Elastic AI Assistant and Attack Discovery integrate with Google Vertex AI to help drive further AI adoption

Today, we’re announcing more integrations with Google’s Gemini 1.5 models via Vertex AI that work with the Elastic AI Assistant and Attack Discovery features. This partnership provides security analysts with additional choices for sophisticated large language models and allows Google Cloud customers to select models that are native to their cloud ecosystem. The production use of generative AI reduces analyst burnout by offering a quick and reliable response to help with security threat detection, investigation, and ultimately, remediation.  

“By leveraging Google Gemini's 1.5 advanced reasoning and its up-to-2M token window, Elastic's Attack Discovery and Elastic AI Assistant features can now provide users with a level of contextual understanding previously unimaginable and provide immense value,” said Juan Bustos, lead solutions consultant at Google Cloud. “This integration will empower security professionals to cut through the noise and focus on their primary task: assessing threats.”

Designed to cut through the noise of alerts, Attack Discovery uses generative AI to triage alerts and identify and interpret advanced attack patterns. The cooperation with Google Vertex AI’s models and Elastic’s extensive suite of AI tools greatly improves the ability to analyze and comprehend these threats. This combined effort is essential for delivering timely and precise threat responses, ensuring thorough risk mitigation.

The automation improvements in Attack Discovery drastically reduce the time required for manual triage and investigation efforts. It offers a clear view of attack sequences from start to potential breaches through an interactive interface that presents detailed threat summaries filled with actionable insights.

In partnership with Google, Elastic continuously advances the functionality of Attack Discovery and AI Assistant by integrating with Google Vertex AI. This collaboration facilitates access to a broad range of foundational models, promoting rapid adaptation and minimal coding through a unified API. Elastic Security Labs actively develops and refines detection rules optimized for Google Vertex AI and other leading technologies, ensuring our solutions stay ahead in the industry.

This partnership showcases Elastic's dedication to harnessing the full range of AI capabilities, enhancing our security frameworks to remain agile and robust against the changing landscape of cyber threats.
