The report also states that, “Elastic provides alerts-as-data, whereby alerts are analyzed in the offering the same as any other data source, which is helpful for chaining alerts or gathering metrics. In addition to prebuilt rules, users create rules via EQL, API for detection as code, or in the rule creation wizard, which gives them the ability to write their own machine learning models. Risk score calculation is available in a public repo with the option for users to customize it for their use case.”

“With ever-increasing data volumes, today’s security teams are looking for innovative tools to help protect their data from the most sophisticated threats,” said Santosh Krishnan, General Manager, Security, Elastic. ”We are proud to help customers make sense of their data and embrace an analytics-driven approach to security. We believe being named a Leader in the 2022 Forrester Wave for Security Analytics further validates the importance of putting analytics-powered technologies like Elastic at the center of modern security operations.”

Elastic Security believes that its fast, scalable security analytics capabilities help enable teams to expose unknown threats and gain insight into the entities at the highest risk. With Elastic, customers can interactively monitor years of historical data and quickly grasp unfolding and latent attacks, all within a customizable, centralized view of their environments to tackle these threats at scale.
