Elastic has been named a Leader in the recent IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Extended Detection and Response (XDR) Software 2025 Vendor Assessment.

IDC recognized Elastic Security for its unmatched search capabilities, flexible data ingestion, AI-powered assistant, and open, transparent security model. These strengths help security operations teams investigate faster, cut through alert noise, and meet data sovereignty requirements without adding cost or complexity.

The Elastic Security platform strengths highlighted by IDC include:

Highlights

  • AI-powered Attack Discovery: Our built-in AI Assistant and Attack Discovery act as a virtual SOC analyst, correlating alerts and context for guiding faster investigations.
  • Federated search where data lives: Analyze all data — structured or unstructured, cloud or on-premises — with real-time federated search. This unified view reduces time to detection and cuts costs while preserving data sovereignty.
  • Open XDR freedom: Security is open and transparent. We share detections and make AI explainable. Unify data with our agent or third-party EDRs — enabling XDR without vendor lock-in.
  • Built-in prevention, not just alerts: Elastic Defend stops ransomware, lateral movement, and file tampering before damage occurs. Combine prevention controls and behavioral analytics in one unified agent.
  • All-inclusive security: Get unified SIEM, XDR, and cloud security in a single integrated platform. No extra SKUs, no bolt-ons, no compromises — just a seamless experience.
