We are excited to announce that Elastic is joining forces with Cmd to accelerate our efforts in Cloud security - specifically in cloud workload runtime security. By integrating the capabilities of Cmd's expertise and product into Elastic Security, we will enable customers to detect, prevent, and respond to attacks on their cloud workloads. Adding to our recent announcement to acquire build.security, this will give customers cloud security protections from build-time, to deployment-time, to runtime.
Cmd is a leader in infrastructure detection and response (IDR), providing deep and performant visibility into cloud workloads using extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) technology and performing expert detection and prevention on cloud-native data. eBPF has revolutionized how organizations observe and protect cloud workloads. By safely and efficiently running sandboxed programs in the Linux kernel, developers can rapidly innovate and deliver entirely new Observability and Security outcomes to users. This combination is a reflection of our commitment to eBPF and such technologies that enable users to observe and protect modern cloud-native systems in the most frictionless way possible.
Cmd also aligns with Elastic's commitment to delighting the developer and practitioner community. The Cmd product embraces a developer-first approach, delivering experiences that all practitioners, from developers to operations, DevOps, site reliability engineers, and security experts can embrace. We are excited to expand Elastic's portfolio with a shared passion for this community.
