Why Elastic Is Making Endpoint Security ‘Free And Open’ – Mike Nichols – PSW #662
Elastic believes that transparency and collaboration must be the new norm for the greater infosec community to succeed in stopping threats at scale.
With many individuals now working from home, new endpoints need to be secured and IT teams are rushing years of planning into a few months to onboard distributed employees and resources – all while managing a global shift that is bringing new adversary behaviors targeting the new remote workforce.
Organizations need to react fast, implement new controls, and do it all while managing existing budgets and staff. Making Elastic endpoint security completely free and open helps level the playing field for organizations that are struggling with the typically high cost and complexity of adopting effective endpoint security.
