Elastic on Elastic: Configuring the Security app to use Cross Cluster Search

Elastic on Elastic - Configuring the Security app to use Cross Cluster SearchThe Elastic Infosec Detections and Analytics team is responsible for building, tuning, and maintaining the security detections used to protect all Elastic systems. Within Elastic we call ourselves Customer Zero and we strive to always use the newest versions of our products.  In the previous blog posts we gave an overview of our architecture and what data we send to our clusters. In this blog post we will provide i

Implementing academic papers: lessons learned from Elasticsearch and Lucene

While developing Elasticsearch, we occasionally come across an important problem with no simple or established approach to solving it. It’s natural to ask “hmm, is there an academic paper that addresses this?” Other times, academic work is a source of inspiration. We’ll encounter a paper proposing a new algorithm or data structure and think “this would be so useful!” Here are just a few examples of how Elasticsearch and Apache Lucene incorporate academic work:HyperLogLog++ for cardinality aggreg

Ingest data directly from Google Pub/Sub into Elastic using Google Dataflow

Today we’re excited to announce the latest development in our ongoing partnership with Google Cloud. Now developers, site reliability engineers (SREs), and security analysts can ingest data from Google Pub/Sub to the Elastic Stack with just a few clicks in the Google Cloud Console. By leveraging Google Dataflow templates, Elastic makes it easy to stream events and logs from Google Cloud services like Google Cloud Audit, VPC Flow, or firewall into the Elastic Stack. This allows customers to simpl

Elastic APM iOS agent technical preview released

How the French Ministry of Agriculture deploys Elastic to monitor the commercial fishing industry

Within the French Ministry of Agriculture and Food (the Ministry), our team of architects in the Methods, Support and Quality office (BMSQ) evaluate and supply software solutions to resolve issues encountered by project teams that affect various disciplines. As data specialists, one area we’ve been involved in includes reconfiguring the traceability of activities for the commercial fishing industry. The aim is to improve the quality, speed and precision of how we collect and analyze large volume

What’s new in Elastic Security 7.15: End threats at the endpoint…and beyond

Elastic Security 7.15 further arms the SOC to achieve extended detection and response (XDR). Malicious behavior protection applies behavior analytics to prevent attack techniques often leveraged by named threats by performing dynamic, stateful correlation of on-host events, and then reacting instantly to disrupt attacks before they cause damage. Memory threat protection now safeguards Windows hosts, stopping attacks designed to evade most other defenses. To accelerate response and prevent damag

Elastic Observability 7.15: Automated correlations, frictionless log ingestion from Google Cloud

Elastic Observability 7.15 introduces the general availability of automated correlations, unified views across application service logs and dependencies, and agentless log ingestion from Google Cloud Platform (GCP), accelerating troubleshooting of root causes of application issues and making it even easier to ingest telemetry from cloud services.  These new features allow customers to:

Automatically surface attributes of the APM data set that are correlated with high-latency or erroneous
