Elastic has announced a collaboration with LangChain, a notable generative AI orchestration library, aimed at introducing AI-driven innovations to security operations (SecOps) teams.
This partnership has resulted in the development of key features on the Elastic Search AI Platform, including Automatic Import, Attack Discovery, and the Elastic Assistant for Security. These features are designed to streamline AI-driven security analytics and expedite SecOps tasks, thereby providing valuable time back to security practitioners.
"Working with Elastic has been amazing in so many ways," said Erick Friis, founding engineer at LangChain.
"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."
"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 and LangChain leverages two key components. LangChain and LangGraph provide the necessary tools for building applications requiring context-aware reasoning. This includes enhancing the Elastic AI Assistant's ability to comprehend and react to complex security scenarios and generate informed queries. Additionally, it supports Attack Discovery's capability to identify and describe attacks, and Automatic Import's proficiency in crafting accurate data integration based on sample data.
Users have the option to integrate the generative AI features of Elastic Security with their chosen LLM. With the Elastic Open Inference API and LangChain's extensive chat model ecosystem, Elastic is quickly expanding customers' LLM choices.
"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," stated 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."
