Summary

Elastic's cybersecurity asset management solution, built using the Elastic Stack, has evolved into a robust tool supporting InfoSec use cases by significantly expanding its asset inventory to over a million records across 60 asset types. The system now includes not only traditional assets like devices and cloud resources but also identities, roles, and more, facilitating enhanced real-world applications. By standardizing metadata and fields through the Elastic Common Schema (ECS) and adopting a hierarchical naming convention for indices, Elastic has improved data correlation, searchability, and user experience. This setup allows for enriched SIEM alerts and automated alert distribution, enabling faster and more accurate responses to security threats. The asset inventory's comprehensive integration of various data sources supports complex queries, enhancing visibility and security by linking users to applications and devices, thereby allowing for advanced detection of suspicious activities and improved security posture through automation and real-time monitoring.
