Summary

Elastic Security has launched new capabilities to modernize cloud security operations for AWS, enhancing its position as a comprehensive Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP). These advancements include Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) for AWS, Container Workload Security, and Cloud Vulnerability Management, building on existing features like Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM) and Cloud Workload Protection (CWP). The pressing need for such solutions arises from the misconception that cloud workloads are inherently secure, despite the shared responsibility model of cloud security, which often results in misconfigurations and vulnerabilities. Elastic Security addresses these challenges by providing a unified platform that merges SIEM, endpoint, and cloud security, minimizing risks associated with fragmented security approaches and vendor complexity. This integration is essential as organizations increasingly adopt cloud-first models, with Gartner citing that 99% of cloud failures are customer-related due to errors like misconfigurations. Elastic Security's comprehensive suite aims to provide deep visibility, reduce complexity, and enhance threat detection and remediation across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
