We are excited to announce a new addition to Upwind’s built-in integrations, seamlessly connecting Upwind and Splunk. This new integration makes it easier than ever to export Upwind’s runtime-powered findings to your SIEM.

What is Splunk?

Splunk is a security information and event management (SIEM) platform designed to search, monitor, and analyze machine-generated data from various sources – including applications, systems, and IT infrastructure. Splunk gives organizations real-time insights into their operations by collecting and indexing data, allowing them to search data and create reports and alerts.

Upwind’s Splunk Integration

Upwind’s Splunk integration empowers users to receive additional context for security findings, helping security teams correlate Upwind’s runtime insights with other threat intelligence sources in Splunk. This enables faster incident investigation, improves alert prioritization, and enhances response workflows by linking vulnerabilities to real-time attack attempts and system behaviors. Using this integration, users can utilize Splunk’s powerful data analytics capabilities to analyze security events from Upwind, enriching security findings with real-time visibility and advanced correlation with other data sources in their environment.

How to Integrate Splunk with Upwind 

Integrating Upwind with Splunk allows users to send security findings and event notifications to their Splunk deployment using the Splunk HTTP Event Collector (HEC). This integration enables real-time security insights and streamlined log management.

Users can easily set up the integration by completing the following steps:

1. Complete the prerequisites such as setting up a HEC token and HEC URI and ensuring indexing permissions with Splunk
2. Log into the Upwind console and navigate to the Integrations Tab.
3. Click on the Splunk integration in the Monitoring & Logging section.
4. Click “Connect.”
5. Set the webhook name, HEC endpoint, and HEC token.
6. Test connectivity.

Leverage Upwind’s Splunk integration to streamline data analytics and enrich security findings with Upwind’s real-time monitoring and contextualized insights, and reduce response times by enabling faster detection and investigation of threats.
