7 SIEM Configurations To Improve Your Time to Value

Whether you’re an Apple fan or not, one of the reasons people buy into their ecosystem is ease of setup across different devices. In a world where people customize the applications on their laptops to cross over with their mobile phones, an easy setup is a key to getting the most value from their devices. However, in the world of security information and event management (SIEM) solutions, the time to value often takes longer than most security teams want to admit.

Elastic named a Leader in The Forrester Wave: Security Analytics Platforms, Q2 2025

We’re excited to share that Elastic has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave: Security Analytics Platforms, Q2 2025. At Elastic, we believe security starts with the data. Elastic Security enables teams to detect, investigate, and respond to threats at scale, without lock-in or limits — powered by the speed and flexibility of Elasticsearch — and is grounded in a commitment to openness, innovation, and customer control.

The privacy illusion: when deleting your data doesn't actually delete your data

Let’s talk about privacy—specifically, the kind you thought you had when you hit “delete.” OpenAI received a court order to retain every single ChatGPT conversation, even the ones you erased. Yep. Even the awkward ones. Even the ones that start with, “Hypothetically, if I were to…” Why? Because The New York Times is suing them over copyright, and now everyone’s deleted chats are potential evidence.

SOC Burn Out Is Real: Improve Detection Without the Noise

“Too many alerts mean missing the real threats.” Alert fatigue is one of the top threats to a SOC’s performance. When everything looks like a threat, nothing does. The tradeoff is disabling rules, overly tuning rules, or simply ignoring alerts just to stay afloat. The risk? High-value, low-noise threats slip through the cracks.

AI, out-of-the-box!

Elastic's GenAI capabilities are now available by default in Elastic Cloud Elastic AI features in Elastic Security, Observability, and Search are now enabled by default in Elastic Cloud. Getting started with generative AI (GenAI) shouldn’t be a project in itself. Too often teams encounter organizational friction that slows adoption of AI-based features, from third-party contracts and external API keys, to additional terms of service and billing management.

You thought Elastic only did SIEM? Think again!

Elastic Extended Security, born from the acquisition of Endgame, brings years of battle-tested EDR and threat prevention expertise directly into Elastic’s Search AI Platform. This isn’t a bolt-on or third-party integration; it’s a native, deeply embedded component that redefines what’s possible with XDR. As data volumes grow exponentially, traditional EDR tools hit walls. Elastic doesn’t.

How AI Can Reduce Alert Fatigue in Your SOC

Alert fatigue is a common phenomenon in Security Operations Centers (SOCs). It’s the digital equivalent of crying wolf. As SOCs are flooded with a relentless stream of alerts—many of which are low priority or false positives—it becomes increasingly difficult to identify truly critical security threats. Analysts are stuck spending countless hours verifying, contextualizing, analyzing, and acting on information, often at the cost of missing out on critical alerts.

Reclaiming analyst time: Smarter investigations with AI in defence

How the MOD can reduce investigation fatigue and boost operational efficiency Security analysts at the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) — and everywhere — face an overwhelming challenge: They can receive thousands of alerts daily, and distinguishing genuine threats from false positives in a timely fashion has become nearly impossible without technological intervention.

Vulnerability Data in Next Gen-SIEM with Falcon Exposure Management

Vulnerability data is often siloed and captured in static dashboards, disconnected from real-time investigation. But with Falcon Exposure Management streaming into NG-SIEM, that changes. This demo shows how teams can correlate live vulnerability events with endpoint behavior, network activity, and even cloud telemetry. Using a Firefox example, we trace active and historical exposure, revealing how ExPRT.AI, asset metadata, and cloud-aware context come together in Next Gen SIEM.
