A few weeks ago, Gartner named Splunk Enterprise Security a Leader in the 2022 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SIEM. This is the ninth consecutive year that Splunk has been placed in the Leader’s quadrant. We’re honored to be recognized and we believe our placement is a testament to our commitment to delivering a data-centric security analytics solution that accelerates threat detection and investigations.
You know that us Splunkers love to go deep into use cases and figure out what helps our customers the most. However in today’s business world, industry recognition goes a long way in proving the value in the products and services we use. For example if you were Munich Airport, then it would speak volumes to others if your airport was named as a “First Five-Star Airport” or if you were Dachser Logistics and went on to win the “One Eaton Supplier Premier Award”.

Splunk introduced Federated Search in July 2021 to much fanfare. We won’t go into too much detail about how it works because there is already a great writeup in a previous blog along with Splunk Federated Search documentation.
It will not come as a surprise to you that fraud and financial crime is continuing to challenge organizational business and cyber resiliency plans. Odds are you have dealt with fraud firsthand, or know someone experiencing the pains caused by fraud. Back in 2020 we shared some thoughts about how we believe leveraging a data platform like Splunk can help you gain more anti-fraud value and insights from your data and showed how you can determine what your data is worth.
