[[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 you’ve 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.
