“Many companies have a fragmented approach to cloud security, as security and devops teams pivot between multiple dashboards,” said
Elastic’s comprehensive suite of cloud security capabilities includes:
-
Cloud Workload Protection (generally available) — Expands on existing runtime security for traditional endpoints, enabling cloud security teams to gain deep visibility into the entire runtime workload including standalone Linux workloads, virtual machines, and infrastructure hosted in AWS,
Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. - Container Workload Protection (beta) — Provides cloud security teams deep visibility into container workloads in managed Kubernetes environments with pre-execution runtime analysis for workloads running in Amazon EKS, GKE, and AKS environments.
-
Cloud Security Posture Management (beta) — Enables cloud security teams to continuously detect and remediate misconfigurations across workloads in AWS and Amazon EKS in real-time with
Center for Information Security (CIS) benchmark controls, out-of-the-box integrations, and posture management dashboards and reports. - Cloud Vulnerability Management (beta) — Uncovers cloud-native vulnerabilities in AWS EC2 workloads with minimal resource utilization on workloads and enumerating vulnerabilities with risk context to help cloud security teams identify and respond to potential risk.
“Elastic Security is a unified security solution offering SIEM, endpoint, and cloud security capabilities—rooted in data management and analytics—that enables customers to protect, investigate and respond to threats across their entire infrastructure,” said
