Elasticsearch, a popular search and analytics engine, poses a significant challenge in securing its servers due to the high cost of integrating with identity providers for single sign-on. Many organizations rely on "security by obscurity" which is not effective security measures, creating an unacceptable risk for businesses. To address this issue, Twingate offers a quick and simple way to add authentication and authorization controls to Elasticsearch (or any other service) without changing anything about the instance. With Twingate, identity providers' SSO functionality can be leveraged, user groups can be configured, and access policies can be defined to enforce MFA checks on users requesting access. By securing your Elasticsearch server with SSO and MFA, you'll reduce the prospect of a data breach.
