Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks are bad news. And they can affect lots of people, often unknowingly. Chief among the top cybersecurity threats affecting users worldwide, any website with unsafe elements can become vulnerable to XSS attacks — making visitors to that website unwitting cyberattack victims. To secure your website from XSS attacks, you must first know what they are.
It’s no secret that SOC teams are struggling. The main reason is the sheer volume of data they must collect and analyze to thwart cybercrime. The data sources they need to account for include applications, transactions, IoT devices, mobile devices, and more. And the amount of global information created, replicated, and consumed is projected to increase to more than 180 zettabytes over the next five years, making the data challenge we’re facing even worse.
Software vendors have loads of high-value data they need to protect — from customers’ personally identifiable information to the company’s intellectual property — so a data breach can be catastrophic. There’s a lot on the line if these types of organizations fall victim to a cyberattack, including fines from regulators or damage to their brand and reputation.
The Splunk Threat Research Team (STRT) is happy to release v3.0 of the Splunk Attack Range. Splunk Attack Range is an open source project that allows security teams to spin up a detection development environment to emulate adversary behavior and use the generated telemetry data to build detections in Splunk. This blog highlights the new features introduced in version 3.0 to help build resilient, high-quality detections.
The New Year brings with it so much to look forward to and we are happy to bring even more to be excited about: a new release for the Splunk App for PCI Compliance.

In this blog, let's review the main benefits of the Splunk App for PCI Compliance and highlight the improvements that version 5.1 brings.
In 2021, I wrote a blog post congratulating the Splunk France team on winning several awards. In 2022, they won even more... This is a quote from the former Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger, which I think is particularly apt. By winning multiple awards, specifically related to cybersecurity, we've shown that we can do even better. Last year, our client Carrefour helped us present our cybersecurity project with them to panels of judges made up of IT managers and CISOs.
These days, security is more important to companies than sales. When your company must maximize renewals, you’re not selling your product once — you’re selling it day in, day out. The moment your security breaches or your services go down, guarantee your customers and users are considering your competitor. Strong cybersecurity helps safeguard your data and your networks from theft, fraud and unauthorized access.
Here at Splunk we’ve been looking ahead to 2023 through our annual predictions for the public sector. This report is once again published alongside our leadership insights and emerging trends, IT and observability, and security editions. The new year presents many challenges that will affect the public and private sectors alike, including economic volatility, intensifying cyberattacks, the tech talent shortage and more.
The focus on resilience is changing the role of security leaders in organizations today and will continue to do so in 2023. 2022 saw a lot of disruption in businesses, especially with rising cybercrime incidents. Cyber threats will only continue to grow and multiply due to the ongoing convergence of data, changing the discipline of cybersecurity altogether.
