# Security solution initialization

`Security Solution Initialization API`

Use the initialization API to set up the assets Elastic Security needs to operate in a Kibana space.

A single request can run one or more initialization flows. Each flow provisions a specific set of assets (for example, list indices, security data views, prebuilt detection rules, endpoint protection, AI prompts, or detection rule monitoring assets). The response reports a per-flow result so you can tell which flows completed and which returned an error.
