We are honored to share that Splunk has once again been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) — our eleventh consecutive placement. Even more meaningful to us, Splunk was placed highest in Ability to Execute in our opinion, underscoring our relentless commitment to helping security teams stay ahead in today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape. This recognition is not just about Splunk. It’s about you—our customers—who have been on this journey with us from the very beginning.
In the mid-2010s, we launched Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) with a bold vision: to give security teams a SIEM that could handle any data, at any scale, and make it immediately useful for security. That vision quickly grew into reality—reshaping how SOCs detect, investigate, and respond to threats.
From those early days of schema-on-the-fly SIEM to today’s AI-powered SecOps platform, the journey has always been a collaborative one. Each milestone was shaped by your real-world challenges—managing explosive data growth, defending against increasingly sophisticated threats, overcoming analyst shortages, and reducing alert fatigue.
Your feedback, your trust, and your partnership have pushed us to evolve faster and smarter. Together, we’ve built not only a product, but a movement—driving the future of security operations into the agentic AI era.
At .conf25, we unveiled the next chapter of Splunk Enterprise Security: a unified, AI-powered SecOps platform that simplifies the analyst experience and delivers faster, smarter outcomes across the entire threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) workflow. Here are just a few of the innovations we’ve recently introduced—shaped directly by customer feedback:
Splunk delivers AI that works the way your SOC works—purpose-built AI embedded across the entire analyst workflow, rooted in operational reality, and measurable outcomes. Highlights include:
None of this would be possible without you—our customers, partners, and community. Your trust, collaboration, and feedback have fueled every milestone on this journey.
Being recognized as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for 11 years in a row is not just a Splunk achievement—it’s a shared success story with every security team that chose to build resilience with us.
As we look ahead to the agentic AI era, our focus remains the same: empowering SOCs to end analyst fatigue, deliver faster outcomes, reduce risk, and build stronger resilience—together.
From all of us at Splunk: thank you. Here’s to the next chapter of our journey.
