About Elastic

Elastic sells Elastic Security, an open, agentic security operations platform that offers SIEM, endpoint security, and native automation. Elastic offers three solutions: Elasticsearch, Elastic Observability, and Elastic Security. Elasticsearch is the search and analytics engine that Elastic builds. Elasticsearch is the core component of the Elastic Stack and is built on Apache Lucene, an open source search library. Elastic Observability covers logs, metrics, traces, and APM, and Elasticsearch covers enterprise search, vector search, vector database, and RAG.[1][3][12]

Elastic Security includes native SIEM, XDR, and automation capabilities. Elastic Security lets customers use their data with the LLM of their choice, including frontier or on-premise models. Elastic Security has 400+ prebuilt integrations to support an existing toolset. Elastic Security integrations normalize data and include prebuilt dashboards, so a team can investigate a new source without writing parsers. Elastic describes a problem where detection, investigation, and response are spread across separate tools and context gets lost between them.[1][5]

Elastic Security chases down alerts, finds correlations and gives visibility into what it found. Attack Discovery correlates alerts into attack chains and investigates the activity behind them. When something slips through, Elastic XDR and the agentic layer investigate and surface findings for approval. Elastic Security users can create agents or automate their security operations using Workflows.[1][4]

Elastic Security has a cloud detection and response (CDR) capability that takes a vendor-agnostic, data-centric approach to cloud security with agentless integration. Elastic Security can integrate cloud analytics from existing tools.[5]

Elasticsearch, Elastic Observability, and Elastic Security are available via Elastic Cloud Serverless, Elastic Cloud Hosted, or self-managed deployment. Elastic Cloud Hosted deploys on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. The Elastic platform runs in the cloud, on-premises, or serverless. Elastic on AWS runs prebuilt SaaS solutions for search, observability, and security. Elastic on Microsoft Azure deploys Elasticsearch directly within the Azure portal. Elastic Cloud receives data through native integrations on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. Kibana is the shared visualization and management UI across all Elastic solutions, and data is ingested via Elastic Agent, Beats, or Logstash.[3][6][7][8]

Elastic is FedRAMP Moderate Authorized on AWS GovCloud (US) and has received an in-process designation for FedRAMP High. Elastic is an authorized CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) where it assigns CVE IDs to vulnerabilities. Many organizations use the Elastic Stack as their central security analytics platform. Sitecore uses Elastic in its Security Operations Center. Sitecore has used more than 400 use cases from the Elastic open-source community and has written more than 60 custom use cases.[1][2][3][5][6][9][10][11]
