Cloud detection and response

Enhance SIEM capabilities with context from the cloud with cloud detection and response (CDR). Ingest logs and alerts from various multi-cloud provider sources (like AWS CloudTrail, Audit Manager, and VPC Flow Logs) and cloud security tools (like Wiz, Palo Alto Networks, and Google Security Command Center).

Leverage hundreds of out-of-the-box and anomaly detection rules for all cloud sources, and gain end-to-end visibility into cloud-specific attacks triggered by our powerful detection engine.

Respond faster, minimize damage

Detect, investigate, and respond to threats with lightning speed. Elastic AI-driven security analytics empowers analysts with decisive action to minimize damage and keep your cloud secure. With Elastic Security's robust response workflows, you can automate your responses — be it a simple Slack message or even live remediations like killing a process or file.

Protect while you observe

Cloud security and observability are business-critical. Gain visibility into cloud availability, application performance, metrics, and traces while you protect workloads and monitor for compliance. 

Collect and store data once; apply it in multiple ways. Integrating security and observability in a single platform simplifies deployment, training, and operations. Streamline workflows to optimize CloudOps and raise ROI.
