“We are honored that Splunk ES earned this prestigious recognition as the Best Enterprise Security Solution by SC Media. The award is further testament that organizations around the world are hungry for analytics-driven security solutions that can detect and respond to threats while enabling real-time decision-making across security operations,” said Haiyan Song, senior vice president of security markets, Splunk. “As advanced cyber adversaries find new avenues to penetrate valuable data, it’s crucial that businesses can visualize and respond to threats faster than ever – which is why so many organizations rely on Splunk to help protect their data.”

Winners in the Excellence Award category of the SC Awards were selected by a panel of IT security experts from both the private and public sector. During the judging process, each finalist went through a rigorous evaluation that included in-depth analysis, analyst reports and/or product reviews. After a thorough and comprehensive analysis of each finalist's strengths, Splunk’s Enterprise Security Solution was chosen as the winner of an Excellence Award in the Best Enterprise Security Solution category.
