For many people, cybersecurity is merely a necessary business function. But that’s not how our customers see it. For you, cybersecurity is an ever-escalating arms race involving sophisticated operators and uncounted moving parts where a single mistake can cause an avalanche of problems. Cybersecurity isn’t just your job, it’s your life. You are on the front lines, responsible for protecting your organization in a high-pressure environment every day.

Remote workforce models don’t look like they’re going anywhere anytime soon. While your employees need to collaborate, you need to make sure that you mitigate data breach risks.

With the advances in technology and an unpredictable macro environment, IT professionals have to deal with a deluge of data, increasing cyberthreats, distributed infrastructure and workforce, a mix of modern and monolithic apps and hybrid environments.

As described in Splunk Vulnerability Disclosure SVD-2022-0624, there is a list of SPL (Search Processing Language) commands that are classified as risky. This is because incorrect use of these risky commands may lead to a security breach or data loss.

We hope that you had a blast at.conf22 whether you attended in-person or virtually! To keep the good vibes of.conf rolling, we are releasing Splunk Security Essentials 3.6.0.
