Elastic announced Elastic Security now offers expanded cloud detection and response (CDR) capabilities from a single SIEM to reduce tool fragmentation and streamline cloud security.
The additional features include agentless ingestion, cloud asset inventory, extended protections, and graph view that enables out-of-the-box correlation and context enrichment using customers’ existing data.
Legacy security solutions have complex workflows and lack cloud-specific context, making them inadequate for the scale and complexity of cloud environments. Using standalone CDR tools often generates vast amounts of fragmented data, making real-time analysis and threat correlation difficult. To address these challenges, Elastic has eliminated the need for a separate CDR tool by being the first to integrate the CDR capabilities directly into an ElasticAI-driven security analytics solution.
“Increasingly dynamic cloud environments are presenting visibility challenges for security with 44% reporting that threat detection and response is more difficult to conduct in cloud environments," said Dave Gruber, principal security analyst at ESG . “SOC teams need to address this cloud visibility gap by collecting, processing, monitoring, and acting upon information from an assortment of cloud security telemetry sources spanning multiple hyperscale cloud providers. Elastic Security’s vendor-agnostic approach to CDR, with the ability to easily ingest and normalize cloud data out of the box, enables security teams to surface critical insights at the speed and scale of the cloud directly with their SIEM.”
“Over the past two years, Elastic has integrated cloud security and CDR capabilities directly into its AI-driven security analytics solution to enhance how modern organizations detect and respond to threats more effectively,” said Santosh Krishnan, general manager of Security at Elastic. “Our comprehensive approach maximizes efficiency, lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO), and alleviates the burden on security teams. Ultimately, Elastic Security ensures organizations stay ahead of evolving threats while leveraging the full benefits of CDR.”
Support for Elastic Security’s new CDR capabilities is available today.

Most organizations approach OpenTelemetry as a collection of individual tools they need to assemble from scratch. This view misses the bigger picture. OpenTelemetry is a complete telemetry framework with composable components that address specific problems at different stages of organizational maturity.

One of the earliest lessons I learned from architecting throughput-heavy services is that simplicity wins repeatedly: fewer moving parts, loosely coupled execution (fewer synchronous calls), and precise timing metering. You want data and decisions to travel the shortest possible path. The goal is to build a system where every strategy and each line of code (contention is the key metric) complements the decision trees ...
As discussions around AI "autonomous coworkers" accelerate, many industry projections assume that agents will soon operate alongside human staff in making decisions, taking actions, and managing tasks with minimal oversight. But a growing number of critics (including some of the developers building these systems) argue that the industry still has a long way to go to be able to treat AI agents like fully trusted teammates ...
Enterprise AI has entered a transformational phase where, according to Digitate's recently released survey, Agentic AI and the Future of Enterprise IT, companies are moving beyond traditional automation toward Agentic AI systems designed to reason, adapt, and collaborate alongside human teams ...
The numbers back this urgency up. A recent Zapier survey shows that 92% of enterprises now treat AI as a top priority. Leaders want it, and teams are clamoring for it. But if you look closer at the operations of these companies, you see a different picture. The rollout is slow. The results are often delayed. There's a disconnect between what leaders want and what their technical infrastructure can handle ...
Kyndryl's 2025 Readiness Report revealed that 61% of global business and technology leaders report increasing pressure from boards and regulators to prove AI's ROI. As the technology evolves and expectations continue to rise, leaders are compelled to generate and prove impact before scaling further. This will lead to a decisive turning point in 2026 ...

If you work with AI, you know this story. A model performs during testing, looks great in early reviews, works perfectly in production and then slowly loses relevance after operating for a while. Everything on the surface looks perfect — pipelines are running, predictions or recommendations are error-free, data quality checks show green; yet outcomes don't meet the ground reality. This pattern often repeats across enterprise AI programs. Take for example, a mid-sized retail banking and wealth-management firm with heavy investments in AI-powered risk analytics, fraud detection and personalized credit-decisioning systems. The model worked well for a while, but transactions increased, so did false positives by 18% ...
Basic uptime is no longer the gold standard. By 2026, network monitoring must do more than report status, it must explain performance in a hybrid-first world. Networks are no longer just static support systems; they are agile, distributed architectures that sit at the very heart of the customer experience and the business outcomes ... The following five trends represent the new standard for network health, providing a blueprint for teams to move from reactive troubleshooting to a proactive, integrated future ...
