Splunk Positioned Highest Overall for
Ability to Execute for Security Information and Event
Management
Splunk Inc. (NASDAQ: SPLK), delivering actions and outcomes from
the world of data, today announced it has been named a Leader in
Gartner’s 2018 Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event
Management1 for the sixth straight year. Splunk was also positioned
highest overall on the ability to execute axis, which we feel is a
testament to Splunk’s position at the heart of the Security
Operations Center (SOC). For the report, Gartner evaluated Splunk’s
security offerings, including Splunk® Enterprise, Splunk Enterprise
Security (ES), Splunk User Behavior Analytics (UBA) and Splunk
Phantom®. For a complimentary copy of the Gartner 2018 Magic
Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management, visit the

According to Gartner’s 2018 report, the security information and
event management (SIEM) market is defined by the “customer’s need
to analyze event data in real time for early detection of targeted
attacks and data breaches, and to collect, store, investigate and
report on log data for incident response, forensics and regulatory
compliance.” Splunk significantly expanded its security portfolio
offerings this year, adding machine learning capabilities and
security automation, orchestration and response (SOAR) technology
via its acquisition of Phantom.
“The effective use of threat intelligence, behavior profiling
and analytics can improve detection success. SIEM vendors continue
to increase their native support for behavior analysis capabilities
as well as integrations with third-party technologies, and Gartner
customers are increasingly expressing interest in developing use
cases based on behavior,” wrote Gartner report authors Kelly
Kavanagh, Senior Principal Analyst, Toby Bussa, VP Analyst and
Gorka Sadowski, Senior Director Analyst.
“Splunk introduced the concept of analytics-driven security to
the market, which has helped thousands of organizations get
insights and take action on their data. Today, customers around the
world are using a powerful combination of Splunk security solutions
to help them detect, investigate and act on security threats faster
than ever before,” said Haiyan Song, senior vice president and
general manager, security markets, Splunk. “We believe Gartner’s
continued recognition demonstrates Splunk’s vision of building a
security nerve center that empowers our customers to act on threats
rapidly with data analytics, and then remediate at machine speed
while leveraging security orchestration, automation and
response.”
The security skills gap is growing - recent estimates2 state
that the industry will be short two million security professionals
by next year. With that, security teams are struggling to keep up
with an accelerated volume of threats and alerts that are
constantly barraging their networks. As more and more customers
turn to Security Operations as the center of gravity within the
SOC, organizations are demanding solutions that can leverage data
to automate and orchestrate threat response. Splunk unveiled its
latest suite of security solutions at .conf18, the annual Splunk
users conference last month, including:
- Splunk Enterprise Security 5.2,
Splunk’s flagship security platform, which acts as the ‘security
nerve center’ within the SOC so customers can use their data to
continuously monitor, detect and respond to risk
- Splunk User Behavior Analytics 4.2,
powered by machine learning, which helps customers detect anomalous
behavior and known and unknown threats from inside or outside of
their networks
- Splunk Phantom 4.1, the newest addition
to Splunk’s security portfolio, which allows customers to automate
and orchestrate a response on their security data to dramatically
scale their security operations.
