Hi,

I’m looking for advice on setting up **Elastic Security** for real-time threat detection and monitoring. Specifically, I’d like to know:

1. What are the essential components needed for a solid infrastructure?
2. Are there recommended best practices for using Elastic Security in a scalable and efficient way, especially for large volumes of log data?
3. How can I best use features like threat detection, alerting, and machine learning in this setup?

Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.
