IDC 2024 SIEM MarketScape

IDC recently named Elastic Security a Leader in their MarketScape: Worldwide SIEM for Enterprise 2024 Vendor Assessment.

The report notes, "Elastic was one of the first vendors to offer a GenAI assistant; it first delivered the feature a year ago as part of its highest subscription tier. Unlike other SIEM vendors, Elastic has customers bring their own model, while its vector database is used for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Since Elastic is open, much of its documentation is readily available on the internet so customers can train their model or use RAG for content." According to the IDC MarketScape, Elastic’s strengths include:

• Customers can deploy Elastic Security on premises or in the cloud with the ability to search across all Elastic clusters from the same user interface – no matter the site or region.
• Elastic has a popular community that submits detection rules, threat hunts, and playbooks; after review and testing, they may be integrated into existing Elastic content. Detection rules are open so customers can see the logic behind them.
