Security Use Cases
Splunk security use cases provide significant value by enabling organizations to enhance their security posture through comprehensive threat detection, investigation, and response capabilities. They offer automated mapping of data and security detections to popular frameworks and streamline compliance tasks with extensive dashboards for continuous monitoring and audit reporting. The Splunk platform supports rapid incident investigation and response, reducing mean time to detect and mean time to respond, while AI and machine learning enhance anomaly detection, insider threat spotting, and threat hunting. Additionally, the unified work surface integrates automation playbooks, enabling analysts to automate workflows and collaborate efficiently within a single interface. This comprehensive approach helps reduce manual processing, improve alert fidelity, and empower security teams to proactively manage risks and respond to threats effectively.
Explore the categories below for actionable guidance to help you deploy these use cases in your organization.
Accelerate Actionable Insights with Threat Investigation
Threat investigation focuses on understanding the scope and impact of detected threats to determine appropriate responses, despite challenges like data overload and manual processes.
Deploy Continuous Assets and Identities Discovery
Splunk automates the collection and analysis of IT environment data to identify all connected devices, applications, and services, ensuring accurate inventory and strengthening security.
Mitigate Threats With Security Monitoring
Real-time security monitoring helps security operations teams gain comprehensive visibility across all data sources to detect and respond to threats efficiently.
Protect Against Insider Threat With Anomaly Detection
Splunk mitigates insider threat risks by real-time monitoring of user behavior and system activity, using machine learning to detect anomalies and trigger automated responses.
Reduce Risk with Advanced Threat Detection
Effective threat detection is critical as security teams face increasing data volumes and complex, stealthy attacks requiring rapid response to minimize damage.
Respond to Incidents with Automation and Orchestration
Splunk automation streamlines cybersecurity by using machine learning and playbooks to detect anomalies, trigger alerts, and execute predefined actions, reducing response time and human error.
Simplify Compliance with Real-Time Monitoring and Reporting
Splunk aids compliance by collecting, analyzing, and retaining machine data for visibility into user activity and security events, automating audit reporting, and detecting policy violations.
Uncover Hidden Threats with Proactive Threat Hunting
Threat hunting is a proactive security practice where defenders actively search for malicious activity that has evaded existing defenses, assuming threats may already be present.
