Abstract
By now you have ELK Stack configured and running. Nevertheless, we still haven’t addressed the most important part: security. When you deploy ELK Stack to a production environment, you cannot let the world have access to your data. You need a system and a set of restrictions for accessing your data. Today, when hackers, script kiddies, and bots are scouring the Internet for private corporate information, you must make sure that your data is secure and know just who is accessing that data and what they are retrieving.
