Splunk is an enterprise data platform — providing security information and event management (SIEM), IT observability, and AI-powered analytics for security operations centres and IT teams. Cisco acquired Splunk in 2024 for $28B, making it a core component of Cisco's security and observability portfolio. AI capabilities include Splunk AI — AI-generated investigation summaries for security alerts, AI-assisted threat hunting, and ML anomaly detection across security and operational data. Mission Control provides a unified security operations interface — correlating detections from Splunk SIEM, SOAR, and threat intelligence into prioritised incident queues. ML Toolkit provides a no-code machine learning environment — data scientists building and deploying ML models on Splunk data for custom anomaly detection and predictive analytics. Observability Cloud provides full-stack observability — infrastructure metrics, APM traces, log analytics, and real-time streaming analytics for DevOps and SRE teams. SPL (Search Processing Language) is Splunk's query language — a powerful domain-specific language for searching, correlating, and transforming machine data. Data Ingestion at enterprise scale handles petabytes of security and operational log data — indexing and querying from every data source in the enterprise environment. With deployment at 90 of the Fortune 100, Splunk validates as the most widely deployed enterprise SIEM and data platform.
Splunk AI runs as ml platform software built around data and text workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web, cli, and api.
