Splunk for Security: SSE - Security Content

This video provides an in-depth look at the security content features within Splunk Security Essentials, showcasing how they help organisations explore and implement tailored use cases for their security needs. Starting from the Security Content page, users can navigate through six distinct content categories, apply filters, and focus on the most relevant security capabilities, such as insider threat detection or specific stages of the security data journey. The platform's filters allow users to refine their search by frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, CIS Controls, and kill chain phases, ensuring the content aligns with their operational goals. Visual cues, such as coloured bubbles, further simplify the identification of critical content based on its availability, impact, or recommendation level.

Once a use case is identified, users can delve into its details via the Search Details page. Here, they can access comprehensive information, including SPL difficulty, required data sources, and security impact. The video highlights tools like the line-by-line SPL documentation feature, which explains the logic behind each search, and the save and schedule buttons to integrate searches directly into your environment. With views for demo data, live data, or CIM-accelerated data, the platform supports flexible implementation. This session concludes by emphasising how these features simplify the process of discovering, understanding, and deploying effective security content.
