Security teams use Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) and Splunk SOAR to integrate with firewalls, endpoint security, and SIEM tools for automated threat response.
#Workflow Actions (B) - Key Integration Feature
Allows analysts to trigger automated actions directly from Splunk searches and dashboards.
Can integrate with SOAR playbooks, ticketing systems (e.g., ServiceNow), or firewalls to take action.
Example:
Block an IP on a firewall from a Splunk dashboard.
Trigger a SOAR playbook for automated threat containment.
