Splunk Inc. (NASDAQ: SPLK), first in delivering ‘aha’ moments
from machine data, today announced it has been named a Leader in
Gartner’s 2017 Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event
Management[1] for the fifth straight year. For the report, Gartner
evaluated Splunk’s security offerings, including Splunk®
Enterprise, Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) and Splunk User
Behavior Analytics (UBA). Go to the Splunk website to view a

Information and Event Management.
“Security and risk management leaders (SIEM) are implementing
and expanding SIEM to improve early targeted attack detection and
response. Advanced users seek SIEM with advanced profiling,
analytics and response features,” wrote Gartner report authors
Kelly M. Kavanagh, Principal Research Analyst, and Toby Bussa,
Research Director.
According to Gartner’s 2017 report, “The security information
and event management (SIEM) market is defined by the customer's
need to analyze event data in real time for the early detection of
targeted attacks and data breaches, and to collect, store, analyze,
investigate and report on event data for incident response,
forensics and regulatory compliance.” Splunk expanded its security
portfolio offerings across machine learning, advanced behavior
analytics and incident response this year.
“Splunk’s vision of analytics-driven security forms the
foundation of our security solutions, including SIEM and UBA. This
approach has become widely adopted in the industry as the scope and
impact of emerging cyberthreats continue to rise,” said Haiyan
Song, senior vice president and general manager of Security
Markets, Splunk. “Splunk is honored to be recognized as a Leader in
Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event
Management for the fifth year in a row as we strive to help our
customers turn security data into insights and actionable
intelligence. We believe this recognition identifies our success
and we look forward to building on it as we bring innovative
solutions for advanced threat detection, investigation and incident
response to Splunk’s security portfolio.”
With the rise of cyberthreats and the shortage of industry
skills to combat such threats, Splunk’s security solutions are
bridging the gap with data science. Splunk’s security analytics
platform and integrated solutions are proving to add true value for
organizations of all sizes:
- Aflac is using Splunk ES at the center
of its Threat Intelligence System, giving the insurance giant the
ability to make sense of the data it receives from over 20
different threat intelligence platforms. Since implementing Splunk
ES, Aflac reports that it has blocked over two million threats and
automated threat hunting, giving the company valuable time back to
focus on proactive security strategy.
- Heartland Jiffy Lube is using Splunk ES
and Splunk UBA to help identify security threats across the auto
maintenance and servicing organization. The machine learning
capabilities in Splunk solutions enabled Heartland Jiffy Lube
security operations center (SOC) analysts to reduce threat response
time from hours to realtime, with 25 percent less total cost of
ownership.
- TransAlta used Splunk Enterprise and
Splunk ES to evolve its managed SOC, ingesting thousands of logs to
better understand and enhance its security posture. Today,
TransAlta can now detect and respond to modern threats, while
achieving Level 5 SOC maturity with excellent endpoint visibility.
This allows the Canada-based power generation company to accelerate
its incident investigation process from days to minutes.
As the SIEM market continues to evolve, more Splunk customers
are using Splunk’s Adaptive Response ecosystem, giving them the
ability to detect and respond to cyberattacks faster than ever
within their security nerve center. Splunk customers are also
complementing Splunk ES and Splunk UBA with Splunk ES Content
Update and Splunk Security Essentials for Fraud Detection. To learn
