“We’re excited about these advanced capabilities that optimize how organizations detect, investigate and respond to threats,” said Haiyan Song, senior vice president of security markets, Splunk. “Customers now gain insights across the entire enterprise and take action more quickly by leveraging the combined power of machine learning, anomaly detection, correlation and ad-hoc investigation in an integrated solution.”
 
Organizations Can Now Leverage Splunk UBA Machine Learning Throughout the SIEM Workflow
Splunk UBA anomaly, threat and user context data are now available in Splunk ES. This integration includes the ability to:
  • Enhance detection and visibility of malicious attackers and insiders’ activities by combining and correlating behavioral analytics with data from enterprise and security technologies, such as threat intelligence, IPS and DLP.
  • Gain deeper context about anomalies relative to users, devices and applications in Splunk Enterprise and Splunk ES.
 
Splunk UBA Enhances Insider Threat and Cyberattack Detection Capabilities
Splunk UBA uses unsupervised machine learning and data science to enhance insider threat defense and cyberattack detection. New features and benefits delivered in UBA 2.2 include the ability to:
  • Define how threats are triggered from detected anomalies using the new Threat Detection Framework.
  • Increase data access and physical data loss coverage.
  • Improve precision, prioritization and correlation of threats with new data sources.

Splunk ES Powers Rapid Investigation of Advanced Threats
