Imagine security data and analytics like a carnival’s hall of mirrors. From convex mirrors that show you a shorter, squatter version of something to the concave mirrors that show a highly magnified image, you see the same object in multiple ways. Every view gives you a different insight and provides a unique vantage point. Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) systems are different mirrors that allow security teams to create focused analytics models for different insights about your security posture.

In today’s modern SOC, more data doesn’t always mean better outcomes. Security teams are overwhelmed by irrelevant telemetry, storage bills are out of control, and compliance regulations demand long-term retention—even for data with little threat value. Legacy SIEMs treat all logs the same, flooding analysts with noise and slowing down response times. The result? Bloated infrastructure, delayed investigations, and boardroom frustration over unproven ROI.

Learn to create custom detection rules in Elastic Security following real detection use cases. This blog will guide you through creating custom detection rules in Elastic Security, equipping you with best practices for using Elasticsearch Query Language (ES|QL) and Elastic AI Assistant to refine threat detection logic and add crucial context for analysts. You’ll learn how to effectively preview, test, and enhance your rules, ultimately strengthening your security operations.

Nearly everyone has had “that cold,” the one where most symptoms have resolved except that lingering cough. The cough can continue for weeks or months, all while you feel mostly well across the board. In cybersecurity, an advanced persistent threat (APT) is your IT environment’s lingering cough, albeit a much more damaging one. An APT stealthily gains initial access to your company’s systems and networks, then hides within them to complete objectives.
