Organizations to Demonstrate New
Capabilities at .conf2016
.conf2016 – Splunk Inc. (NASDAQ: SPLK), provider of the
leading software platform for real-time Operational Intelligence,
today announced the expansion of the Adaptive Response Initiative.
The initiative, announced earlier this year, brings together
leading vendors, leveraging end-to-end context and automated
response to help organizations better combat advanced attacks
through a unified defense. Acalvio, Anomali, Cisco, CrowdStrike,
DomainTools, ForeScout, Okta, Proofpoint, Qualys, Recorded Future
and Symantec have now joined the Splunk initiative, bringing
together many new capabilities to enterprise security.
“More and more organizations are embracing Splunk® Enterprise
Security (ES) as the nerve center of their Security Operations
Center (SOC). It is important that we enable collaborative
architectures so our customers can extend analytics-driven
decisions across a multi-vendor security technology stack,” said
Haiyan Song, senior vice president of security markets, Splunk.
“Splunk welcomes the new participants of the Adaptive Response
Initiative and is excited to deliver the new framework in Splunk
ES. This helps the security industry to work closer together while
helping organizations to leverage intelligence and automation to
better defend against attacks.”
Advanced cyber adversaries are continuously leveraging new
attack methods that span multiple domains, launching devastating
attacks that often leave enterprises vulnerable. Despite
advancements in security technologies, most solutions are not
designed to work together out-of-the-box, making it challenging to
coordinate a response. By leveraging adaptive security
architecture, the Adaptive Response framework in Splunk ES provides
end-to-end context and automated response across twenty of the
world’s leading security technologies – enabling customers to
quickly detect threats and execute response.
“The pace and variety of today’s cyberattacks combined with a
wide range of security tools in the typical enterprise make for a
daunting challenge for security professionals. For real visibility
and a truly actionable approach, enterprises demand a level of
multi-vendor integration across silos and tools that goes beyond
the efforts of the past,” said Scott Crawford, research director of
Information Security, 451 Research. “The Adaptive Response
capabilities in Splunk Enterprise Security provide the centerpiece
of a flexible, ecosystem-driven approach to combat advanced attacks
through a more coordinated, automated response.”
New Participants Respond to Adaptive Response
Initiative:
- Acalvio: “Splunk and
Acalvio share a common strategic and technical vision - to
help customers get precise and timely detection, and automated
resolution of threats,” said Ram Varadarajan, co-founder
and CEO, Acalvio Technologies. “Our patented Deception
2.0 technology, when integrated with the Adaptive
Response framework in Splunk ES, delivers a
compelling solution to help organizations detect
malicious activity quickly. We are thrilled to be
working with Splunk to provide this strategically
important defense technique in an efficient and
cost-effective way.”
- Anomali: “Anomali is committed
to making threat intelligence actionable across customer
environments. Our joint customers look to integrate threat
intelligence into Splunk ES for immediate and seamless access to a
wealth of information on indicators of compromise,” said Asad
Baheri, director of business development, Anomali. “Splunk’s
Adaptive Response Initiative is an ideal way to deliver this
high-value information to enable customers to investigate and
respond to security threats efficiently and comprehensively.”
- Cisco: “Cisco is pleased to
expand our collaboration with Splunk by coupling our integrated
threat defense portfolio with Adaptive Response,” said Jeff
Samuels, vice president of security marketing, Cisco. “To
defend against aggressive adversaries we must streamline
remediation by making security simple, open and
automated. By integrating Adaptive Response with Cisco’s open
platforms such as ISE (Identity Services Engine) and Cisco Umbrella
Investigate, mutual customers have the tools to help respond
to threats throughout the network and in the cloud in real
time, enabling protection everywhere.”
- Crowdstrike: “Organizations are
hungry for actionable intelligence and information that can help
stop breaches from advanced attackers,” said Upesh Patel, vice
president of business development, CrowdStrike. “We are
pleased to join Splunk’s Adaptive Response Initiative to help
defend against cyberattacks faster than ever. Integration of
CrowdStrike Falcon with Splunk ES within the Adaptive Response
framework helps provide our mutual customers the visibility and
notification to respond to today’s rapidly evolving threats.”
- DomainTools: “Many organizations
struggle to analyze their DNS and proxy logs. Adaptive Response
changes that,” said Tim Chen, CEO, DomainTools. “By combining data
from DomainTools’ proprietary reputation scoring engine into Splunk
ES, organizations can automate alerts and take immediate action to
block threats they found with DomainTools data. We’re very pleased
to join forces with Splunk to help provide this mutual value to our
customers.”
- ForeScout: “ForeScout is excited
to join the Adaptive Response Initiative and help limit data
breaches through better validated and automated response to threats
such as anomalous access and compromised devices,” said Rob Greer,
chief marketing officer and senior vice president of products,
ForeScout. “ForeScout CounterACT and Splunk ES together provide
in-depth endpoint and network intelligence in a manner that can
help prioritize and mitigate associated incidents and threats with
automated response capabilities.”
- Okta: “At Okta, we know that
automation is essential for CXOs as data and services multiply
across the enterprise,” said Chuck Fontana, vice president of
corporate and business development, Okta. “Joining Splunk in the
Adaptive Response Initiative fits into our mission to empower
enterprises to work securely. The combination of Splunk ES and Okta
enables our customers to better strengthen their security posture
by utilizing identity management and access data within a broader
analytics-driven approach to security.”
- Proofpoint: “At Proofpoint,
we’re big believers in the value of both strong ecosystem
integrations and orchestrating rapid responses to security
incidents,” said Ryan Kalember, senior vice president of
cybersecurity strategy, Proofpoint. “We’re excited to build on our
existing threat intelligence integrations with Splunk solutions via
the Adaptive Response Initiative to enable additional hunting and
response use cases in Splunk ES.”
- Qualys: “Qualys is happy to
provide a vulnerability prioritization option via Splunk’s Adaptive
Response Initiative,” said Jeffrey Leggett, director, cloud
services, API and integrations, Qualys. “By automatically tagging
high severity vulnerabilities in the Qualys Web Application
Security App for Splunk, remediation teams can more quickly focus
on vulnerabilities that need immediate attention.”
- Recorded Future: “Security teams
want better, faster and easier ways to defend their organizations
from attack. Through Splunk's Adaptive Response Initiative,
Recorded Future can automatically enrich IOCs with real-time threat
intelligence collected across the entire web and analyzed in Splunk
ES,” said Christopher Ahlberg, co-founder and CEO, Recorded Future.
“As a result, analysts are more productive and empowered to make
decisions faster. We're excited to be a part of this
initiative and can't wait to deliver this to our mutual
customers.”
- Symantec: “We are excited to be
working with Splunk in this critical area of cybersecurity,” said
Peter Doggart, vice president of Blue Coat business development,
Symantec. “Securing a new world of devices, networks and
applications is core to the Symantec mission, and doing so with
maximum efficiency will be important as we see a widening skills
shortage in IT security. Splunk Adaptive Response has the power to
help reduce workload on customer SOC teams by speeding up decision
making and associated actions through automation.”
Previously announced and founding organizations in the Adaptive
Response Initiative include Carbon Black, CyberArk, Fortinet, Palo
