Splunk Announces Amazon Security Lake Support

Splunk has released a public preview of the Splunk Add-on for Amazon Security Lake to the Splunkbase content marketplace. Announced at AWS re:Invent 2022 earlier this week, Amazon Security Lake allows customers to build a security data lake from integrated cloud and on-premises data sources as well as from their private applications. With support for the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF) open standard, Amazon Security Lake helps reduce the complexity and costs for customers to make their security solutions data accessible to address a variety of security use cases such as threat detection, investigation, and incident response. With Splunk Add-on for Amazon Security Lake, customers can use Splunk to easily ingest the OCSF-compliant data in Amazon Security Lake data to address security use cases, enabling security teams to more easily use this data to improve threat detection, investigation and response. Splunk is an early supporter of Amazon Security Lake and a leading contributor to the community implementing the OCSF open standard that benefits the broader cybersecurity community.

Joint Splunk and AWS customers can benefit significantly from this support as it delivers benefits of OCSF, namely the simplification of sharing and analyzing disparate security data by eliminating the step of normalizing the data first. By storing data in OCSF-compliant format, Amazon Security Lake helps simplify the work customers must perform to ingest and analyze security data with Splunk by being a single feed of security data to manage versus customers needing to manage multiple services coming from AWS or other security solutions.
