Elastic Cloud enables AI out-of-the-box: security and observability without configuration
Elastic Cloud introduces pre-configured advanced AI for security and observability, removing barriers to adoption. New features include Managed LLM for accelerated detection, AI Assistant for natural language investigations, and Automatic Import for custom data sources. Ready-to-use solutions for SOC, SRE, and developers.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Elastic Managed LLM available natively in Elastic Cloud for security and observability
- AI Assistant for automatic triage and investigations with natural language in Elastic Security
- Automatic Import reduces ingestion times from days to minutes for custom data sources
- Ready-to-use solutions for SOC, SRE, and developers without additional configuration
- Integration with any external LLM via open inference API
Transcript
Elastic has launched generative AI capabilities as default features on Elastic Cloud for Elastic Security, Elastic Observability, and Elastic Search. The new features include Elastic Managed LLM, a pre-configured language model that provides immediate access to advanced AI features.
Key features include automatic attack detection, AI assistants for security and observability, automatic data import and migration, and automated problem resolution. Elastic Managed LLM is designed to simplify AI adoption by eliminating the need for third-party contracts, external API keys, and complex configurations.
Elastic Security offers several built-in AI features, such as Attack Discovery, which evaluates incoming alarms to reveal ongoing attacks, and an AI Assistant for Security, which guides analysts through the triage, investigation, and response process using natural language.
Elastic Observability's AI Assistant combines generative AI with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to help Site Reliability Engineers resolve issues faster. Developers can use the AI Playground to prototype RAG workflows with their own data.
Elastic's unique approach integrates AI capabilities directly into existing data, workflows, and use cases, using a native vector database for RAG. The Elastic Managed LLM offers several advantages, including being tested and evaluated by Elastic, integrated governance and billing, single-vendor support, and zero configuration in many cases.
For more details, refer to the Elastic Managed LLM documentation and the AI FAQ. Caution is necessary when using AI tools with personal, sensitive, or confidential information. Elastic has no control over third-party tools and is not responsible for their content, operability, or use.
The native integration of Elastic Managed LLM represents a turning point in the cybersecurity market, offering a more accessible alternative to customized solutions requiring complex integrations. This could significantly simplify the alignment process for companies needing to comply with the NIS2 directive or the DORA regulation. Small and medium-sized enterprises can particularly benefit from adopting Elastic Managed LLM due to zero configuration and native integration with Elastic Security and Observability.
