Elastic recognized as a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Security Information and Event Management

October 15, 2025

We’re proud to share that Elastic has been recognized as a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)! We see this recognition as validation of our innovative approach and our belief that security should be open, intelligent, and seamlessly integrated into business operations. We believe Elastic’s strong position in this report underscores our value to customers as a proven, forward-thinking security vendor and one that can quickly adapt to the changing nature of the security industry with differentiated features that solve our customers’ real-world issues — a true visionary.

Every day, attackers grow faster, stealthier, and more adaptive. Security teams, meanwhile, are asked to defend more complex, sprawling environments with fewer resources. At Elastic, we believe solving this imbalance requires more than adding in another tool; it requires a unified, AI-driven vision that redefines how organizations detect, investigate, respond, and evolve to the threat landscape.

The Elastic vision: Security that sees and adapts

For too long, SOCs have been overwhelmed by alert fatigue, tool silos, and painful migrations. Elastic addresses these structural challenges with a solution built to simplify operations and amplify analyst impact by helping them respond to threats more effectively with AI grounded in enterprise knowledge and take on complex security tasks:

Agentic AI, built to support analysts: Built-in agentic AI powers detection and response by correlating signals, recommending next steps, and automating routine work so that analysts spend less time stitching events and more time mitigating risk and hunting.
Built-in conversational AI: The Elastic AI Assistant allows analysts to use natural language to ask complex security questions, providing context-rich, accurate results to summarize, explain, and recommend next steps.
Unified detection and response across your ecosystem: Elastic extends detection across your SIEM, XDR, and cloud security, including third-party solutions, helping analysts correlate petabytes of data, trace events, pivot between related events, and respond quickly to threats wherever they are found.
Transparency and control with an open source foundation: All Elastic detection rules are open source, governed by Elastic, and reviewed by the community. Analysts can use, inspect, and customize detection rules to best suit their environments.
Open and extensible platform: Elastic is enterprise-grade, community-hardened, and tested by analysts globally. SOC teams can ingest any data, build custom pipelines, and integrate with existing security tools.
Augmenting existing investments: Not every organization can migrate all at once. Elastic AI SOC Engine (EASE) brings AI-driven capabilities for alert correlation, triage, and response into existing SIEM and EDR deployments without requiring full migration.

Milestones on the journey

This Visionary recognition comes at a time of significant momentum for Elastic Security marked by milestones that showcase our mission in action:

AI innovation at the core: The launch of EASE and new enhancements to Attack Discovery, AI Assistant, and Automatic Migration empower customers to adopt AI-driven detection and investigation today whether through enhancing existing deployments or modernizing their SIEM.
Extended security with XDR and SIEM: By unifying XDR, endpoint, and cloud detection and response within SIEM, Elastic provides unified visibility and correlation across multiple environments without having to hop between products.
Market and customer validation: Earning FedRAMP High In Process, achieving a 100/100 score in AV-Comparatives, and acquiring Keep all reflect our ability to support the most regulated industries and accelerate innovation in collaborative, AI-driven operations.

Each of these milestones reflects the same belief: Security can no longer be siloed. It must be unified, intelligent, and adaptable to customer environments.

A unified, adaptive vision for security

Elastic’s security vision is simple: Turn every signal into context and every context into action. By unifying cloud and on-prem data — logs, endpoint, and cloud posture — on a single Elastic foundation, we use AI to connect the dots into clear attack narratives instead of alert noise. Built-in automation then translates insight into orchestrated response, shrinking MTTD and MTTR with transparent and easily repeatable response actions. And because transformation shouldn’t stall protection, our intelligent migration capabilities translate rules and pipelines so that teams can modernize without the rewrites and risks of a rip-and-replace.

Together, these developments don’t just represent product progress; they define a new security paradigm:

Contextual, unified AI-driven detection across cloud and on-prem that elevates signals into attack narratives
AI and automation for decisive response with explainable analytics and playbooks that cut investigation and remediation time
Intelligent migration that accelerates modernization, translating legacy assets to reduce risk and time-to-value
One platform for search, observability, and security, lowering TCO while strengthening visibility and governance

Elastic Security is built on the open source Elasticsearch platform, combining SIEM, XDR, and cloud security with search and observability all on one foundation. As AI reshapes both attacks and defenses, we’ll keep innovating so that our customers are always one step ahead.

For too long, security has been locked behind closed doors: secretive, siloed, and burdened by policy while adversaries adapt at machine speed. Elastic takes the opposite approach: open, transparent, and community-driven. Our conviction is that democratizing security makes every organization stronger. That’s why it’s so meaningful to see Gartner highlight the power of AI to finally shift the battlefield. We believe being named a Visionary in the Magic Quadrant reflects our journey with customers to reimagine the SOC, proving that security doesn’t have to be slow or reactive. With an open source foundation and AI at the core, Elastic is helping teams detect threats sooner, respond with confidence, and unify security, search, and observability in a single platform accessible to all.
