In the world of security, every second counts. A shorter mean time to detect (MTTD) translates to less damage, increased customer trust, and a greater likelihood of securing cybersecurity support. An important factor in achieving this rapid response is the power of an intuitive and user-friendly interface.

Now that we’ve introduced Elastic Cloud encryption at rest and walked you through setting it up in AWS and Azure, it’s time to get you set up in Google Cloud. In this final blog of the series, we will explain how encryption at rest works with Google Cloud Key Management Service (KMS) and then show you how to apply a Google Cloud KMS key to an Elastic Cloud Hosted deployment for encrypting data and snapshots at rest.

A head-spinning series of acquisitions and mergers is transforming the security information and event management (SIEM) market. Behind this market shakeup is the ongoing technological shift from traditional, manually intensive SIEM solutions to AI-driven security analytics. Legacy systems — characterized by manual processes for log management, investigation, and response — no longer effectively address today’s fast-evolving cyber threats.
