The combined technologies bring AI-driven security innovations to SOC teams

Elastic (NYSE: ESTC), the Search AI Company, in collaboration with LangChain, the de facto generative AI orchestration library, is building and delivering AI capabilities that expedite labor-intensive SecOps tasks.

The collaboration has been core to the development of Elastic Security features—Automatic Import, Attack Discovery and Elastic Assistant for Security—on the Elastic Search AI Platform. These features streamline user migration to AI-driven security analytics and expedite security operations workflows.

"Working with Elastic has been amazing in so many ways. The Elastic AI Assistant for Security, powered by LangChain's standard large language model (LLM) interfaces and instrumented using LangSmith, has successfully deployed to production, reaching hundreds of users,” said Erick Friis, founding engineer at LangChain. “Elastic is also using LangGraph to build more controllable agents. It's inspiring to see how our shared users have embraced similar retrieval workflows on their Elastic deployments.”

The integration between Elastic Security with LangChain leverages two key components:

LangChain and LangGraph provide the necessary tools for building applications that require context-aware reasoning, such as:

Enhancing Elastic AI Assistant’s ability to understand and react to complex security scenarios and generate queries
Attack Discovery’s ability to identify and describe attacks
Automatic Import’s ability to craft an accurate data integration based on sample data

Users have the freedom to integrate the generative AI features of Elastic Security with their LLM of choice. With the Elastic Open Inference API and LangChain’s extensive chat model ecosystem, Elastic is quickly expanding customers’ LLM options.

“Elastic is focused on delivering innovative AI features for security teams to accelerate their migration from legacy SIEM and free up teams from traditionally time-consuming, complex and mundane tasks,” said Mike Nichols, vice president of product, Security at Elastic. “Through our close relationship with LangChain and integrations with LangGraph and LangSmith, we’ve created features that give valuable time back to security practitioners.”
