Hi Team,  
I am new to ES and eager to acquire the ELK skill and expertise. I completed my ELK-7.6.1 deployment by following the below blog -

> **[How to use Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana to visualise logs in Python in...](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-use-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-to-visualise-logs-in-python-in-realtime-acaab281c9de/)**

> What is logging?
> Let’s say you are developing...

But, I found that there is no security restriction for this kind of deployment. So, I would like to explore the security options that are free to secure the ELK stack(All 3 stack) install from all kind of security issues.

Kindly help.

Thanks!

Hi @manikandanb87,

I would probably start with [https://www.elastic.co/blog/elasticsearch-security-configure-tls-ssl-pki-authentication](https://www.elastic.co/blog/elasticsearch-security-configure-tls-ssl-pki-authentication)

I believe you will find our docs a better reference: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.6/encrypting-communications.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.6/encrypting-communications.html). I know blog posts are easy to follow through and sound simpler but if what the blog author is doing doesn't match your use case 100%, then you would need to take a look in the docs either way.
