Summary

For over two decades, the US Intelligence Community and Department of Defense have relied on outdated Host Based Security Systems for basic endpoint security, which are now insufficient for integrated cross-domain endpoint detection and response. Elastic offers a modernized solution with its unified endpoint and extended detection and response capabilities, drawing on expertise from its acquisition of Endgame in 2019. Elastic's platform is designed to scale across various environments, including Linux and air-gapped networks, and integrates seamlessly with its AI-powered security analytics. Elastic provides comprehensive security with features like advanced malware defenses, policy enforcement, and compliance with federal standards, operating efficiently in hybrid and disconnected networks. Elastic's platform is recognized for its efficacy in independent tests and assessments, including high prevention rates and rapid response capabilities, positioning it as a leader in the industry. The company emphasizes open security practices, AI integration, and a unified approach to endpoint protection, aiming to enhance the security posture of defense and intelligence agencies against evolving threats.
