Splunk

Splunk operates a unified data platform for security and observability, marketed around "digital resilience." The platform ingests and correlates cross-domain machine data at petabyte scale and presents it as contextualized intelligence for human teams and AI systems. Its two principal solution areas are security — threat detection, investigation, and response supported by AI and built-in Cisco Talos threat intelligence in what the company calls an "agentic SOC" — and observability, which covers application and infrastructure performance across owned and unowned networks and AI workloads.

Products and use cases referenced by the company include Splunk Enterprise, Splunk Cloud Platform, Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) for AIOps and incident prediction, application performance monitoring, alert noise reduction and event correlation, advanced threat detection using behavioral analytics and risk scoring, fraud detection and response, and compliance monitoring for standards such as PCI, HIPAA, and GDPR. Splunk also launched Splunk Agent Observability, attributed to its Galileo acquisition, to observe and secure AI agents, models, and infrastructure. The company's website states that Splunk is now a Cisco company.
