Splunk for Security: SSE - Series Introduction

This video is the first in a series showcasing Splunk Security Essentials as an ideal starting point for enhancing security operations with Splunk. It introduces the security data journey, a framework to help organisations focus their security programs, and demonstrates how Security Essentials supports the discovery of relevant content to drive operations. Additionally, the video explores its role in guiding the deployment process, offering valuable insights into data onboarding and enabling organisations to leverage built-in dashboards and reports to monitor their security posture effectively.

The video also highlights advanced features such as data inventory management and Common Information Model (CIM) compliance. These tools allow users to categorise their data, assess compliance levels, and leverage machine learning to detect data loss. Content mapping and bookmarking are presented as powerful capabilities for tracking use case delivery across Splunk and external security tools. The session wraps up by exploring the security wizards, which guide users in creating complex searches to reduce false positives, enhancing overall detection accuracy.
