The endpoint tax is over

Bury restrictive per-endpoint fees and deploy world-class protection with Elastic Security. Analyze critical context and stop attacks instantly with a single agentic security operations platform that includes top-rated XDR with your SIEM.

ANALYST REPORT

Elastic was named a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave™: XDR Platforms, Q2 2026.

INDUSTRY TEST

Elastic successfully blocked 100% of malware encountered in the AV-Comparatives 2026 Test.

DIFFERENTIATORS

Top-rated protection, fully included

100% protection scores from AV-Comparatives. Costs cut by 70%. No per-endpoint fees. That's not a pitch — it's a test result.

WORLD-CLASS PROTECTION EFFICACY

#1-rated endpoint protection

Stop threats before execution. Elastic Security hit 100% protection scores with AV-Comparatives using kernel-level sensors that attackers struggle to bypass. Get world-class protection across Windows, macOS, and Linux — built to stop advanced exploits in their tracks.

COMPREHENSIVE VISIBILITY

Blind spots? Never met them

With XDR, SIEM, and SOAR natively included, erase the gaps between endpoint, network, cloud, identity, and email using 400+ native and third-party integrations for earlier detection, simpler investigation, and faster response.

LOGICAL PRICING

R.I.P. per-endpoint fees

World-class XDR is natively included in Elastic Security, not as an add-on. Deploy agents across your entire infrastructure without the tax of per-endpoint fees.

AGENTIC AI RESPONSE

Response at the speed of AI

Don't just find threats; neutralize them the moment they appear. Triage an alert, enrich it with threat intel, create a case, notify the team, and take response actions, all without leaving the platform.

OPEN AND PROVEN PROTECTIONS

Open logic, validated defense

Most EDR vendors hide their protection logic. We don't. Elastic leads by sharing our behavioral rules and detection logic publicly. See exactly how our endpoint protection works to outpace threats with total precision and accountability.

PROTECTION ANYWHERE

No connection, no problem

Deploy anywhere. Whether cloud, on-prem, or air-gapped, Elastic delivers uninterrupted protection, even in disconnected environments, against today's toughest threats.

"Migrating our EDR to Elastic Defend was a 'flick of a button' experience. Since we already had Elastic Agent deployed, we activated our new security capabilities instantly through a Fleet policy. No pain, no complex rollout — just immediate protection."

Ben Collier Security Engineering Lead, THG Ingenuity

Battle-tested endpoint protections

Proven protection, deep telemetry. Elastic Defend, the native integration that delivers Elastic Endpoint Security, uses kernel-level sensors that attackers can't easily bypass.

Malware protection

ML-powered malware protection that detects and blocks known and emerging threats pre-execution

Ransomware protection

Stops ransomware by monitoring file activity and detecting anomalous modifications instantly

Memory threat protection

Prevents in-memory attacks using YARA-based scanning and deep kernel behavior signals

Malicious behavior protection

Real-time system monitoring with 1,000+ behavioral rules aligned to MITRE ATT&CK coverage

Unify all of your telemetry without added fees.

STEP 1: Onboard all of your security telemetry — including custom sources.

STEP 2: Pinpoint attacks — with open detections.

STEP 3: Neutralize threats — with agentic AI and autonomous response.

#1-rated efficacy, everywhere you run

Elastic Defend is powered by kernel-mode sensors and OS frameworks for real-time threat protection.

Windows

Windows kernel sensors and ETW capture real-time telemetry for deep, effective threat protection

Linux

Linux protection is powered by eBPF to monitor syscalls, processes, and files in real time.

macOS

Macs are protected using Apple's System Extensions Framework to monitor threats in real time.

Kubernetes

Elastic Defend for Containers provides runtime visibility into Kubernetes with eBPF monitoring for threat detection.

PROTECT & RESPOND

XDR and SIEM in one agentic security operations platform

Analyze critical context and stop attacks instantly with a single platform that includes world-class XDR with your SIEM with zero per-endpoint fees.

AI-driven attack discovery

Attack Discovery mirrors the way analysts think, correlating alerts, behaviors, and attack paths across your extended security data with RAG-based context to automatically surface threats and guide triage and investigation.

Visualize process-based attacks and Linux sessions

To help analysts easily see attack chains, Event Analyzer maps real-time process trees from endpoint and container telemetry. Session View reconstructs detailed Linux sessions by capturing real-time commands, file actions, and network connections via eBPF and audit telemetry.

Comprehensive forensic analysis

Acquire forensic artifacts directly from hosts through Elastic Security. Use memory snapshots and OSquery to capture registry keys, persistence, and shell history and prebuilt packs and custom tables to reconstruct attacker actions in real time with total precision.

Rapid endpoint response

Execute defined tasks from playbooks with consistency and reliability with Elastic Workflows. With the Response Console, isolate endpoints, kill processes, and retrieve files. Use built-in automated rules that work with Elastic Defend as well as third-party EDRs.

Agentic and on-demand data collection

Extend endpoint visibility in seconds with prebuilt integrations, including OSquery, audited, and network packet capture. Need to ingest unique data? Use AI to build custom integrations in minutes with Automatic Import.

Endpoint conflict management

Automatic Troubleshooting detects and resolves endpoint performance and security conflicts with third-party antivirus tools, preserving protection without slowing systems down.

Backed by Security Labs Threat Command

Security Labs Threat Command, Elastic's threat research team, makes expert threat research freely available for defenders everywhere. We openly share our detection rules and protections to keep you ahead of evolving attacks.
