Run security operations for more than one team, region, or customer, and you inherit a familiar tradeoff. One giant deployment gives you a single view but costs you tenant isolation, while separate environments preserve isolation and scatter your analysts across contexts, with detection rules drifting into 12 slightly different copies along the way. Cross-project search (CPS) on Elastic Cloud Serverless is built to end that tradeoff. One Elastic Security project runs detection and triage, along…

AI has already made fundamental changes to the operating environment for cybersecurity. Cyberattackers are testing more paths, adapting their techniques, and moving across digital environments with greater speed and persistence. The weaknesses they exploit remain familiar: excessive permissions, unprotected authentication flows, unpatched systems, exposed execution paths, and gaps between controls. What has changed is how quickly these weaknesses can combine into attack paths that cross…
