Splunk, the company that calls itself a “data-to-everything platform,” has launched Splunk Security Cloud, bringing its previously on-prem security offering into the cloud. Originally dubbed Splunk Phantom following the acquisition of a company by the same name in 2018, Splunk Security Cloud is a security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) solution that Eric Schou, head of security marketing at Splunk, says takes the same approach to security as the rest of Splunk: data first.

The company was really rooted in the IT space and then as the company evolved, there were things that maybe started as a use case like security, and then customers quickly realized that visualizing and having access and doing things like analytics on top of that data to quickly understand where they are, what they can do, and taking proactive measures to protect themselves was really good — more than a use case.”

This technology will not only help in security analytics and what kind of data that we are processing and normalizing, but it’s also going to speed up the automation that our SOAR product is consuming,” said Schou.

That is right in line with what Splunk is and who Splunk is.
