Secure your cloud with Elastic
Blog post from Elastic
Elastic Security for Cloud is a solution designed to enhance cloud security by expanding the capabilities of the existing Elastic Security framework to include cloud posture management and workload protection. This platform extends security visibility from endpoints to cloud environments, addressing the growing need for secure cloud-native architectures as enterprises increasingly adopt cloud-first strategies. It integrates technologies acquired from Cmd and build.security, enabling risk management, threat monitoring, and compliance assessment for cloud workloads. Elastic Security for Cloud employs eBPF technology and MITRE ATT&CKĀ®-aligned detection rules to automate threat identification while offering customizable detection options tailored to specific deployments. A key feature is the Session View, which provides security analysts with a terminal-like interface for efficient process activity investigation and rapid incident response. The solution also emphasizes managing cloud posture, particularly for Kubernetes assets, by aligning with industry benchmarks like the CIS controls, offering a comprehensive guide to hardening production environments. Elastic's integrated approach aims to simplify security operations and reduce tool fragmentation, supporting both Elastic Observability and Elastic Security within a unified platform to monitor cloud application performance and security comprehensively.
