- Elastic (ESTC, Financial) introduces Automatic Migration feature to ease the transition from incumbent SIEMs to Elastic Security.
- Automatic Migration leverages semantic search and generative AI to streamline the migration process.
- The feature is available in technical preview for Elastic's enterprise customers.
Elastic (ESTC), known as the Search AI Company, has unveiled a new feature termed Automatic Migration aimed at significantly simplifying the process of switching from existing Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems to Elastic Security. The Automatic Migration feature utilizes semantic search to map existing SIEM detection rules to equivalent rules developed by Elastic, reducing the need for exact text matches.
Additionally, any rules that remain unmapped are translated into new Elastic queries using generative artificial intelligence, which is based on custom knowledge. This innovative approach promises to alleviate the extensive time and financial resources traditionally required for SIEM migration, particularly as it pertains to migrating detection rules, dashboards, and other elements.
"Many security teams are hindered by their outdated SIEMs due to the daunting task of migration," remarked Santosh Krishnan, general manager of Security and Observability at Elastic. "Automatic Migration addresses these challenges by reducing the cost, complexity, and risk associated with such transitions."
This new feature is part of Elastic Security's comprehensive suite of AI-driven security analytics capabilities, which also includes Automatic Import, Attack Discovery, and the Elastic AI Assistant. Automatic Migration is presently available in technical preview to all Elastic customers with an Enterprise license or those with the Security Analytics Complete tier on Elastic Cloud Serverless.
Elastic, headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, continues to empower businesses worldwide through its innovative Elastic Search AI Platform utilized by over half of the Fortune 500 companies.
