The company's agentic security operations platform integrates with AWS services like Amazon Bedrock and GuardDuty, and its Elastic 9.4 release introduces new automation and entity analytics capabilities.", "body_md": "# Elastic achieves the AWS AI Security Distinction, securing AI-specific risks\n\nLearn how five years of security innovation from cloud-native threat detection to AI security and an autonomous SOC earned Elastic the newest recognition from AWS.\n\n###### Summary\n\n- Elastic builds on five years of security innovation to achieve the\n**AI Security Distinction in the AWS Security Competency** - Elastic has kept pace with a threat landscape that has changed faster in the past two years than in the previous decade.\n- Elastic natively integrates with Amazon GuardDuty, Amazon Security Hub, Amazon Security Lake, Amazon Inspector, and Amazon Bedrock.\n- Elastic AI Agent, Workflows, LLM security detections, and agentic SOC platform capabilities are all available in Elastic Security.\n\nSecurity has never been more challenging. AI-powered attacks are accelerating, alert volumes continue to grow, and security teams can't scale through manual investigation alone. That's why Elastic spent the past several years reimagining Elastic Security — the agentic security operations platform that unifies SIEM, EDR, cloud security, and AI-driven workflows on a single platform built on Elasticsearch.\n\nToday, that vision has earned Elastic the AI Security Distinction in the AWS Security Competency. This recognition validates Elastic's ability to help organizations secure both their environments and the AI systems they are building. Amazon Web Services (AWS) awarded the specialization based on rigorous technical validation, proven customer references, and [third-party proof](https://www.elastic.co/blog/av-comparatives-business-security-test-2025) that Elastic Security delivers market-leading efficacy without compromise.\n\nAs enterprises adopt generative and agentic AI, they face emerging threats ranging from prompt injection and model abuse to attacks on autonomous agents. Elastic helps organizations secure both their AWS infrastructure and AI applications through a unified platform, providing visibility into AI-specific risks, such as untrusted model onboarding, agent manipulation, retrieval augmented generation (RAG) data poisoning, and safety control tampering while enabling a faster path to secure, AI-powered innovation. The AWS AI Security Distinction is more than an award; it’s recognition of Elastic's leadership in helping organizations secure the future of AI.\n\n## Continued security innovation\n\nAnd the innovation just keeps going. With the [Elastic 9.4 release](https://www.elastic.co/blog/whats-new-elastic-9-4-0#elastic-security), Elastic Workflows is now generally available. It combines both scripted automation and agentic reasoning, enabling AI agents to act on their findings. Workflows brings native automation directly into Elastic Security, automating triage, enrichment, response, and case management where security data already lives.\n\n[Attack Discovery](https://www.elastic.co/demo-gallery/security-attack-discovery) already powers correlated findings within the stack. The same agentic pattern extends into Elastic Workflows, which automates deterministic tasks, such as entity enrichment, case creation, and host isolation while Elastic Agent Builder reasons over the data and invokes those workflows as tools. Together, Elastic Workflows and Agent Builder deepen these capabilities within the stack.\n\nFour new Entity Analytics capabilities are also included in the 9.4 release: Precision Entity Identification, Entity Resolution, Dynamic Watchlists, and Entity-Driven Hunting Leads. Together, these capabilities give analysts one authoritative record per person with aggregated risk, organizational context, and proactive hunting leads built in. For AI agents that reason over security data, this provides more accurate context to work from.\n\n## Getting started\n\nFor Elastic customers on AWS, there is no migration required. The Elastic AI Agent, Workflows, LLM security detections, and agentic SOC capabilities are available in Elastic Security today.\n\nTo learn more, explore:\n\n[Elastic available in AWS Marketplace](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-voru33wi6xs7k?sr=0-1&ref_=beagle&applicationId=AWSMPContessa): Start a seven-day free trial and deploy in minutes.\n\n*The release and timing of any features or functionality described in this post remain at Elastic's sole discretion.
