2020 was a crazy year with tremendous disruption, hardship, and loss. While the pandemic brings social and economic chaos, it is also changing the very nature of how we live and work. This year we have seen a new wave of digital transformation amongst various business sectors and dramatic shifts in consumer behavior.

The global pandemic has fueled a rapid digital transformation — and led to permanent shifts in cybersecurity. In a recent joint webinar with Bryan McAninch, senior solutions engineer at Splunk, and guest speaker Chris Kissel from IDC, "Sp(e)lunking Security with MITRE ATT&CK® featuring IDC Research," they shared seven overarching trends in cybersecurity for 2021. One notable, but foundational, trend mentioned was the need to understand risk.
We’re thrilled to share the news that Splunk has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Security Analytics Platforms, Q4 2020. It’s an honor to be named a Leader by Forrester. We view it as an affirmation of our commitment to customer success and a reflection of our ability to understand their needs. Through close collaboration with our customers, we have developed innovative solutions to protect their data hosted in on-premises, hybrid or multi-cloud environments.
Last year at .conf19, we announced the GA release of Splunk TV, our free app for Apple TV that provides users with a secure, reliable, read-only platform to display Splunk dashboards on their TVs. Splunk TV was built with security in mind, to power your SOCs and NOCs. Using Splunk TV instead of running dedicated computers to power each screen saves money and increases security. The read-only experience eliminates the risk of someone with physical access tampering with your environment.
It was over a month ago that I promised we would tie together Splunk Security Content and the Splunk Attack Range to automatically test detections. Ultimately, using these projects together in a Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) workflow with CircleCI brings the rigors of software development to the SOC and truly treats 🛡detection as code. Well, I want to share how we have failed at achieving this goal.
Well, it’s been a while since you read a blog dedicated to the latest release – okay, the latest several releases – of Splunk Security Essentials (SSE). We have been busy behind the scenes, however, so let’s catch you up on SSE’s latest features, which include the new version of our content API, and externally with updates from MITRE and the release of ATT&CK v7.2 (with Sub-Techniques) and ATT&CK v8.
