Mark Seward, senior director of security and compliance, Splunk, said: “Statistical analysis is the new weapon of the security warrior defending against threats that bypass traditional security detection systems. This is one of the reasons why more than 1,500 organizations around the world rely on Splunk for security.
“Companies now understand that hidden in the terabytes of user-generated machine data are abnormal patterns of activity that represent the presence of malware or the behavior of malicious insiders. The new Splunk App for Enterprise Security enables statistical analysis of HTTP traffic to help security professionals determine a baseline for what’s normal, quickly detect outliers and use those events as starting points for security analysis and investigation.”
“The future of securing the enterprise relies upon using all available data, not just predetermined bits and pieces of traditional security data. Statistical analysis expands the value of that data. It can help uncover meaningful insight that often goes unrecognized in a mass of raw information. The new Splunk App for Enterprise Security is breaking new ground in security data analytics by applying statistical techniques to data that is often beyond the reach of legacy tools,” said Scott Crawford, managing research director, security and risk management, Enterprise Management Associates. “Today’s attackers are more determined than ever, and organizations need a flexible, fast and scalable data platform to be able to respond. The new dashboards in the Splunk App for Enterprise Security help security professionals make this data more actionable.”
