Behavior-based detection with Elastic

Effectively detect suspicious activities

In the current digital landscape, cyber threat detection is more critical than ever. Elastic, a leader in the cybersecurity industry, introduces an innovative behavior-based detection technology with its Elastic Defend solution. This system, introduced in 2019, is a key component of modern EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) and XDR (Extended Detection and Response) solutions that continuously monitor endpoint behavior to identify suspicious processes early.

Key points of the Elastic Security solution:

  • Transparency and in-house operation: Elastic relies on an open source approach, which means that the detection logic is publicly available on Github. This transparency enables users to actively participate in the further development and improvement of the security mechanisms.
  • Behavior-based detection: By analyzing file operations, network data and system events, Elastic Defend enables early detection and prevention of malicious activity. Example detections include the detection of unknown processes, unusual network activity and suspicious system configuration changes.

Elastic solutions not only offer advanced detection methods, but also the ability to be customized and improved by the IT security community. This collective approach improves understanding of how they work and allows users to respond more precisely to dynamic threat landscapes.
