Elastic’s new AI SOC Engine adds AI-powered threat detection and triage to existing SIEM and EDR systems.
Elastic has introduced the Elastic AI SOC Engine (EASE), a serverless security package designed to add AI-powered detection and triage capabilities to existing Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) platforms, without requiring immediate migration.
EASE brings Elastic’s proven AI capabilities into the tools teams already use.
AI-driven alert management
EASE integrates Elastic’s Attack Discovery technology to correlate, prioritise, and summarise alerts, reducing SOC analysts’ workload and alert fatigue, while an AI Assistant delivers context-aware insights, natural language queries, and enterprise-wide search across Jira, GitHub, and SharePoint.
Fast deployment, broad compatibility
The solution works with Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, CrowdStrike, and other tools through agentless integrations. This allows organisations to ingest and analyse alerts immediately, applying AI without installing new agents or replacing systems.
Transparency and flexibility
EASE supports both customer-managed and Elastic-managed large language models (LLMs). All AI responses are cited, with complete logging of queries, responses, and token usage, ensuring traceability.
Operational metrics
Built-in dashboards provide measurable insights into time savings, improved detection, and return on investment, enabling security leaders to demonstrate business value.
Industry perspective
“SOC analysts are overwhelmed by high alert volumes and lack the AI support they need from their existing SIEM and EDR solutions,” said Santosh Krishnan, general manager, Observability & Security at Elastic. “EASE brings Elastic’s proven AI capabilities into the tools teams already use, to automatically prioritise threats, correlate alerts, and accelerate investigations.”
Michelle Abraham, senior research director at IDC, said the product addresses a key challenge—introducing open and transparent AI into SOCs without rebuilding infrastructure.
By embedding AI-driven detection, alert correlation, and investigation, Elastic helps organisations uncover threats faster and strengthen defences while protecting investments.
