If I asked you to describe Splunk, you’d likely reply with something about it being really good (the best!) at gathering and searching logs. You’re right! But while that’s true, you may not know Splunk is also tops at gathering and analyzing metrics. Putting the two together is very powerful; logs (events, more generically) and metrics go together like cookies and milk!
More people than ever are working remotely, and about one-third say the coronavirus pandemic was their first chance to do so. As companies return to a new normal, they are considering how to manage workers who are not in the office, and mobile workers add a unique challenge. The term “remote worker” includes work-from-home employees and mobile workers. Most employees who work remotely do both.
Two years ago we introduced Splunk Insights for AWS Cloud Monitoring and Splunk Insights for Infrastructure on the AWS Marketplace as a Pay-As-You-Go Amazon Machine Image, where you could initiate an instance and pay hourly to use these products after a 15-day trial. Assessing our portfolio, we are discontinuing these offerings to focus on differentiating capabilities, namely the ability to search and apply machine learning to your data in addition to visualizing insights.
You may be surprised to learn that a particular malware is responsible for data theft in over 20% of financial institutions and other verticals in 2019. Watering hole attacks involve a web server that hosts files or applications where the website or files on the site become weaponized with malware. While recent news cycles have shined a spotlight on ransomware and crimeware, malware is not a new concept.

Most IT and business leaders know that despite the economic and human disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic, digital transformation will ultimately speed up, not slow down. The immediate challenges of the pandemic have led companies to find innovative ways to get things done, relying on data-driven decisions and technologies.
The cloud has become ubiquitous in all we do, and the line between the perimeter and the cloud continues to shrink as most enterprise organizations are looking to shift their cloud strategy to a multi-cloud approach. Moving to the cloud comes with plenty of benefits like performance optimization, improved reliability and overall cost savings, but cloud adoption is not without its risks and challenges.
I recently spoke on a panel discussion with the Securities Technology Analysis Center (STAC) on the use of infrastructure as a competitive advantage. The event offered fresh thinking on what it takes to manage high-frequency, low-latency trading environments - so I wanted to share some best practices for organization, monitoring, and how to make insights operational.
During World War II, a mathematician named Abraham Wald worked on a problem – identifying where to add armor to planes based on the aircraft that returned from missions and their bullet puncture patterns. The obvious and accepted thought was that the bullets represented the problem areas for the planes. Wald pointed out that the problem areas weren’t actually these areas, because these planes survived.

The promise of NoSample™ full-fidelity distributed tracing with unlimited cardinality exploration is that no application performance degradation will be sampled away. This ensures that executions, which exemplify problems related to latency and/or errors will be retained for further inspection and analysis. Additional value can be extracted from trace data by determining when such investigations should occur, in other words, by identifying spikes and anomalies in endpoint latency or error rate.
This week we are excited to officially announce the launch of our new Splunk Community with a re-imagined experience! The Splunk Community first launched nearly eleven years ago and today over 12,000 monthly active members visit our site to engage, learn, answer questions and give back!

Evolving business themes come at us in waves. So far this millennium we have had The New Economy, The Cloud, and now Digital Transformation. Underpinning these themes are real, economically significant dynamics that drown out the bleating voices of pundits and cynics alike. The Internet is not a bubble, the cloud is not a fad, and digital transformation is, well, transformative. Let’s take a look at what that last one means for Financial Services.
We have to get everyone back to work. The global restart of economies derailed by the coronavirus pandemic is challenging organizations across the board. And from one industry to the next, IT must be a central player in establishing a new normal. Organizations that had to entirely shut down facilities — retail stores, manufacturing plants, restaurants, theme parks — may particularly struggle to reestablish operations with new approaches that protect worker and customer health.
