Security and Compliance
Provide Situational Awareness and Affordable Compliance
Today's IT infrastructures are becoming increasingly difficult to defend with a mix of external attacks, malicious insiders and application-level vulnerabilities taking center stage. No longer is the norm of monitoring a small subset of IT infrastructure data enough to ensure a strong security posture. Data from across the entire IT infrastructure has become security-relevant. To provide defense-in-depth, security teams must have insight into what's happening within their virtual and non-virtual infrastructure: applications, networks, operations and even custom applications.
To add to the data challenge, security teams have to deal with an overwhelming number of false alarms and attacks that are difficult to detect. Responding to alarms remains a highly manual, slow and tedious process: dozens of consoles for the many silos of network devices and security systems. Even SIEMs, the self-proclaimed nirvana for enterprise security, lack the critical information needed for incident response and investigations. All of this while the clock is ticking.
At the same time, compliance mandates such as PCI, SOX, HIPAA and FISMA require businesses to protect, track, and control access to and usage of sensitive information. Each requirement has it its own set of complicated, costly, and time consuming demands. Addressing these strains IT resources and creates redundant processes and expenditures within an organization.
Splunk solves these challenges in one place. By turning all of an organization's IT data into security-relevant information, Splunk radically cut incident investigation times by searching all security-relevant data in seconds, for all types of security risks including complex fraud and insider threat issues.
