Info Security Products Guide Names Splunk Winner of the 2007 Global Excellence Awards for IT Search
Splunk Gains the Highest Trust of Customers for Protecting Digital Assets
SAN FRANCISCO - April 25, 2007 - Splunk, creators of the original IT Search engine, announced today that Info Security Products Guide has named Splunk 2.2 the winner of the 2007 Global Excellence in IT Search Customer Trust Award.
The Info Security Products Guide Award recognizes and honors excellence in all areas of information security. More than 18,000 end-users and prospective customers worldwide were invited to vote for the products that they trust the most when it comes to protecting their digital resources.
A new concept for information security, IT Search includes technologies such as Splunk that crawls through a modern IT infrastructure and indexes all data logged by applications, servers and network devices across the data center. IT Search is critical to:
- Availability to keep services and applications running
- Security to detect and investigate incidents
- Compliance to meet new and existing mandate requirements
Security analysts, IT operations, compliance staff, auditors and senior management can search, navigate, alert and report on logs and IT data from any application, server or network device in real time. Compliance forces IT data demands but creates new barriers to accessing critical data. Splunk meets the full range of compliance demands on IT data for CoBIT, COSO, FFIEC, FISMA, GLBA, HIPAA, ISO17799/BS7799, NISPOM, PCI, and SOX without consuming precious IT resources.
"Security products have continued to evolve rapidly in the past few years and advanced technologies are now making it possible to take a pro-active approach to most security scenarios," said Rake Narang, Managing Editor of Info Security Products Guide. "End-users or consumers of these products have to deal with real-live threats which may differ vastly from lab simulated environments. These users build a strong "Customer Trust" for products that best meet their requirements and therefore also play a key role in the security evolution cycle."
This award is one of a number of recent industry accolades for Splunk. Splunk won Government Computer News' Best of FOSE Award for Network Administration in April. In February, Splunk received the Datamation Product of the Year Award for Compliance Software. Splunk also won the InfoWorld 100 Award for cutting-edge troubleshooting implementation and the Computerworld Horizon Award in 2006. In addition, Splunk was named one of Gartner's "Cool Vendors in IT Operations Management."
