Elastic integrates Anthropic's Claude 3 models to enhance AI-driven security analytics

For security analysts navigating an increasingly complex threat landscape, the ability to quickly identify and respond to attacks is critical. Security information and event management (SIEM) tools have been integral to helping security teams quickly respond to attacks. Now, in the era of generative AI, Elastic is changing the game by delivering AI-driven security analytics to replace SIEM and modernize the SOC.

Elastic’s approach to AI for the SOC includes several generative AI features embedded within the Elastic Security solution that fundamentally enhance security analysts' ability to defend their environments. The freedom for security teams to choose their large language model (LLM) of choice to serve as the engine for these critical generative AI tools is important as they balance partner, technology, and data governance requirements.

Fortunately, Elastic's open framework facilitates seamless integration with various LLM providers, enabling adaptation to the rapidly evolving AI landscape. To support our customers with LLM provider choices, Elastic now integrates with Anthropic’s Claude 3 family of models, which offers a powerful combination of performance, accuracy, and scalability for security use cases. This integration allows Elastic's customers to leverage the power of Claude's deep reasoning capabilities and speed to enhance threat detection, automate security tasks, and strengthen their overall security posture.

Furthermore, the Elastic AI Assistant allows analysts to delve deeper into each alert by asking Claude follow-up questions. Claude then provides security teams with trusted and specific remediation steps based on Claude's understanding of business context and data. This streamlined process enhances both initial threat detection and subsequent analytical tasks, enabling swift and informed responses to security incidents.

1. Haiku: Designed for cost-effectiveness, Haiku is ideal for organizations with budget constraints or when dealing with lower-risk scenarios. It excels at quickly answering simple questions when used with the Elastic AI Assistant for Security.

2. Opus: Prioritizing accuracy above all else, Opus is best suited for high-stakes situations where precision is paramount.

3. Sonnet: Striking a balance between Haiku and Opus, Sonnet provides the best middle ground for most security operations. It is both affordable and precise, making it the ideal choice for use with Attack Discovery.

Elastic's AI Assistant allows for seamless switching between these models within unified workflows, ensuring that security teams can always use the best features of each model to optimize their work, automate routine tasks, and uncover critical insights about threats.

"Security is paramount, but increasingly complex amid a growing number of threats and attacks. By combining Claude's deep reasoning capabilities and speed with Elastic's Attack Discovery and AI Assistant features, customers can quickly detect threats, automate security tasks, uncover critical insights, and take action," said Michael Gerstenhaber, VP of Product at Anthropic. "The Claude 3 model family enables Elastic's customers to easily select the most suitable AI model for their specific needs to strengthen their security posture."
