The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) is poised to leverage Elastic's technology to harness the power of data and artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing cybersecurity, operational efficiency, and decision-making capabilities. Elastic, known for its search platform, is particularly adept at managing unstructured data and breaking down data silos, offering the MoD the ability to access and utilize mission-critical data seamlessly across various domains. By integrating large language models (LLMs) within the secure infrastructure of the MoD, Elastic enables the extraction of actionable insights from vast data repositories, ensuring data security and control. This integration supports real-time decision-making, enhances situational awareness, and allows for the democratization of data while maintaining data sovereignty through role-based access control. Elastic's approach provides a pathway for the MoD to explore AI capabilities securely, combining internal data with open-source intelligence to produce more accurate and relevant outputs. As the MoD considers future integration of defence-trained LLMs with Elastic, it aims to balance the transformative potential of AI with stringent data privacy and governance measures.
