Keep the world’s money moving with AI-powered resilience

Splunk helps financial services institutions build digital resilience by unifying data across security, observability, fraud, compliance, payments, and customer-facing systems. It brings together machine data from applications, infrastructure, transaction logs, APIs, security events, and third-party integrations so teams can see what is happening across complex financial environments in real time. Cisco Data Fabric, powered by the Splunk platform, federates and correlates that data where it lives, without the cost of moving all of it into one repository.

With the Splunk digital resilience platform, banks, insurers, payments providers, and other financial services institutions can detect threats faster, investigate suspicious activity, monitor service health, and respond to incidents before they disrupt customers or operations. Splunk helps financial services institutions to:

Simplify compliance visibility

Correlate audit, access, transaction, and infrastructure data to monitor controls, identify gaps, and support faster regulatory reporting.

Detect advanced threats faster

Unify security signals across users, endpoints, the cloud, applications, and financial systems to uncover suspicious activity faster and with greater context.

Strengthen fraud prevention

Analyze transaction behavior, payments activity, account access, and customer patterns to detect fraud signals before they impact revenue or trust.

Predict incidents with AIOps

Use AI-driven insights to spot service degradation, payment delays, and operational anomalies before they disrupt critical financial services.

Monitor application performance

Track the health of banking apps, payments platforms, APIs, and customer-facing services to reduce latency, downtime, and digital friction.

Reduce alert noise

Prioritize the highest-risk alerts with event correlation, automation, and risk-based context so teams can respond faster and more confidently.

Govern AI and agent activity

Monitor agent behavior, evidence agent decisions, and attribute AI spend so supervisors can see how autonomous systems act inside regulated processes.

Splunk helps financial services institutions reduce complexity by bringing security, observability, fraud, compliance, and operations data into one connected view. Instead of relying on fragmented tools and manual handoffs, teams can use AI and machine learning (ML) to detect anomalies, prioritize risk, investigate issues, and respond faster across complex financial environments.

For banks, insurers, payments providers, and capital markets firms, this can mean identifying unusual transaction behavior, detecting account takeover signals, surfacing payment failures, spotting service degradation, and documenting compliance activity with greater speed and context. With Splunk you can:

Reduce tool sprawl and manual effort

Splunk helps teams unify data across applications, infrastructure, APIs, payment rails, user activity, and security controls so they can investigate from one shared source of truth.

Prioritize risk with AI-driven insights

AI helps identify patterns and deviations that may signal fraud, cyber threats, operational issues, or compliance gaps, reducing noise and helping teams focus on what matters most.

Lower costs through faster response

By accelerating threat detection, investigation, and remediation, Splunk helps reduce downtime, alert fatigue, manual reconciliation, and incident-related costs while strengthening audit-ready resilience. Splunk also gives full visibility and attribution into AI token consumption, so AI spend can be governed like any other operational cost.

Splunk helps financial services institutions deliver better open banking experiences by turning complex business and technical data into real-time operational insight. With Splunk, teams can operationalize open banking data across APIs, payments systems, mobile apps, third-party integrations, cloud environments, and legacy infrastructure - gaining visibility across the entire open banking lifecycle, across hybrid, cloud, and on-prem environments.

Monitor open banking performance with Splunk Observability Cloud

Splunk Observability Cloud helps teams monitor the performance and reliability of the digital services that power open banking. By tracking API response times, transaction volumes, payment failures, latency, service dependencies, and customer-impacting issues, teams can quickly understand where problems are happening and why. This helps reduce downtime, improve transaction speed, and deliver more seamless digital experiences.

Move from reactive troubleshooting to predictive operations

Splunk helps financial services institutions anticipate issues before they impact operations, replacing reactive troubleshooting with predictive insights. With AI-powered detection, full-fidelity data, and real-time analytics, teams can identify anomalies, anticipate service degradation, and resolve issues before they disrupt customers, partners, or payment flows.

Strengthen security and fraud visibility across open banking with Splunk Enterprise Security

For security and fraud teams, Splunk brings together data across online banking, mobile applications, APIs, and third-party connections to help detect suspicious behavior in context. That unified visibility helps financial institutions strengthen open banking security, reduce operational risk, and build more resilient customer experiences.

The recent IDC Business Value White Paper: Splunk for Financial Services found that Splunk by Cisco helps financial services institutions achieve a remarkable 387% ROI in three years and $15.3 million in average annual benefits - all while helping organizations sharpen threat detection, streamline operations, and ensure compliance. The IDC report also found that customers can boost security operations efficiency by 50%, identify 86% more threats, improve DevOps productivity by 18%, and reduce application testing time by 19%.
