This designation recognizes that Elastic has demonstrated and successfully met the AWS technical and quality requirements for providing customers with a deep level of expertise in AI Security and Threat Detection and Response, to help them achieve their cloud security goals.

</p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
As enterprises adopt generative and agentic AI, they face emerging threats including prompt injection, model abuse, and attacks on autonomous agents. Elastic helps organizations secure both infrastructure and AI applications from a single platform, providing visibility into AI-specific risks while accelerating secure innovation.

"Achieving the AI Security distinction in the AWS Security Competency reinforces Elastic’s approach to enabling organizations to safely operationalize AI at scale," <b xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">said Mike Nichols, general manager, Security at Elastic.</b> "Organizations building AI need security that keeps pace with rapidly evolving threats. Elastic addresses this need with an agentic platform that automates the security lifecycle, empowering analysts to focus on critical threats."

Elastic Security, the agentic security operations platform, combines SIEM, XDR, and AI-powered detection and response in a unified platform. When built using Amazon Bedrock, Elastic AI Assistant enables security teams to investigate threats using natural language, accelerating response and reducing analyst fatigue.

Elastic also connects with Amazon GuardDuty, AWS Security Hub, AWS CloudTrail, Amazon Inspector, and Amazon Bedrock. Detection content from Elastic Security Labs is mapped to MITRE ATT&amp;CK and available as soon as new data sources are connected. For organizations building agentic AI with Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Elastic provides additional security for the unique risks posed by attacks, abuses, and threats that move at machine speed.

</p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
This adds to Elastic&#39;s growing portfolio of AWS Competencies. As an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner, Elastic holds the AWS Security Competency, the AWS Data and Analytics Competency, the AWS Financial Services Competency, the AWS Government Competency, the AWS AI Competency, and the AWS Education Competency, and participates in the AWS ISV Accelerate Program and the AWS ISV Workload Migration Program. Together, these recognitions reflect Elastic&#39;s commitment to helping customers build, deploy, and protect AI applications on AWS with confidence.
