Written by A3Sec | 11 August, 2022

"Power without control is useless" is the slogan of an old tire advertisement which emphasized the fact that it doesn't matter if you have the fastest car if you are not able to control it. The control of tools such as Splunk to achieve good results is crucial and for them it is necessary to have an expert team that knows how to get the most out of the tool.

A3Sec has a team specialized in converting large volumes of data into relevant information for decision making, with tools such as Splunk, a great ally for threat detection, security data lake, digital surveillance, regulatory compliance, vulnerability management, secure networks or user monitoring, among others.

If your organization wants to have the best possible tandem, Splunk and A3Sec are the solution your company needs.

Splunk is a data analytics software that has become a great ally of enterprise cybersecurity. It provides information about machine data generated by security technologies, such as identity information, networks, endpoints, access, malware and vulnerabilities.

But having the best tool on the market won't help your company if you don't have a team that can get the most out of it.

 

Why should you monitor your company's cybersecurity?

In recent years the complexity of computer attacks has grown so much that traditional defense tools such as antivirus, firewalls, IDS, IPS, etc., are not enough to prevent attacks. All this, added to the enormous amount of data generated by organizations, has made this type of tools incapable of managing security problems efficiently.

To solve this problem, SIEMs (Security Information and Event Management) are solutions whose main function is to monitor and channel all these events and network flows in a comprehensive manner, in order to understand what is happening and be able to take effective measures with greater reliability and security.

Monitoring involves being aware of the overall state of a system, with the aim of observing the different changes that may occur over time. This requires a solution that measures all these changes and can provide us with the information we need.

 

 

A3Sec bets on Splunk, the leading solution in the market that stands out for its capacity in:

  • Data aggregation - Data is aggregated from a large number of sources, such as servers, network devices, IoT, computers, mobiles and any device that can be connected to the network.
  • Data correlation - integrating all received data and interpreting it to extract understandable and convenient reports for decision making.
  • Monitoring - through the control panels, we can review in real time the status of the components and obtain direct information on the processes (number of vulnerabilities, alert level, system status, number of events collected...).

Splunk is a solution that integrates all these stages of the monitoring process and offers a complete solution both at the level of Security Operations Centers (SOC) and for executives who need fast and reliable data for decision making, always according to business needs.

The main objective of this software is to interpret the huge volume of data from organizations and translate it into understandable information for its users. Thanks to this in-depth analysis, Splunk enables the identification of patterns, problem diagnosis and the generation of useful reports for decision making.


 

A3SEC and Splunk: the best possible team to monitor your company's security

There are a number of factors to consider when choosing such a solution. To begin with, we are talking about the integration of the SIEM with our systems. Software of this type must be flexible enough to adapt to changes in the company's technological infrastructure. . Once integrated, it must have sufficient analysis capacity to obtain relevant data, classifying and categorizing the data that are especially useful for decision making. In this part it is especially important to alert incidents in order to be able to act quickly before cybersecurity threats. Of course, support is vital, which is why it is advisable to have a team specialized in the deployment, configuration and use of this tool in order to get the most out of it.

If your organization wants to have the best possible option, Splunk and A3Sec are the solution your company needs.
