Analyze and Investigate
In the Analyze and Investigate workflow stage, you'll use Splunk User Behavior Analytics, Splunk Enterprise Security or Splunk Intelligence Management to reduce your mean-time-to-respond (MTTR). In order for security teams to analyze and investigate cyber attacks effectively, advanced tools like these Splunk products use the latest technologies to help investigate incidents. This is because cyber attackers are becoming smarter and launching attacks that can completely bypass substandard security protocols.
If you're a user of Splunk Cloud Platform or Splunk Enterprise, this content can still help you understand the strategies you should use to augment your analysis and investigation techniques. You can find use cases which apply to all Splunk products in the Lantern Security Use Case Library.
