Elastic changes the SIEM game with AI-driven security analytics

Prioritize attacks, not alerts, with new Attack Discovery capability, powered by Search AI

Elastic (NYSE: ESTC), the Search AI Company, announced Search AI will replace the traditional SIEM with an AI-driven security analytics solution for the modern SOC. Powered by the Search AI platform, Elastic Security is replacing largely manual processes for configuration, investigation and response by combining search and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) to provide hyper-relevant results that matter. The newest feature, Attack Discovery, triages 100s of alerts down to the few attacks that matter with a single button click, and returns results in an intuitive interface, allowing security operations teams to quickly understand the most impactful attacks, take immediate follow-up actions and more.

Elastic’s AI-driven security analytics is built on the Search AI platform, which includes RAG powered by the industry's foremost search technology. LLMs are only as accurate and current as the information they leverage: their underlying training data and the context provided with the prompt. As such, they require rich, up-to-date data to deliver accurate, tailored results — and efficiently gathering this confidential knowledge requires search. Search-based RAG delivers this context automatically and eliminates the need to build a bespoke LLM and constantly retrain it on ever-changing internal data.

Attack Discovery uniquely leverages the Search AI platform to sort and identify which alert details should be evaluated by the LLM. By querying the rich context contained within Elastic Security alerts with the hybrid search capabilities of Elasticsearch, the solution retrieves the most relevant data to provide to the LLM and instructs it to identify and prioritize the few attacks accordingly. This includes data such as host and user risk scores, asset criticality scores, alert severities, descriptions and alert reasons.

“As a lean organization, we do not operate a traditional SOC team, so the ability to secure our assets faster using our existing team and generative AI is very exciting,” said Kadir Burak Mavzer, Cloud Security team lead at Bolt. “We've already seen great results with Elastic AI Assistant and are looking forward to using Attack Discovery soon.”

“Attack Discovery is a transformative step towards solving the ongoing cybersecurity workforce shortage. Investigations that would have taken entire teams can now be investigated by a single analyst in less time,” said Ken Buckler, information security research director at EMA. “Attack Discovery will provide analysts and incident responders a significant advantage over existing log analysis focused solutions.”

“The attacks companies face are as constant as they are sophisticated, and with no lever to slow the deluge of signals, most security teams struggle to keep their heads above water,” said Santosh Krishnan, general manager of Security at Elastic. “Nearly 20% of our security customers already use our AI Assistant to boost team efficiency. Similarly, Attack Discovery will power productivity and supplement practitioner knowledge to speed up threat detection, investigation, and response. It helps your people — and SOC — succeed.”

Many SOCs have 1000s of alerts to sift through daily. Much of this work is dull, time-intensive, and error-prone. Elastic Security removes the need for such manual effort. Attack Discovery triages out the false positives and maps the remaining strong signals to discrete attack chains, showing how related alerts are part of an attack chain. Attack Discovery uses LLMs to evaluate alerts, taking into consideration severity, risk scores, asset criticality and more. By delivering this accurate and fast triage, analysts can spend less time sifting through alerts and more time investigating and addressing threats.

Since its release in 2019, Elastic Security has grown to include some of the industry’s most advanced analytics capabilities, including 100+ prebuilt ML-based anomaly detection jobs to detect previously unknown threats. Last year, Elastic introduced Elastic AI Assistant for Security to help SOC analysts with rule authoring, alert summarization, and workflow and integration recommendations.

Availability

Attack Discovery will be available to all customers with an Enterprise license as part of the Elastic 8.14 release.
