Let’s start with assurances that we’re not here to heap anxiety on anyone’s fear of missing out. That being said, we do want to make sure you’re aware of all the goodness that is available in Elastic Security, especially if you’re on an older version. It can be hard to find time to dig into every new release, to see what new features might be available, or check on ways to stretch your budget in order to pick up all the logs you might be missing.
Elastic® releases new versions fairly quickly, driven by new features, user submitted enhancement requests, and of course, the occasional bug fix. It can be challenging to schedule upgrades for every new release, particularly when we’re talking about a SIEM platform that needs to be running 24/7/365, let alone adding in Elastic Agent deployments, Defend endpoint security, and all the logging and alert pipelines that are often involved.
In this blog, we’re going to take a look at my top five reasons for upgrading Elastic Security and the value you can expect from the effort. At the end, we’ll talk about some upgrade planning considerations for minimizing risk and maximizing the value you can get out of an upgrade.
