While 2020 and 2021 were significant years for us, we’ve entered this year ready to give more to our users! We’re delighted to share we have raised $142 million in a Series D funding round! So what does that mean for you exactly? Over the past few months, our team has been working hard to build custom mapping for metrics, an advanced tracing UI, and more into our platform. The world is our oyster, and we can’t wait for you to see what else we have planned!

Many cybersecurity teams are drinking from multiple firehoses without solutions in place to deal with the onslaught of data. And with 70 percent of companies experiencing over one hundred attacks each day, it’s not slowing down. Teams are overwhelmed with data from multiple sources and formats with continuous requests to pull in more and more.

When I talk with Splunk customers, their challenges sometimes sound like trying to find a needle in a stack of needles. Feel the same way? The answers you need are out there, hidden in your data. Our job is to help you find them. Securing your networks, keeping them up and running and maximizing efficiency are key priorities. You also face the challenges of speeding up development and driving innovation to stay competitive.

You may have previously heard about OpenTelemetry (also known as OTel) if you have looked into improved ways of standardising different data types.

This is because as multiple tools are used to achieve similar goals for different data types the issue of tool sprawl quickly arises.
