Find and stop vulnerable code at runtime - Secure App in Splunk Observability Cloud

Secure App brings runtime application security into Splunk Observability Cloud using the same OpenTelemetry instrumentation as your APM traces to surface the vulnerabilities actually running in production, prioritize them by real-world exploit risk, and catch live attacks. TOC.

Top 10 Log Aggregation Tools for 2026: SIEM & Compliance

You're staring at a growing pile of endpoint, cloud, firewall, and identity logs, and the question isn't whether the data is useful, it's whether you can turn it into evidence, detections, and a defensible audit trail. In regulated environments, HIPAA, PCI, and CMMC don't care that your team is busy, they care that logs are collected consistently, normalized correctly, retained properly, and searchable when an incident or audit hits.

Normalize security logs to Google SecOps UDM with Observability Pipelines

Google Security Operations (SecOps) is Google Cloud’s security operations platform for detecting, investigating, and responding to threats across large volumes of security telemetry. To make that telemetry useful across sources, Google SecOps uses the Unified Data Model (UDM), a common event schema that provides a consistent structure for security logs. But logs from firewalls, endpoints, identity providers, and other sources all describe and format security events differently.

Suricata IDS/IPS Data in Graylog

If you’re running Suricata to watch your network, you already know how much signal lives in its logs. Graylog provides a purpose-built way to make that signal immediately actionable. The Suricata IDS/IPS Content Pack, available with an Illuminate license and Graylog Enterprise or Graylog Security, delivers ready-to-use parsing rules, streams, GIM categorization, and a dashboard so you can turn raw Suricata EVE JSON events into structured, searchable security intelligence.

Modernizing the Mission: Splunk Victoria Experience is Now Authorized at FedRAMP High

For public sector organizations and other highly regulated industries, the balance between cutting-edge innovation and strict compliance has often felt like a trade-off. You want the latest features, but security and authorization come first. Today, we’re closing that gap. We’re excited to share that, following our FedRAMP Moderate authorization earlier this year, Splunk Victoria Experience has now officially achieved FedRAMP High authorization as well.

Called it (mostly): Checking in on 2026 predictions so far

On this episode of Masters of Data, we revisit the predictions Adam White, Zoe Hawkins, and David Girvin made at the end of last year, checking our own scorecard halfway through 2026. The hits: agents running amok and deleting databases, MCP becoming the backbone for tracking what agents actually do, growing security gaps around personal data, and a collective rejection of low-quality AI content. The misses: we underestimated how fast companies would cut staff for AI, then quietly start rehiring once the agents couldn't cover the work, and we're still arguing about whether token burn is a cost problem or a coming attack vector.

IT Audit: What It Is and How to Prepare for One

Cramming for an exam in school often meant late nights, large quantities of caffeine, and anxiety about potential final grades. Whether studying alone or as part of a group, you probably tried to pull together all your notes and review sheets, so you had the right information at your fingertips during the test. In some cases, these exams could determine whether you passed or failed a course.

Preparing for OMB M-26-14: How Datadog supports federal logging maturity

Memorandum M-26-14 from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) marks a significant evolution in federal cybersecurity guidance, establishing a new risk-based framework for logging and network visibility across the United States federal government. The memo replaces the prescriptive requirements of Memorandum M-21-31 with an approach that emphasizes continuous monitoring, threat detection, investigation, and forensic readiness.
