What’s new?

Elastic Security unifies SIEM, endpoint security solution, and cloud security, helping practitioners prevent, detect, and respond to threats quickly and at cloud scale.

Elastic Observability is the most widely deployed solution for transforming metrics, logs, and traces into actionable IT insights — enabling you to unify observability across your entire digital ecosystem.

  • Read about serverless distributed tracing support for Azure Functions, monitoring support for Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Autopilot clusters, the new user interface for Synthetics Monitoring, and more in our Elastic Observability highlights blog or in the 8.7 release notes.

Elastic Enterprise Search is the gold standard for implementing powerful, modern search and discovery experiences with Elasticsearch — enabling you to search everything, anywhere.

And, as each of Elastic’s out-of-the box solutions are all built on one platform — the Elasticsearch Platform — everyone benefits from core enhancements like the general availability of time series database (TSDB).
