SAN FRANCISCO: Elastic (NYSE: ESTC), the Search AI Company, announced that it has been named a Leader by Forrester Research in The Forrester Wave™: Security Analytics Platforms, Q2 2025. Elastic ranked highest in the Federated Search criterion and received the highest possible scores across 14 criteria, including Artificial Intelligence, Analyst Experience, Investigation and Deployment options.

According to Forrester Principal Analyst and report author Allie Mellen, “Elastic is an engineering-driven company that manages and analyzes data for security and observability use cases. It has a consistent vision of solving security as a data problem. Its innovation, especially in AI, is at the forefront of the market…”

The report also states: “Customers hail Elastic’s support, its built-in security expertise, and its generative AI innovators, especially Attack Discovery and its use of retrieval augmented generation. Clients who want to work with an engineering-focused company that prioritizes an open and flexible approach and a cost-effective offering are best suited to Elastic.”

Elastic believes it stood out in this evaluation for addressing the core needs of today’s defenders:

• Operational efficiency: Elastic unifies SIEM, threat intel, XDR, and cloud security in one platform to reduce complexity and tool sprawl.
• AI with transparency: Elastic’s AI capabilities explain their logic and augment—never replace—analyst workflows.
• Cost control and flexibility: Elastic removes paywalls, supports hybrid environments, and enables deployments in any cloud, air-gapped, or on-prem setup.
• Built for security analysts: With federated search, timeline views, and open detection rules, Elastic is designed to match how security analysts think and work.
• Proven outcomes: Elastic Security has become the platform of choice for organizations like KPN, Booking.com, Infomatica and global Fortune 500 companies, reducing MTTR by up to 99%, replacing tool sprawl, and delivering full MITRE ATT&CK coverage at a lower total cost of ownership, all while achieving better visibility across environments and improved SOC performance without vendor lock-in.

Elastic believes this recognition affirms that it is delivering what modern security teams need: speed, visibility, and outcomes that scale.

“Elastic is committed to solving security as a data problem with an open, AI-driven analytics approach that puts analysts in control with visibility across the entire attack surface and augmenting team expertise with context-aware AI,” said Santosh Krishnan, general manager of Security and Observability at Elastic. “For us, being recognized as a Leader by Forrester Research in the 2025 Forrester Wave for Security Analytics reiterates our continued investment in bringing powerful, practical security solutions to our customers.”
