Security Pipelines Are Broken. Here's How to Fix Them

There’s a quiet failure at the heart of many security programs. It’s not a lack of data. It’s too much of the wrong data. Telemetry pipelines built for volume, not visibility, now flood teams with noise instead of insight. The result? More alerts. Slower response. Overworked analysts are stuck maintaining ingestion rules instead of catching real threats.

The Value of a Robust Vulnerability Management Program

Back before live security video feeds in homes, people would walk around at night checking to make sure they locked every window and door. They took these precautions because they knew that a single open lock gave burglars an opportunity to steal from them. For organizations, vulnerability management programs are a way to lock the doors against cybercriminals.

Compliance vs Security: The Business Value of Alignment

Compliance is not, nor has it ever been, security. Compliance is the spellcheck of the security world. Security is the work that people do every day to implement, enforce, and monitor the controls that protect systems, networks, applications, devices, users, and data. Compliance is the process of reviewing security work to ensure that it functions as intended. Compliance is an important component of an organization’s security posture.

The Value Of Log Management For Building Reliable IT Infrastructures

Reliability is a non-negotiable requirement. Organizations of all sizes depend on stable systems to deliver services, protect data, and maintain customer trust. Behind the seamless performance of applications and networks lies a wealth of activity recorded in system logs. These logs, often overlooked, provide crucial insights into operations, performance, and security. Effective log management, such as collecting, analyzing, and monitoring these records, is fundamental to building and maintaining a resilient IT infrastructure.

Cyber Attack Disrupts Airports Across Europe

When Heathrow, Brussels, and Berlin airports suffered a cyber attack that disrupted their check-in and baggage systems, the fallout was immediate. Flights were canceled, queues stretched through terminals, and staff scrambled to switch to manual processes. For some of Europe’s busiest hubs, this was more than an inconvenience. It was a reminder that disruption, not data theft, is often the attacker’s goal.

Splunk Enterprise Security: Built to Empower Every SOC Analyst

Security analysts work on the front lines, responsible for protecting organizations every hour of the day from all threats. Our mission has always been to empower the SOC with end-to-end visibility to focus on what matters most and act with clarity, context and speed to resolve any attack.

40 Infosec Metrics Organizations Should Track

In today’s data-driven world, CISOs and senior leadership need to prove that their security programs mitigate risk. Just like grades theoretically quantify how well students understand material their teachers present, cybersecurity metrics quantify your security controls’ effectiveness. As the threat landscape becomes more complex, security teams struggle to identify the metrics that best showcase their value.

Strengthen SOC Defenses with Native UEBA in Splunk Enterprise Security

At.conf25, we announced how Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) has transformed to today’s AI-powered SecOps platform—unifying industry-leading technologies across SIEM, SOAR, User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), threat intelligence, and detection engineering with purpose-built AI across the entire Threat Detection, Investigation, and Response (TDIR) workflow—empowering Security Operations Centers (SOCs) to end analyst fatigue, deliver faster security outcomes, reduce risk, and build r

Using AI in Security Operations: A Practical Checklist for the Modern SOC

AI is transforming how security operations centers (SOCs) work, but the hype can outpace the reality. You don’t need to build custom models or deploy cutting-edge platforms to benefit. Chances are, you already have AI-powered capabilities in your SIEM, SOAR, or security data platforms. The question is: Are they doing anything useful? This practical playbook lays out six key priorities to increase productivity and effectiveness while maintaining control.

Five Essential Strategies to Combat Phishing Threats

Phishing threats remain one of the most common and effective attack methods. Research shows it contributes to over 34% of confirmed breaches. The financial impact is significant as well, with credential-related breaches averaging $4.76 million per incident. And despite years of security awareness training, nearly a third of employees still click on simulated phishing emails. Why does phishing work so well? Attackers exploit gaps in visibility, speed, and user behavior.
