Splunk use cases
What can Splunk help me solve? Explore how your organization can become more resilient in a changing world.
Foundational Visibility
The path to digital resilience starts with being able to see across the entire digital footprint.
Data Optimization
Extract business value from all your data by consolidating silos across multiple tiers and organizational boundaries.
Security Monitoring
Centralize and analyze data, regardless of source or format, and gain end-to-end visibility
Incident Mangement
Use powerful security analytics to quickly investigate threats and combat security threats in seconds.
Asset Discovery & Management
Proactive risk mitigation through continuous asset discovery and compliance monitoring.
Compliance
Adhere to compliance requirements while reducing operational overhead, errors and costs with a data-centric approach.
Visualization & Reporting
Visualizations and reports provide full visibility of an organization’s environment, improve incident investigation and response capabilities, and help you ensure that your security posture is up-to-date.
Troubleshoot mission-critical apps and infrastructure
Gain visibility across siloed log data sources to quickly troubleshoot problems in mission-critical apps and infrastructure, detect and resolve incidents quickly to keep digital systems up and running.
Optimize data management
Give ITOps teams greater control over the volume and shape of their data pipelines. Accelerate investigations, boost system performance, and generate better insights from the data, all while optimizing costs.
Optimize cloud monitoring
Leverage real-time metrics alongside best-in-class Splunk logs for faster troubleshooting of your cloud-related performance issues to improve your MTTx and maximize value.
Optimize hybrid application performance
Help ITOps teams observe the performance and cost of Gen AI applications to ensure compliance, cost, and performance of Large Language Model (LLM) integrations.
Guided Insights
Once organizations can see across their environment, they need to be able to prioritize alerts to separate the signal from the noise.
Threat Hunting
Take proactive measures to uncover potential threats and raise awareness of unseen risks.
Anomaly Detection
Get alerts about abnormal fluctuations in your environment data with anomaly detection.
Risk-Based Alerting
Risk-based alerting provides teams with a unique opportunity to pivot resources from traditionally reactive functions to proactive functions in the SOC.
Leverage Cybersecurity Frameworks
Help guard against malicious threats by aligning to industry best practices or frameworks to maintain, monitor, and disable cybersecurity risks before they occur.
Threat Intelligence Enrichment
Detect network and host activity that might indicate an advanced threat. Collect, index, correlate and analyze all data and monitor activity patterns. Create complex searches with user-defined thresholds.
Reduce alert noise
End alert storms, find probable root cause faster and reduce MTTD and MTTR by grouping and prioritizing alerts from your existing tools
Debug problems in microservices
Tap into different types of microservices data with a tool designed to make debugging processes easier and faster.
Proactive Response
When teams know where to focus, they can resolve routine alerts quickly and get ahead of complex threats and issues -- preventing incidents from impacting customers.
Automate Threat Analysis
Identify and assess security threats without the need for extensive human intervention.
Automate Containment & Response Actions
Use automation to isolate threats, identify attacking hosts, gather evidence, and employ techniques such as sandboxes to understand the attack's behavior.
Orchestrate Response Workflows
Embrace orchestrated response workflows, facilitated by platforms like Splunk SOAR, empowering SOCs to streamline their operations.
Improve end-user experiences
Move beyond basic uptime to prioritize metrics that ensure exceptional end-user experiences with every deployment.
Detect and prioritize app security vulnerabilities
Quickly locate and highlight security issues within the context of an application.Prioritize based on business impact and accelerate response with remediation guidance to secure and reduce risk to production environments.
Unified Workflows
Advanced organizations standardize how teams respond to incidents and streamline workflows to make it easier to collaborate.
Automate Complete TDIR Life Cycle
Automating the TDIR life cycle means your teams can coordinate workflows across the detection, investigation, and response process into a single work surface.
Standardize SOC Processes using Response Templates
Using response templates within Splunk Enterprise Security allows SOC teams to provide standard response processes for unique threat scenarios or prevalent attack patterns.
Automate Recovery Playbooks
Automated recovery playbooks streamline the incident response process, allowing security analysts to address and remediate security incidents swiftly.
Federate Access & Analytics
Extend your threat detection, investigation, and response to data residing across data repositories. This removes blind spots in security coverage that can hinder your ability to detect advanced threats.
Align IT and business with service monitoring
Analyze your service health alongside critical IT assets, entities, KPIs and third-party applications — from a single view.
Standardize observability practices across teams
Gain more control over monitoring costs and improve developer productivity with standardized internal developer tooling.
