Introducing Search Guard FLX 3.0: The Future of Enterprise Security for Elasticsearch

CEO / Founder

Welcome to the future of enterprise security. We’re excited to unveil Search Guard FLX 3.0 – the most powerful and flexible security suite yet for your Elasticsearch deployment. Packed with new features, this release is designed to make securing your Elasticsearch clusters easier, more efficient, and more scalable than ever before.

New Features in Search Guard FLX 3.0

Data Streams and Aliases: First-Class Citizens

One of the standout features of Search Guard FLX 3.0 is the addition of Data Streams and Aliases as first-class citizens. This means managing time-series data and creating flexible data access patterns is now more streamlined and intuitive. Whether you're working with logs, metrics, or other types of time-series data, you can now create security policies that align perfectly with how you store and access data. This seamless integration makes your Elasticsearch deployment easier to manage and more secure.

Improved Signals with Scalable Configuration

Search Guard has always been known for its powerful alerting capabilities, and in version 3.0, we've taken it a step further. Signals now come with new configuration options designed for easy scaling. As your Elasticsearch deployment grows, so does your ability to monitor and act on critical events – without any hiccups. Our new features allow you to scale your alerting and notification system as you scale your infrastructure, ensuring that no alert goes unnoticed.

Kibana Dark Mode Support

For all you night owls out there – we’ve heard you! We’re thrilled to announce that Search Guard now fully supports Kibana dark mode. Whether you're working in low-light environments or just prefer the darker aesthetic, Search Guard ensures that every screen, every menu, and every detail of your Kibana interface is optimized for low-light use. Say goodbye to eye strain and hello to better visibility with our sleek dark mode design.

Streamlined Error Handling

Time spent troubleshooting is time lost, which is why we’ve revamped our error handling in Search Guard FLX 3.0. With clear, actionable error messages, you’ll be able to identify and resolve issues in record time. No more guesswork or frustration—just straightforward solutions that help you get back on track quickly. We’ve made troubleshooting as easy as possible, so you can focus on what matters most: securing your Elasticsearch cluster.

Transparent and Simple Licensing

We get it — enterprise software licensing can be confusing and full of hidden costs. That’s why at Search Guard, we’ve made our licensing model refreshingly simple. We believe security shouldn’t come with surprises or complicated math, and with Search Guard, it doesn’t.
