Analytics-Driven Security
Security incidents occur without warning and can go undetected long enough to pose a serious threat to your business. Investigations can prove challenging and time consuming—by the time your security team is aware of an issue, there is a good chance that your organization has already been negatively impacted.
By providing analytics-driven insights from any machine data, regardless of source or format, Splunk enables security analysts to quickly identify root cause and make informed decisions on how to remediate an issue.
- Monitor, detect, analyze, and confirm higher-priority threats
- Shorten investigation cycles with visual analysis, graphical representation of thresholds, alarms, indicators and trends
- Respond quickly and appropriately in the event of a security breach
- Share critical security intelligence across teams from a single platform
- Be proactive in dealing with threats and maintaining security posture

Analytics-Driven Security
The Splunk Platform streamlines the security analytics cycle and provides a range of analytical capabilities to deliver the right information at the right time to the right teams with the context they need to detect and respond to an incident quickly.
Security Analytics Cycle
The security analytics cycle is the continual process of planning, implementing, managing, testing and reporting. Analysts work from a common data set and platform to share investigation notes, IOCs and automate where possible.
Data Exploration
Splunk enables you to capture, index and navigate any machine data without prior knowledge of the data or incident. This improves human insights and speeds up data exploration by keeping track of searches and actions without the need to open multiple tabs or track in separate tools.
Real-Time Correlations
Real-time correlations and analytics help determine if multiple events are related to the same incident. Looking at all the data and performing analytics allows security teams to get a better view of their entire infrastructure and take steps to reduce risk.
Alerts and Reports
Alerts and reports of an incident can ensure full visibility and knowledge transfer to different teams throughout an organization to make more informed decisions, giving your security team a better chance to stop an attack and mitigate risk.
Information Sharing
Information sharing builds end-to-end visibility across infrastructures and teams and enables better decision making based on real-time knowledge about what is happening in your environment. Once a foundation is set, it is easier to focus on performance, scale and management.
