Mission Control Onboarding: The Mission Control Onboarding team creates a dynamic and cloud technology platform that enables customers to quickly detect, triage, and respond to incidents from the Mission Control UI. The team aims to provide a unified experience across Splunk Cloud, SOAR, Enterprise Security, and Intelligence Management. To achieve this goal, the team is building an ingestion pipeline, implementing role-based access controls, provisioning, and other features to streamline the incident management process.
