How Elastic Is Changing the SIEM Game With AI Solutions

The security information and event management landscape is constantly evolving, but “traditional SIEM has classically been stuck in the enterprises due to accessibility,” according to Mike Nichols, vice president of product management for security at Elastic.

Nichols underscored the challenges modern SOC analysts face, including burnout due to the overwhelming volume of alerts. “You take a personal toll of not being able to churn through what’s out there,” he said, stressing the need to find “the signal in the noise.” As predictive and generative AI are becoming crucial tools for prioritizing alerts effectively, AI can identify what matters most.

“Large language models can stitch together and find the commonality between different alerts that aren’t just based on these atomic indicators,” he said. “When we feed the alert information and your context into these models, it can spit out: ‘Hey, this thing matters. Here’s the five alerts that are strung together across a kill chain like MITRE’s ATT&CK matrix.’”
