## AI overview

Elastic Security supports hypothesis-driven threat hunting by unifying security telemetry, enabling cross-cluster analytics, correlating signals, and helping threat hunters validate hypotheses quickly. The article describes agentic workflows, an AI Assistant, threat research, detection rules, entity analytics, and machine learning anomaly detection as supporting capabilities.

## Source excerpt

Elastic Security is designed to enable hypothesis-driven threat hunting at speed and scale. By unifying security telemetry and enabling analytics across clusters, threat hunters can ask complex questions across all their data, correlate signals, and validate hypotheses quickly without manual data stitching.
