Modernizing Government Operations: Splunk Admin Config Service (ACS) Now Available at FedRAMP High

For public sector security and IT teams, the tension between agility and compliance is a constant reality. We know that as agencies shift toward next-generation Security Operations Centers (SOCs), the need for automated, scalable, and secure cloud management has never been greater. That is why we are excited to announce that the Splunk Admin Config Service (ACS) is now available at the FedRAMP High baseline.

This milestone is more than just a technical update. It is a way to give your teams back their time. By allowing for the programmatic management of your Splunk Cloud environments, Splunk ACS helps you focus on what matters: defending your agency’s mission and data.

Key Benefits of Splunk ACS for Your Agency

• Streamlined Operational Efficiency: Splunk ACS provides a robust set of APIs that allow administrators to perform common configuration tasks, such as managing indexes or data retention policies, without opening support tickets. This self-service model drastically reduces wait times and allows your team to respond to shifting infrastructure needs in real-time.
• Consistency at Scale: With the ability to codify your configurations, you can ensure that your security environment remains consistent across every deployment. This reduces the risk of human error or configuration drift, which is critical when managing complex, distributed government networks.
• Hardened Security and Compliance: By achieving FedRAMP High authorization, ACS ensures that these automated management capabilities meet the government's most stringent security requirements. You get the benefits of cloud-native automation without sacrificing the rigorous data protection standards your agency demands.

Moving Toward the Future of the SOC

Transitioning to this level of automation is a cornerstone of the next-gen SOC. As you continue to integrate AI-powered observability and advanced analytics into your workflows, the ability to manage your underlying infrastructure programmatically becomes a force multiplier. We are committed to providing the public sector with the tools necessary to maintain a superior security posture. With Splunk ACS now at FedRAMP High, you have the flexibility to innovate faster, manage smarter, and stay secure, all while meeting the mandates that guide your daily operations.
