Detect insider threats and zero-day attacks with UEBA
Enterprise Security uses machine learning and native user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) to identify anomalies and behavioral changes, so that your team can mitigate compromised accounts and assets.
Get SOC-wide automation and contextual enrichment
Empower each SOC member to leverage automation with security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) and automatic threat enrichment. Streamline investigations, use response plans to remove guesswork, and ensure consistent response.
Supercharge every analyst with AI-driven workflows
Equip every analyst with AI to minimize manual effort, accelerate investigations, and respond faster using natural language queries, guided workflows, instant summaries, and automated reports.
Deploy detections with confidence for faster mean time to detect
Detection Studio* provides a complete detection lifecycle experience to enable engineers to seamlessly test, deploy, and monitor detections. Measure and enhance your coverage that maps to the MITRE ATT&CK® Framework — so that your team can keep up with evolving TTPs and swiftly take action on detection gaps.

Frequently asked questions
ES is an integrated threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) platform that streamlines security workflows into a unified experience. It integrates capabilities like security information and event management (SIEM), agentic AI and SOAR for automation, UEBA, and AI/ML for improving detection accuracy and response speed.
By bringing these capabilities into a single interface, ES Editions reduces inefficiencies, eliminates tool silos, and ensures that SOC teams can detect, investigate, and respond to threats more effectively.
Switching to ES delivers immediate, tangible benefits to current Splunk customers. These include:
- Tool consolidation: Consolidating various security tools into a unified platform for TDIR streamlines workflows and significantly reduces the time and complexity teams face when managing incidents. By integrating disparate tools into a single interface, customers can eliminate context switching, reduce manual steps, and gain a centralized view of threats and alerts.
- Integrated machine-learning powered UEBA: Customers gain deeper insights into anomalous user and entity behavior to identify insider threats, compromised accounts, and advanced methods such as zero-day attacks.
- SOAR capabilities for the entire SOC: ES removes previous limitations on who can use security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) — making automation available to all team members — regardless of their role or seniority. This ensures that every SOC role can streamline workflows, enrich alerts, and execute response actions.
By adopting ES now, customers can reduce operational inefficiencies, scale their security operations, and take advantage of the latest AI-driven capabilities.
As for today, Enterprise Security Editions currently has two versions of editions that customers can choose from: Essentials and Premier. The ES Essentials Edition offers not only the well-known SIEM, but also AI Assistant for Security (AIA), and Detection Studio when available.
Splunk Enterprise Security Essentials is a security information and event management (SIEM) solution that has been a leader in the market for over a decade. Meanwhile, Splunk Enterprise Security Editions extends beyond the capabilities of solely SIEM. ES Premier is a new unified platform for threat detection, investigation, and response that brings together SIEM, UEBA, SOAR, and AI capabilities — all built into a single platform to address today’s rapidly evolving security landscape.
ES leverages agentic AI to boost security operations center (SOC) team efficiency by automating routine, low-complexity tasks through progressive autonomy. This approach allows SOC teams to gradually increase AI’s role — ranging from fully automated actions to AI suggestions requiring approval — while maintaining human oversight.
ES includes advanced features like malware reversing, which automatically breaks down malicious scripts line-by-line, extracts indicators of compromise, flags evasion techniques, and groups recurring behaviors to speed up analysis. Additionally, there is a triaging agent that evaluates, prioritizes, and explains alerts, helping SOC teams focus on the most critical threats.
With natural language commands, SOC teams can quickly build and customize automation playbooks and detection rules without needing advanced technical skills. By streamlining alert enrichment, triage, investigation, and malware analysis, ES reduces operational burden and enables SOC analysts to focus on high-impact security tasks.
