I have recently been heads-down working on a large Splunk Cloud PoV (20+ TB / day), and the customer asked if Splunk supported their forwarding technology called Vector. I had never heard of Vector, so I took a note to do further research. I couldn’t find anyone else at Splunk who had seen this technology before, so I embarked on a little research project. What I discovered surprised me—Vector is actually fairly powerful, and cool!

One question I get asked frequently is “how can I get deeper insight and audit correlation searches running inside my environment?” The first step in understanding our correlation searches, is creating a baseline of what is expected and identify what is currently enabled and running today. Content Management inside Splunk Enterprise Security is a quick way to filter on what is enabled (and it’s built into the UI and works out of the box).

At Splunk, we’re proud to employ some of the top security analysts in the industry. On any given day, they’re investigating security incidents, triaging alerts and identifying threats so our systems and data — as well as those of our customers — remain secure.

Many of our customers use Java to create amazing applications, it’s an application on a single VM, or based on microservices running on Kubernetes. Naturally, we made it simple to understand the performance of Java-based applications using SignalFx Microservices APM.

Amazon Web Services provides its users with the ability to create temporary credentials via the use of AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS). These temporary credentials work pretty much in the same manner like permanent credentials created from AWS IAM Service. There are however two differences.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on our working lives. Companies have adopted by transforming their workforce to work remotely through video conferencing software. Cisco’s Webex Meetings, one of the most popular video conference softwares, plays a critical role in helping employees stay connected, enhance collaboration and drive productivity.

Military strategists will often tell you that the best way to win a conflict is to prevent it by projecting an unmistakable posture of strength, preparedness and resolve. As history has shown in the seven decades since the Second World War, deterrence doesn’t come cheap, certainly not in the era of modern, technology-enabled warfare. Yet it is still far less costly in lives, dollars, and equipment than letting a hostile situation escalate out of hand.
