Splunk brings everything including the kitchen sink for observability, considering its significant capabilities with not only security information and event management , ransomware tools, industrial IoT vulnerability alerting and user behavior analytics , but also orchestration and digital experience monitoring that includes visibility into the performance of the underlying infrastructure.
Splunk and Cisco stand out as industry leaders in data and security solutions. Splunk's datacentric platform focuses on monitoring and observability, while Cisco offers a comprehensive range of networking, security, collaboration, data center and IoT products and services. Splunk's security analytics deliver real-time insights, address security threats and oversee IT performance, greatly enhancing Cisco's security capabilities.
