Splunk is a Leader and Placed Highest in Execution in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SIEM

We are honored to share that Splunk has once again been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) — our eleventh consecutive placement. Even more meaningful to us, Splunk was placed highest in Ability to Execute in our opinion, underscoring our relentless commitment to helping security teams stay ahead in today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape. This recognition is not just about Splunk. It’s about you—our customers—who have been on this journey with us from the very beginning.

Our Journey Together: Redefining the Next Era for the SOC

In the mid-2010s, we launched Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) with a bold vision: to give security teams a SIEM that could handle any data, at any scale, and make it immediately useful for security. That vision quickly grew into reality—reshaping how SOCs detect, investigate, and respond to threats.

From those early days of schema-on-the-fly SIEM to today’s AI-powered SecOps platform, the journey has always been a collaborative one. Each milestone was shaped by your real-world challenges—managing explosive data growth, defending against increasingly sophisticated threats, overcoming analyst shortages, and reducing alert fatigue.

Your feedback, your trust, and your partnership have pushed us to evolve faster and smarter. Together, we’ve built not only a product, but a movement—driving the future of security operations into the agentic AI era.

Executing on our Shared Vision

At .conf25, we unveiled the next chapter of Splunk Enterprise Security: a unified, AI-powered SecOps platform that simplifies the analyst experience and delivers faster, smarter outcomes across the entire threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) workflow. Here are just a few of the innovations we’ve recently introduced—shaped directly by customer feedback:

Simplifying the Analyst Experience With Unified Workflows

• Two flexible editions: Enterprise Security Essentials and Enterprise Security Premier—delivering the same unified SecOps platform, tailored to meet organizations where they are.
• Integrated UEBA: Detect and stop insider threats by baselining normal activity and correlating anomalous behavior across users, devices, and applications—all natively within.
• Embedded SOAR for all: Case management, playbooks, and automation are now built into ES, empowering every analyst with the speed and efficiency of automation.

Expanding Detection and Visibility

• Detection Studio*: A complete detection lifecycle experience—test, deploy, and monitor high-fidelity detections, close gaps against MITRE ATT&CK, and accelerate time to coverage.
• Integrated threat intelligence: Direct Cisco Talos intelligence within ES, SOAR, and Attack Analyzer, giving analysts richer context and faster decision-making.
• Cisco + Splunk collaboration: Splunk Threat Research Team (STRT) and Cisco Talos working hand-in-hand to deliver world-class detections and insights in ES.

Accelerating the SOC with AI and Agentics

Splunk delivers AI that works the way your SOC works—purpose-built AI embedded across the entire analyst workflow, rooted in operational reality, and measurable outcomes. Highlights include:

• AI Assistant in Security: generate SPL queries, summarize findings, generate investigation reports, and get remediation guidance with natural language.
• Malware Threat Reversing Agent: Automatically interprets malicious scripts line-by-line, flags evasive behaviors, groups recurring attack patterns, and extracts IOCs—giving analysts actionable insights in seconds instead of hours.
• Triage Agent**: Prioritize and explain alerts to cut through noise and surface what matters most.
• AI Playbook Authoring Agent**: Turn natural language into functional SOAR playbooks, democratizing automation.
• Autonomous Response Agent**: Execute predefined response actions within security tools—accelerating containment and resolution.
• AI-enhanced Detection Library**: Continuously improve coverage and resilience with an AI-driven library that helps teams rapidly iterate, expand attack surface coverage, and reduce time from hypothesis to production.
• Detection Personalizer**: Accelerate time-to-value with out-of-the-box detections that are instantly usable. AI-generated descriptions and ready-to-deploy simulation scripts streamline workflows, making it easy to adapt detections to your unique environment.

Thank You for Being Part of This Journey

None of this would be possible without you—our customers, partners, and community. Your trust, collaboration, and feedback have fueled every milestone on this journey.

Being recognized as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for 11 years in a row is not just a Splunk achievement—it’s a shared success story with every security team that chose to build resilience with us.

As we look ahead to the agentic AI era, our focus remains the same: empowering SOCs to end analyst fatigue, deliver faster outcomes, reduce risk, and build stronger resilience—together.

From all of us at Splunk: thank you. Here’s to the next chapter of our journey.
