Box and Splunk to Power Automated Threat Detection and Response in the Enterprise
October 03 2019 - 12:00PM
Business Wire
Box, Inc. (NYSE: BOX) a leader in Cloud Content
Management, today announced a commitment to build a new integration
between Splunk and Box Shield, Box’s advanced set of content
security controls and intelligent threat detection capabilities.
Built natively into Box, Box Shield helps prevent data leakage,
detects potential access misuse, and proactively identifies
threats.
"As organizations move sensitive content to the cloud, the need
to protect against data leakage from negligent user behavior and
malicious insider threats is greater than ever,” says Jeetu Patel,
Chief Product Officer at Box. “Box Shield helps make working in the
cloud both secure and frictionless, providing simple guardrails for
collaboration on sensitive content and identifying potential
threats or misuse in real time. Splunk’s world-class data and
analytics capabilities are a perfect match for Box Shield, and will
help our joint customers mitigate risk, reduce threat response
times, and improve compliance."
“Some of the biggest challenges that companies face today are
the growing number of security solutions and the volume of attacks
across an expanding surface area,” said Tim Tully, SVP and CTO,
Splunk. “With the intended Splunk for Box Shield integration,
security teams should be able to enjoy the benefits of Splunk’s
cloud-based monitoring and the ability to investigate several
security incidents such as data exfiltration, insider threats and
anomalous behavior. To defend against increasingly sophisticated
risks, organizations need a best-in-class security stack that works
well together.”
The Box and Splunk integration is expected to help
enterprises:
- More efficiently monitor Box Shield alerts: Using the
pre-built Splunk app, security teams may be able to streamline the
consumption of Box Shield alerts in addition to all cloud and
on-premise applications.
- Gain deeper visibility into content access patterns: Box
Shield prevents and identifies early signs of potential leakage of
sensitive content. While reviewing Box Shield alerts in Splunk,
security analysts may be able to launch directly into Box Shield to
gain deeper insights into user behavior within Box.
- Streamline response to content access anomalies:
Security analysts can start from a Box Shield alert and pivot into
user behavior across other applications to identify potential
insider threats. With Splunk® Phantom, security teams may be able
to automate response actions directly in Box.
Availability
Box Shield is generally available this month. The Splunk for Box
Shield integration is targeted to be available in the near
future.
