to the Attack Discovery functionality, enabling simultaneous comparison of large language models (LLMs) and improved accuracy of lower-cost models. Elastic emphasizes the importance of user caution when handling sensitive data with AI tools and clarifies that the release timing of features is at their discretion, with no guarantee on delivery.
