Today, we’re happy to announce that Elastic and Tines are partnering to help our joint users detect security threats and reduce mean time to respond. Many of the world’s best security teams rely on the power of Elastic’s high-speed, cloud-scale detection, prevention, and response capabilities to investigate and contain potential security threats within their environments.
Cybersecurity strategies within cloud environments are often seen as a complicated landscape with rapidly developing technologies, architectures, and terms. Simultaneously, there are continuously motivated individuals and groups trying to utilize vulnerabilities for illicit uses such as to increase access to the data, install malware, disrupt services, and more.
Yesterday, the Elastic Security Research Team released a detailed report outlining technical details regarding the BLISTER launcher, a sophisticated campaign that we uncovered in December 2021. This latest release continues on research we’ve developed while observing the campaign over the last few months — specifically pertaining to the technical details of how the group behind this payload is able to stay under the radar and evade detection for many new samples identified.
Elastic Security 8.2 powers the efficiency and effectiveness of security teams, arming analysts with invaluable insights and deep visibility into the attacks targeting their organization. The release delivers rich alert contextualization, osquery host inspection directly from an alert, new investigation guides, and the general availability of threat intelligence. Let’s jump in.
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.
Today, connected vehicles are proliferating, smart cities are translating from vision to reality, and cloud-based connectivity services are increasing. Advanced connectivity solutions like 5G, cloud-based services and automations, and personalized experiences are redefining in-vehicle experiences. In addition, the growth of an intelligent Edge, smart infrastructure, and the Internet of Things are pushing the boundaries of the connected car.
The Linux process model, available within Elastic, allows users to write very targeted alerting rules and gain deeper insight into exactly what is happening on their Linux servers and desktops. In this blog, we will provide background on the Linux process model, a key aspect of how Linux workloads are represented.
It’s no secret that cloud service providers like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure give teams incredible power and flexibility when it comes to delivering great solutions and user experiences to a global customer base. Leveraging the power of one or more clouds is often seen as a critical competency for an organization to succeed.
Cybersecurity leaders and practitioners recently gathered at Hack the Port in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to discuss the evolving threats to ports – a key sector within the nation’s critical infrastructure – and how to better protect them.
That’s right all, it’s time for the latest MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK® evaluation. As we have come to expect each year, Elastic — along with other security vendors — are evaluated by MITRE Engenuity, a tech foundation that brings MITRE research to the public. The evaluation focuses on emulating techniques from the MITRE ATT&CK (Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge) framework to assess vendor protection capabilities.
