About OpenSearch Security

OpenSearch Security provides an open source security plugin designed to enhance the OpenSearch platform with robust security features tailored for enterprise cybersecurity needs. It enables organizations to implement fine-grained access control, encryption, and audit logging within their SIEM and SOAR environments. The solution is aimed at enterprises seeking a customizable and transparent security layer integrated directly into their search and analytics infrastructure.

This security plugin is ideal for CIOs and security architects who require a flexible, open source alternative to proprietary SIEM and SOAR security solutions. It supports role-based access control, multi-tenancy, and compliance auditing, helping organizations meet internal security policies and external regulatory requirements. By leveraging OpenSearch Security, enterprises can maintain control over their data security while benefiting from an extensible and community-driven platform.

The primary value proposition lies in its open source nature, allowing organizations to avoid vendor lock-in and tailor security configurations to their unique operational environments. It supports deployment in hybrid and on-premises models, making it suitable for enterprises with strict data governance and compliance mandates.

API Security Platforms
The API is now the primary attack surface, and a WAF pointed at it isn't API security. Evaluate Salt, Akamai (Noname), Imperva, F5, Traceable, Wallarm, Cequence, and Data Theorem on whether they actually discover your shadow APIs and catch BOLA and business-logic abuse at runtime — not just sign endpoints off as “protected.”
Attack Surface Management (ASM / CTEM)
Evaluate Wiz, CrowdStrike Falcon Surface, Microsoft Defender EASM, Cortex Xpanse, Censys, CyCognito, Tenable, and runZero across EASM, CAASM, and platform-embedded camps — judged on discovery accuracy and how cleanly the surface feeds prioritization, not how many assets it claims to find.
Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)
Evaluate Netskope, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, Zscaler, and Palo Alto for SaaS security, shadow IT discovery, and data protection.
