The Search Guard mission
We shape IT security and Open Source business models, driven by our core values.
Security first!
Search Guard always follows a Security First approach. This mantra drives many of our technical and business decisions, and our top priority is to provide you with the best security solution for Elasticsearch out there.
Open Source
Security-related software has to be Open Source by definition. Since it is such a crucial and sensitive part of your infrastructure, you need to be able to inspect, audit and compile the code yourself. The complete code of Search Guard has always been openly available, and will always be.
No-nonsense IT
We always strive to provide you with the best solution for your requirements. Our licensing model is fair and simple. We listen to your feature requests and provide you with custom solutions and integrations. We are your partner on the way to security and compliance.
