== Elastic AI Assistant enhancements

The {security-guide}/security-assistant.html[Elastic AI Assistant] now has a centralized UI for configuring settings, and you can now {security-guide}/security-assistant.html#data-information[anonymize data] sent to and from the AI provider.

== Detect network intrusions and compromised hosts with Lateral movement detection
== Navigation menu updates

Lateral movement detection is a new, preventative advanced analytics package that detects anomalies from intrusions, file transfer, and Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) events, which indicate lateral movement. To download and configure this package, follow the instructions https://github.com/elastic/integrations/blob/6895ccf89d56bcd6fabee733740c7f99f2afd991/packages/lmd/docs/README.md[here].
The Security navigation menu has been updated with reorganized sections and a refreshed design. In addition, a new **Rules** section allows you to access the following pages:

NOTE: This feature requires a Platinum or Enterprise http://elastic.co/pricing[subscription].
* Rules
* Benchmark Integrations
* Shared Exception Lists
* MITRE ATT&CK® coverage

=== New UI for installing and upgrading prebuilt detection rules
== Elastic AI Assistant enhancements

There's a {security-guide}/prebuilt-rules-management.html[newly redesigned UI] and workflow for managing prebuilt detection rules to allow more flexibility and visibility into rule updates. You can now select which prebuilt rules you want to install and update, instead of only installing the entire set of rules. You can also duplicate a rule to make changes to it.
A new RBAC setting controls user access to the {security-guide}/security-assistant.html[Elastic AI Assistant].

[role="screenshot"]
image::whats-new/images/8.9/prebuilt-rules.png[Prebuilt rules UI]

In addition, prebuilt detection rules have new tags to categorize your rules, such as the rule’s purpose, detection method, associated resources, and other information.

=== Monitor rule performance with the new Detection rule monitoring dashboard

The {security-guide}/rule-monitoring-dashboard.html[Detection rule monitoring dashboard] provides visualizations to help you monitor the overall health and performance of {elastic-sec}'s detection rules. Review this dashboard for a high-level overview to determine if your rules are running successfully and how long they’re taking to run, search data, and create alerts.

== Detection rules and alerts enhancements

[float]
=== Automated endpoint response actions for rules

You can now add the {security-guide}/host-isolation-ov.html#isolate-a-host[host isolation response action] to rules. When rule conditions are met, the endpoint is automatically isolated.
=== MITRE ATT&CK® coverage page

[float]
=== Rule exceptions auto-populated with alert data
The {security-guide}/rules-coverage.html[MITRE ATT&CK® coverage page] shows which MITRE ATT&CK® adversary tactics and techniques are covered by your installed and enabled detection rules. This includes both Elastic prebuilt rules and custom rules.

Now, when you {security-guide}/add-exceptions.html#detection-rule-exceptions[create a new rule exception] from an alert, exception conditions are auto-populated with relevant alert data. A comment describing this action is also automatically added to the *Add comments* section.
[role="screenshot"]
image::whats-new/images/8.10/rules-coverage.png[MITRE ATT&CK® coverage page]

[float]
=== Interactive investigation guides are now generally available

{security-guide}/interactive-investigation-guides.html[Interactive investigation guides], which suggest steps for triaging, analyzing, and responding to potential security issues, are now generally available. You can configure an interactive investigation guide when you create a new rule or edit an existing one.
=== New prebuilt rule details flyout

The new prebuilt rule details flyout allows you to examine the details of a prebuilt rule before you {security-guide}/prebuilt-rules-management.html[install or update] it. You can access this flyout by clicking a rule name on the **Add Elastic Rules** page or the **Rule updates** table. The flyout displays the **About**, **Definition**, and **Schedule** sections, as shown on the rule details page. It also shows the setup and investigation guides for rules that have them.

=== Prebuilt rule updates

Check out the {security-guide}/prebuilt-rules-downloadable-updates.html[latest updates] to prebuilt rules. To download the latest updates, refer to {security-guide}/prebuilt-rules-management.html#update-prebuilt-rules[Update Elastic prebuilt rules].
=== Enhanced alert details flyout UI

[float]
=== Manage and filter alert tags
The redesigned alert details experience presents relevant context and insights while investigating an alert. Use the collapsed view to access summarized information, and then expand each section to open detailed views. Additional improvements include:

{security-guide}/alerts-ui-manage.html#apply-alert-tags[Alert tags], which you can add or remove for individual or multiple alerts, allow you to organize related alerts into categories that you can filter and group. If desired, you can also create custom tags by updating the feature's advanced setting.
* Previews of rule details and visualizations allow you to stay within the flyout when investigating the alert.
* Investigation guides are easier to find and read.
* Alert insights now include prevalence information on related hosts and users.

== Upload files to an endpoint with new `upload` response action
== Reputation service

The response console's new {security-guide}/response-actions.html#_upload[`upload` response action] allows you to upload a file to an endpoint enrolled with {elastic-defend}. You can combine this with the execute response action to upload and run scripts, or perform other mitigation on remote hosts.
When configuring {security-guide}/configure-endpoint-integration-policy.html#behavior-protection[malicious behavior protection] on an {elastic-defend} policy, you can now select to use **Reputation service**. This service identifies malicious activity and false positives, and enriches alerts using data from various sources, such as VirusTotal and telemetry. For example, reputation service can detect suspicious downloads of binaries with low or malicious reputation.

[float]
== Cloud Security enhancements
NOTE: Reputation service requires an active https://www.elastic.co/pricing[Platinum or Enterprise subscription] and is available on cloud deployments only.

[float]
=== New CloudFormation deployment for Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)

The {security-guide}/cspm-get-started.html#cspm-get-started[CloudFormation deployment for CSPM] provides a new, simpler deployment method for Cloud Security Posture Management, which you can use to monitor the security posture of your cloud assets. You can quickly set up this feature using {security-guide}/cspm-get-started.html#cspm-setup[AWS CloudFormation].

[role="screenshot"]
image::whats-new/images/8.9/CNVM-dashboard.png[CNVM dashboard]
This release automates the onboarding of every AWS Organization account to cloud security posture management (CSPM) — including existing and new accounts. With {security-guide}/cspm-get-started.html#cspm-setup[AWS CloudFormation], onboarding takes just a few clicks. This helps you quickly get a comprehensive view of the security posture of all your current and future AWS accounts.
