Uncover Hidden Threats with Proactive Threat Hunting
How Splunk helps with this use case
Splunk Enterprise Security and Splunk Cloud Platform provide the data foundation and tools for proactive threat hunting. This enables security teams to uncover malicious activity that has evaded existing defenses, significantly reducing dwell time and preventing major security incidents.
Through effective threat hunting, Splunk software helps identify gaps in existing security controls and detection rules. By leveraging Splunk User Behavior Analytics (UBA) and flexible search capabilities, organizations improve their overall security posture and build a more resilient defense against evolving threats.
Finally, Splunk software empowers security teams to gain deeper insights into attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) relevant to their specific environment. This enhanced understanding of the threat landscape, supported by Splunk SOAR for rapid response, allows for more informed strategic security decisions and proactive defense.
