Splunk’s investment in building easy-to-use cloud services continues to drive significant value to customers on a journey to the cloud. Splunk’s cloud-first product release strategy enables rapid delivery of new features and increased functionality to Splunk Cloud customers. The latest cloud release includes increased security controls and enhancements to the HTTP Event Collector to give organizations expanded ability to collect cloud data sources. Customers can deploy Splunk Cloud alongside Splunk Enterprise for a single, centralized view across their machine data.

“From day one, Splunk Cloud has given us actionable, data-driven intelligence, and Splunk’s cloud-first release process ensures we always have the leading-edge cloud-based SIEM solution,” said George Do, CISO, Equinix. “With Splunk Enterprise Security in the cloud, we are getting comprehensive SIEM functionality, the economics and simplicity of software as a service, and outstanding availability and security. As a result, we are able to reduce roughly 20 billion raw events into about 20 actionable alerts per month and investigate security incidents 30 percent faster – all while realizing a 50 percent TCO savings compared to legacy SIEM solutions.”
