Encouragement to upskill and adapt to evolving technologies is emphasized, highlighting the need for continuous learning and staying abreast of foundational concepts like generative AI and machine learning.
Big thank you to Cisco for sponsoring my trip to Cisco Live and this video!
Cisco’s $28B acquisition of Splunk made them one of the largest and most influential security companies in the world, with the broadest set of telemetry and visibility. At Cisco Live, Cisco announced that they are integrating the Cisco Security Cloud with Splunk to change the game for threat detection and incident response.
Security Operations teams can fully leverage the telemetry and alerts from the Cisco Security Cloud as part of a unified threat detection, investigation, and response workflow in Splunk. The new Cisco Security Cloud Technology Add-on (TA) for Splunk is a simple, reliable way to get a broad range of Cisco Security Cloud telemetry and analytics outcomes into Splunk. Cisco Duo and Secure Malware Analytics are available now, with additional sources to be added in the coming months.
