We are excited to announce that Elastic® has been honored with the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Award 2023 for Cloud Security Platform of the Year. This award recognizes our open, unified solution with integrated cloud security capabilities that protect both cloud-native and hybrid workloads, enabling analysts to defend against cloud misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and runtime attacks.

CyberSecurity Breakthrough recognizes today’s best information security companies and products and is driven by an independent panel of experts who thoroughly review and evaluate each entry.

Securing cloud environments with visibility and control

Gaining visibility and control over the virtual infrastructure in the cloud are key challenges for most organizations. Elastic Security for Cloud helps analysts monitor all of their cloud-native environments in one place and offers native capabilities to monitor cloud environments for compliance and assess runtime risk in cloud workloads, integrating with other cloud providers to ingest data from multiple sources and secure your cloud from attacks.

Elastic Security for Cloud addresses these challenges by offering a single, unified cloud-native application protection solution that provides analysts and security teams the following capabilities and benefits:

Cloud workload protection

Elastic Security for Cloud provides cloud workload protection for standalone Linux workloads, virtual machines, and infrastructure hosted in AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. This protection includes deep visibility into what is happening inside your cloud workloads and at the kernel level.

Container workload protection

Elastic Security for Cloud also provides container workload protection for managed Kubernetes environments. This protection includes deep visibility into activity inside container workloads, as well as pre-execution runtime analysis that can help you to prevent changes to workloads running in Amazon environments.

Cloud security posture management

Elastic Security for Cloud also includes cloud security posture management capabilities. This allows you to quickly and easily assess whether your cloud environment is configured securely by evaluating your cloud assets against controls within Center for Information Security (CIS) benchmarks. This enables you to continuously detect and remediate misconfigurations across workloads in GCP, AWS, and Azure (coming soon) in real time.

Cloud-native vulnerability management

Elastic Security for Cloud also includes cloud-native vulnerability management capabilities. This continuously uncovers vulnerabilities in AWS EC2 with zero resource utilization on workloads. Elastic identifies, reports, and guides remediation of these vulnerabilities to help you identify and respond to potential risk.

Elastic Security for Cloud is also supported by Elastic Security Labs threat research and Elastic AI Assistant. Elastic Security Labs is run by a team of security experts who are constantly researching new threats and developing new security solutions. Elastic AI Assistant is a generative AI-based feature that can help you to automate security tasks and identify threats.

We are grateful to CyberSecurity Breakthrough for recognizing Elastic Security for Cloud as a leading cloud security solution. We are committed to providing our customers with the best possible security solution, and we will continue to invest in Elastic Security for Cloud to make it even more powerful and effective.
