Cisco & Splunk

Splunk Customers Leveraging Cisco Solutions

Enhanced Threat Detection and Monitoring

AI-Driven Protection: By integrating Cisco Hypershield, Splunk customers gain access to AI-native threat detection and vulnerability analysis, which complements Splunk’s advanced analytics.

Centralized Data Ingestion: Hypershield’s detailed telemetry and security logs are ingested into Splunk’s platform, enabling correlation with other security data (e.g., firewalls, endpoints).

Multi-Layered Defense: Combining Hypershield’s segmentation data with Splunk’s IT monitoring provides deeper insights into distributed threats.

Real-Time Analytics and Correlation

Unified Dashboard: Splunk’s “single pane of glass” dashboard incorporates Cisco’s tools like SecureX, Talos, and Hypershield, providing comprehensive visibility across hybrid environments.

Cross-Platform Threat Correlation: Splunk analyzes Hypershield’s AI-driven security events alongside broader network, endpoint, and cloud data to detect advanced persistent threats.

Automated Response and Policy Enforcement

Dynamic Threat Containment: Hypershield’s segmentation capabilities dynamically block lateral movement, while Splunk’s SOAR triggers containment policies in response to detected anomalies.

Integrated Playbooks: Splunk’s orchestration capabilities enhance Hypershield’s real-time policy application for automated responses, such as quarantining compromised servers.

Improved Visualisation and Reporting

Executive-Level Insights: Splunk dashboards visualize Hypershield’s threat mitigations, segmentation strategies, and compliance metrics for C-level reporting.

Regulatory Compliance: Splunk integrates with Hypershield to log and report policy enforcement activities, streamlining audits and meeting regulatory requirements.

Advanced Analytics and Machine Learning

Predictive Threat Analytics: Splunk applies machine learning models to Cisco telemetry, including Hypershield data, to detect multi-stage attacks and evolving threats.

Proactive Threat Hunting: Cisco customers can leverage Splunk’s analytics for deeper insights into Hypershield’s segmentation and traffic patterns.

Comprehensive Observability

Centralized Monitoring: Splunk provides Cisco customers with enterprise-wide observability by aggregating data from Hypershield, Secure Endpoint, Umbrella, and other tools into a single platform.

Enhanced Network Visibility: Hypershield’s segmentation and distributed exploit protection are enriched by Splunk’s broader IT and security monitoring capabilities.

Optimized Automation and Orchestration

Seamless Workflows: Splunk integrates with Cisco SecureX and Hypershield to create fully automated incident response workflows.

Rapid Mitigation: Hypershield autonomously enforces policies, while Splunk’s SOAR playbooks ensure coordinated responses across the IT stack.

Scalable Security for Complex Environments

Future-Proofing AI Workloads: Hypershield is optimized for AI-scale workloads, and Splunk ensures consistent monitoring as systems grow in complexity and size.

Adaptability Across Ecosystems: Splunk enhances Cisco’s security solutions with analytics that are scalable across on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud infrastructures.

Key Synergies

Unified Pane of Glass

Both Splunk and Cisco customers benefit from a single dashboard that integrates logs, alerts, and analytics from Hypershield, Secure Firewall, SecureX, and other tools. This simplifies management and accelerates response times.

AI-Augmented Security

Cisco Hypershield’s AI-native framework combines with Splunk’s machine learning models to create a next-level security platform capable of detecting advanced threats and mitigating them proactively.

Faster Incident Response

Automation capabilities from Splunk’s SOAR and Hypershield’s autonomous segmentation significantly reduce mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR).

Comprehensive Threat Intelligence

Splunk’s predictive analytics and Cisco’s Talos intelligence provide organizations with a layered approach to threat detection, delivering unparalleled accuracy and proactive defenses.

Improved Compliance and Reporting

Organizations can leverage Splunk’s visualization and logging tools to track Hypershield’s segmentation and policy enforcement, ensuring robust compliance with regulatory requirements.
