New Capabilities Unify SIEM, Security Analytics
and Endpoint Security, Enabling Customers to Stop Threats at Cloud
Scale on a Single Platform
Elastic (NYSE: ESTC) (“Elastic”), the company behind
Elasticsearch and the Elastic Stack, today announced the launch and
general availability of the industry’s first free and open
Limitless Extended Detection and Response (XDR).
Part of Elastic Security, Elastic Limitless XDR modernizes
security operations by unifying the capabilities of security
information and event management (SIEM), security analytics, and
endpoint security.
"Organizations have been spending regularly on threat detection
and response but still can't detect sophisticated threats,” says
Jon Oltsik, Senior Principal Analyst at ESG. “By aggregating threat
detection and response across multiple controls, XDR promises to
improve threat detection and response, correlating endpoint
detections with telemetry from other sources to simplify
investigation and streamline operations.”
Elastic Limitless XDR is anchored in SIEM and enriched by a
single agent for endpoint security to eliminate data silos, reduce
alert fatigue, and arm practitioners to stop threats at cloud
scale. Built into a single platform, Elastic Limitless XDR extends
visibility across any environment to prevent, detect, and respond
to threats and eliminate blind spots, everywhere.
According to the IDC EDR and XDR 2020 Survey, 55% of
organizations currently use up to six endpoint security
technologies. “While EDR technologies remain a popular choice for
helping organizations strengthen their security posture, XDR is
gaining in popularity as security teams require telemetry from many
sources beyond the endpoint,” says Chris Kissel, Research Director
Security & Trust Products IDC.
Elastic Limitless XDR powers centralized analytics on years’
worth of data, automates key processes, and brings native endpoint
security to every host.
Elastic Limitless XDR stops threats at cloud scale on a single
platform by:
Extending visibility across any environment to eliminate
security blind spots
- Block malware and ransomware, perform collection and
inspection, detect and take responsive actions on the endpoint, and
support DevSecOps and observability use cases by collecting
application traces through a single agent.
- Accelerate security operations with automated hunting and
investigation workflows, built-in case management, and hundreds of
one-click integrations created by Elastic and its global user
community.
- Deploy on premises, in the cloud, or hybrid.
Providing fast, cost-effective search to meet the evolving
needs of security teams
- Ingest and prepare data from across any environment and search
it in milliseconds to seconds with the frozen data tier, powered by
searchable snapshots, on low-cost object stores such as Amazon S3,
Google Cloud Storage, and Microsoft Azure Storage.
- Efficiently retain years of actionable telemetry to uncover
long-dwelling threats and markers of newly discovered
exploits.
- Uniformly analyze information stored across multiple clouds
without the delay and expense of backhauling data.
Automating threat detection to reduce alert fatigue
- Automate threat detection with rules built by Elastic and
community security researchers and shared on a public detection
rules repository.
- Uncover security-relevant anomalies with prebuilt machine
learning jobs.
- Aggregate results, prioritize, and investigate across
multi-cloud environments.

Supporting Quotes:
- “Elastic has disrupted the cyber security industry by providing
an extensible product line that allows the State of South Dakota to
detect endpoint, network, and even cloud threats at a very
reasonable cost. Beyond the threat investigation aspect of the
Elastic Security product is the community and open code that allows
us to work with others in the industry and tailor the needs of our
cyber security analysts and engineers to our organization. Having
the Elastic stack as part of our security operations infrastructure
has pushed us further to being a world class SOC so that we can
best protect the State of South Dakota from cyber threats." -
Nicholas Penning, Cybersecurity Architect at the State of South
Dakota Bureau of Information and Telecommunications
- “Elastic has given Sally Beauty the ability to streamline the
security stack, while greatly expanding detection and prevention
capabilities. Having one unified agent that can collect endpoint
and network telemetry data, while also providing world-class
prevention, has been a real game changer. The move to a
decentralized workforce, due to the pandemic, would have previously
left us scrambling to not lose capabilities. But due to the
benefits of Elastic Cloud, we were perfectly positioned to continue
securing our assets and infrastructure, regardless of location.
With the Elastic Security Platform, our Security Operations Team
has everything we need to Prevent, Detect & Respond to Cyber
Security Threats.” - Sr. Information Security Engineer, Sally
Beauty.
- “Between today’s advanced attack techniques and complicated IT
environments, it is more difficult than ever for organizations to
stop threats before damage is done. Adding to this challenge,
security teams have to pivot between multiple tools to investigate
and respond fully to attacks. By combining SIEM and endpoint
security, Elastic Limitless XDR provides fast detection and
response capabilities with cloud, user, endpoint, and network
telemetry to simplify investigation and response on a single
platform.” - Nate Fick, General Manager, Security at
Elastic
