  • Elasticsearch offers a FIPS 140-2 compliant mode and as such can run in a FIPS 140-2 configured JVM.
  • Kibana offers a FIPS 140-2 compliant mode and as such can run in a Node.js environment configured with a FIPS 140-2 compliant OpenSSL3 provider.
  • Some Ingest tools, including Elastic Agent, Fleet, Filebeat, Metricbeat, and APM Server, are available as FIPS compatible binaries and can be configured to use FIPS 140-2 compliant cryptography.
