How Splunk Is Parsing Machine Logs With Machine Learning On NVIDIA's Triton and Morpheus
Large amounts of data no longer reside within siloed applications. A global workforce, combined with the growing need for data, is driving an increasingly distributed and complex attack surface that needs to be protected. Sophisticated cyberattacks can easily hide inside this data-centric world, making traditional perimeter-only security models obsolete.

Endpoint Security Data Collection Strategy: Splunk UF, uberAgent, or Sysmon?
Many threats originate from the endpoint and detecting them requires insights into what happens on the endpoint. In this post we look at different endpoint activity data sources, comparing the benefits and capabilities of Splunk Universal Forwarder with vast limits uberAgent and homegrown solutions.
Department of Defense Designates Splunk a Core Enterprise Technology
Last month, as part of its continuing efforts to acquire and secure advanced technology for cyberdefense, data analytics and other mission critical operations, the Department of Defense (DOD) designated the Splunk Enterprise Software Initiative (ESI) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) as a Core Enterprise Technology Agreement (CETA). Of the 100+ OEMs that have been awarded a DOD ESI BPA, only seven have been selected for CETA designation by the DOD.
Monitor and Troubleshoot VMware Infrastructure with Splunk
Splunkbase apps are very popular among IT administrators and provide out-of-the-box content for different infrastructure types such as Windows, Unix, VMware, and AWS. As customers expanded their need for more infrastructure types, they historically had to manage and leverage multiple apps.
Splunk IT Essentials Work: A Centralized App for All Things ITOps
Splunkbase apps are very popular among IT administrators and provide out-of-the-box content for different infrastructure types such as Windows, Unix, VMware, and AWS. As customers expanded their need for more infrastructure types, they historically had to manage and leverage multiple apps. We have now introduced IT Essentials Work, one centralized app that provides a simpler way to monitor and troubleshoot across different infrastructure types without having to install and maintain different apps.
Splunk SOAR Playbooks: Azure New User Census
Hafnium is the latest cyberattack that utilizes a number of post-exploitation tools after gaining access to Exchange servers through a zero-day exploit. One of their persistence methods was creating new user accounts in the domain, giving them the ability to log back into the network using normal authentication rather than use a web shell or continue to re-exploit the vulnerability (which has since been patched). Learn how you can use Splunk Phantom to automate account monitoring to ensure that threat actors are not exploiting vulnerabilities to access sensitive information through authenticated accounts.
