# Security
77+
78+
This section covers how to secure your Elastic environment. Learn how to implement TLS encryption, network security controls, and data protection measures.
79+
80+
## Security overview
81+
82+
An Elastic implementation comprises many moving parts: {es} nodes forming the cluster, {kib} instances, additional stack components such as Logstash and Beats, and various clients and integrations communicating with your deployment.
83+
84+
To keep your data secured, Elastic offers comprehensive security features that:
85+
- Prevent unauthorized access to your deployment
86+
- Encrypt communications between components
87+
- Protect data at rest
88+
- Secure sensitive settings and saved objects
89+
90+
Security requirements and capabilities vary by deployment. Features may be managed automatically by Elastic, require configuration, or must be fully self-managed. Refer to [Security by deployment type](#security-by-deployment-type) for details.
91+
92+
::::{tip}
93+
See the [Deployment overview](/deploy-manage/deploy.md) to understand your options for deploying Elastic.
94+
::::
95+
96+
### Security by deployment type
97+
98+
Security features have one of these statuses across deployment types:
99+
100+
| Status | Description |
101+
|--------|-------------|
102+

103+
| **Configurable** | Built-in feature that needs your configuration (like IP filters or passwords) |
104+
| **Self-managed** | Infrastructure-level security you implement and maintain |
105+
| **N/A** | Not available for this deployment type |
106+
107+
#### Communication security

### Using this documentation
138+
139+
Throughout this security documentation, you'll see deployment type indicators that show which content applies to specific deployment types. Each section clearly identifies which deployment types it applies to, and deployment-specific details are separated within each topic.
140+
141+
To get the most relevant information for your environment, focus on sections tagged with your deployment type and look for subsections specifically addressing your deployment model.
142+
143+
## Security topics
144+
145+
This security documentation is organized into four main areas:
146+
147+
% TODO: Add links to the sections below
148+
149+
### 1. Secure your hosting environment
150+
151+
The security of your hosting environment forms the foundation of your overall security posture. This section covers environment-specific security controls:
152+
153+
- **Elastic Cloud Hosted and Serverless**: Organization-level SSO, role-based access control, and cloud API keys
154+
- **Elastic Cloud Enterprise**: TLS certificates, role-based access control, and cloud API keys
155+
- **Self-managed environments**: TLS certificates, HTTPS configuration
156+
157+
### 2. Secure your deployments and clusters
158+
159+
Protect your deployments with features available across all deployment types:
160+
161+
- **Authentication and access controls**: User management, API keys, authentication protocols, and traffic filtering
162+
- **Data protection**: Encryption, sensitive settings, and document-level security
163+
- **Monitoring and compliance**: Audit logging and security best practices
164+
165+
### 3. Secure your user accounts
166+
167+
Individual user security helps prevent unauthorized access:
168+
169+
- **Multi-factor authentication**: Add an extra layer of security to your login process
170+
171+
### 4. Secure your clients and integrations
172+
173+
Ensure secure communication between your applications and Elastic:
174+
175+
- **Client security**: Best practices for securely connecting applications to {es}
176+
- **Integration security**: Secure configuration for Beats, Logstash, and other integrations
