We all know that it is a question of when you will be compromised and not if you will be compromised. It is unavoidable.

If an organization is neither equipped nor prepared for that potential data breach, they are not likely to succeeded in responding to the threat.
Within our Elastic Security research group, a strong area of focus is implementing detection mechanisms for capabilities we understand adversaries are currently exploiting within environments. We’ll often wait to see the impact that bringing these capabilities to market will have from a detection standpoint. This allows our researchers to explore different detection strategies through these additions, providing deep insight into how effective the Elastic Security platform can be.
