Overcoming Cybersecurity and Risk Management Challenges

Every time you leave your home, you take various risks, like being in a car accident or being struck down by a meteor. In some cases, like the meteor, the likelihood of the event is so low as to be nearly nonexistent. In others, like the car accident, the likelihood might be higher. Similarly, every technology that you connect to your networks creates a cybersecurity security risk. Any device or application that connects to the public internet can be an entry point for attackers.

Digital Resilience for State and Local Governments (Part Two)

In the first part of our series, we examined the challenges facing state and local governments as they work to secure and maintain the availability of increasingly complex digital systems. Today, we turn our focus to how collaboration—powered by shared data platforms like Splunk—can enhance incident response and overall digital resilience.

How Graylog Uses Explainable AI to Help Security Teams

Security teams face an endless stream of alerts, false positives, and investigation backlogs. Every second counts, yet many AI-driven tools promise to handle everything for you that leaves analysts uncertain about how conclusions were made. Graylog takes a different path. The company develops assistive AI that helps analysts make faster, smarter calls with context, transparency, and control. No black boxes. No mystery logic.

Logs & Lattes: Episode 2 - From Noise to Action: Smarter Security Ops That Reduce Risk

Security teams are overwhelmed by alerts, but which ones really matter? In this episode of Logs & Lattes, host Palmer Wallace talks with Rich Murphy, Senior Product Manager at Graylog, about how smarter security operations help teams cut through the noise and focus on what truly reduces risk. From alert fatigue to risk-first response, they unpack practical ways to prioritize real threats, automate with context, and make incident response faster and more effective. Learn how modern SOCs are evolving beyond alert overload to focus on meaningful, risk-based action.

From Tool Sprawl to One Platform: How Graylog Simplifies Security Visibility

Security operations are buried under too many tools. Analysts switch between consoles, piece together context by hand, and burn valuable hours reconciling data that should already work together. According to Gartner, security leaders use an average of 19 different tools, and 80% say this level of complexity creates blind spots. This fragmentation slows down detection and response, drives up costs, and wears out teams that are already stretched thin.

Splunk Ranked Number 1 in the 2025 Gartner Critical Capabilities for Security Information and Event Management Use Cases

In addition to Splunk’s recognition as an 11-time Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), we are honored to announce that Splunk has been ranked as the SIEM solution in all three Use Cases for the second consecutive time in the 2025 Gartner Critical Capabilities for Security Information and Event Management report.

Static Code Analysis: The Complete Guide to Getting Started with SCA

Static code analysis wasn’t always built into the development process. That means most bugs were detected during testing, after the code was already merged and deployed. By that point, fixing issues was time-consuming, expensive, and risky. Small mistakes slipped into production. Security gaps widened and quality suffered. Static analysis shifts all of that left by bringing security and quality checks into the earliest stages of development.

Monitor OCI Audit Logs with Datadog Cloud SIEM

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) provides compute, storage, networking, and database services for running enterprise applications and workloads in Oracle. OCI supports both traditional and cloud-native applications, offering scalable, secure, and high-performance infrastructure for hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Securing workloads in OCI can be complex for organizations managing a mix of on-prem, hybrid, and cloud environments.

Build the SOC of the Future with Splunk and Cisco

I’m not one to blog, but speaking with clients, peers, and colleagues, I often hear statements like “SIEM is dead” or “this is the SOC of the future.” So what do they really mean? Honestly, I’m not entirely sure either — there are so many conflicting viewpoints and ways of addressing this.

SIEM's Next Chapter: Evolving, Not Dying

The obituary for SIEM has been written more than once. The latest headline from Dark Reading calls it “dying a slow death.” Catchy. But wrong. If you work in a SOC, you already know the need for centralized, contextualized visibility is not going anywhere. What is changing the future of SIEM, is how SIEM delivers it. If you are still thinking of SIEM as a clunky, high-cost log hoarder, you are stuck in the wrong decade.
