[[pki-7.4]]
=== Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) authentication
Building off the success of feature controls in 7.2 and
support for Kerberos in 7.3, {kib} 7.4 adds support for another
highly requested authentication mechanism, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
With native support for PKI authentication, users are now able to log into
{kib} using X.509 client certificates and a two-way encryption system.
This provides new ways to authenticate {kib}--from general client certificate
authorization to identity card access. To start using PKI in production, check out
{kibana-ref}/kibana-authentication.html#pki-authentication[our documentation].

[[siem-gets-maps-7.4]]
=== SIEM gets maps
A geospatial perspective is especially useful for security
events data sets. In 7.4, SIEM embeds maps directly in
the Network interface to show common request paths between origin and
destination sources.
For more information, see the https://www.elastic.co/blog/elastic-siem-7-4-0-released[SIEM 7.4 release blog].

[[saved-queries-and-filters-7.4]]
=== Reusable saved queries and filters
Have you ever written a query in {kib} that youve wanted to reuse?
7.4 introduces saved queries, which
save the contents of the search bar query, filter pills, and time filter. You can now reuse your
saved query in dashboards, visualizations, maps, and saved
searches, and share them with other users.

[[snapshot-lifecycle-management-7.4]]
=== Snapshot lifecycle management
Adding to the *Snapshot and Restore* UI introduced in 7.2,
{kib} has a new view
for managing snapshot lifecycle policies. The *Policies* view provides an overview
of your snapshot status, a history of the
snapshots taken with the defined policies, and a wizard for creating a new policy.

[[outlier-detection-7.4]]
=== Outlier detection on transforms
experimental[] In 7.3, {kib} added an API that provided outlier detection analysis. In this release,
{kib} has a new view in Machine Learning where you can create,
manage, and view your outlier detection jobs and their results. Because the
results are just another index, you can create some insightful visualizations and
maps based on the outliers found in your entity-centric data.
