Laurentiu Popescu - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Product Officer at ClusterPower
Has improved threat detection with deep log analysis and streamlined investigation workflows
The most useful features I find in Elastic Security are the forensic ones that allow us to carry deeper analysis into the logs for in-depth investigations, and the dashboards, with the reporting dashboard being quite user-friendly. Elastic Security is quite good at identifying threats, as it is part of the deep investigation tool that I mentioned before. Unless we need to look further into a certain log, we can carry out a deeper analysis and forensics on those particular logs. I can assess the impact of Elastic Security's real-time data analysis on our threat response efficiency as working pretty good. We are looking for real-time analysis because we have a continuous inflow of logs from different sources: from our cloud, from Active Directory, from our network. So it works pretty well.

Enhancements needed for security alerts while ongoing training strengthens defenses
This year, I am going to improve some tools to be installed or maybe acquire some services to better manage our web services and work with my coworkers. Application fiber also needs attention. Nowadays I am making applications that are publicly seen on the Internet. I need some protection, possibly multi-factor authentication improvements. I am seeing, for workflows, some sort of ethical hacking to test our environment. Knowledge of everything, not only the product - maybe some kind of alerts - needs to emerge. I see the current ones as very low-tier, and they must improve.
