Elastic named a Leader in IDC MarketScape: Worldwide SIEM for Enterprise 2024

Elastic was previously named a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide SIEM 2022 Vendor Assessment (doc # US49029922, November 2022).

Elastic Security’s ascent from a Major Player in the 2022 IDC MarketScape to a Leader in this year's assessment reflects our many innovations over the past two years, particularly our strong execution in streamlining security operations workflows with generative AI.

Elastic Security is equipped to advance SIEM with generative AI by its native access to the advanced AI features of the Elastic Search AI Platform. The solution offers customers their choice of models from our open LLM connectors ecosystem and grounds prompts in the most current organizational context with retrieval augmented generation (RAG).

Our AI features include:

• Automatic Import creates and validates custom data integrations in just a few minutes. Gather a few sample logs and let AI do the rest.

• Attack Discovery assesses alerts — holistically, rather than as one-off events — to automate triage and prioritize attacks, not alerts. From there, it helps analysts understand what to do next.

• Elastic AI Assistant guides analysts through investigation and response and helps admins with routine tasks.

Elastic is a Leader in SIEM for Enterprise and SMB — and that isn’t all. Our security analytics solution delivers extended detection and response (XDR) via native and third-party cloud security and endpoint security capabilities. And with just one host agent, they can collect security data, stop ransomware and malware, perform ad-hoc host inspection, invoke response actions, and more.

Elastic Security’s underlying strength is in powering fast and flexible analysis across any data set. As the IDC MarketScape notes, “Customers can deploy Elastic Security on premises or in the cloud with the ability to search across all Elastic clusters from the same user interface no matter the site nor the region.”

With our searchable snapshots feature, you can efficiently retain actionable archives, facilitating fast analysis of years of historical data without breaking the bank. Further, our piped query language, Elasticsearch Query Language (ES|QL), enables powerful, intuitive queries that boost analyst productivity by reducing time to insight across complex data sets.

We are driven by our mission to enable security teams to protect the world’s data from attack. The IDC MarketScape notes, “Elastic has a popular community that submits detection rules, threat hunts, and playbooks; after review and testing, they may be integrated into existing Elastic content. Detection rules are open so customers can see the logic behind them.” This collaboration, a manifestation of our commitment to open security, is made possible by developing these resources in open repositories.

Elastic Security Labs advances our mission by performing timely threat research and building detection rules, machine learning jobs, and investigation playbooks for Elastic Security. Composed of expert researchers and engineers, their work helps organizations tackle new use cases, standardize and streamline response procedures, and improve overall security posture. Elastic Security Labs regularly publishes new material, notably including an LLM safety assessment and corresponding detection rules.

Elastic Security delivers a significant set of core SIEM capabilities to use for free, at any scale, for as long as you need. You can deploy the solution in the cloud, on-premises, or in hybrid environments, and from the marketplaces of AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.

When you’re ready to go further — detecting anomalies with AI, guiding investigators with generative AI, automating response with workflow integrations, and more — all of our commercial capabilities are available in a single SKU.
