Realizing that your internal team isn’t enough can be a source of stress. Whether it’s due to staffing gaps, missed detections, or board pressure to show 24/7 readiness, the status quo can feel overwhelming. But here’s the good news: there’s a solution.
If you’re already on Splunk, you’re halfway there. The problem isn’t the platform—it’s what’s wrapped around it. By leveraging Splunk for managed detection and response (MDR), you can take control and optimize your security operations.
What you need is a partner who can deliver full MDR, built on your Splunk. No migration. No tool fatigue. Just outcomes. Finding the right partner can bring a sense of relief and confidence in your security strategy.
1. You Know You Need MDR. So, Why the Delay?
- Your team is already doing detection, but it’s not 24/7.
- High-fidelity alerts sit untouched during nights and weekends.
- Containment is inconsistent or limited to notifications.
- Internal SOC roles are open, or are burning out.
- Leadership is asking for answers faster than your dashboards deliver them.
Business impact: Increased dwell time, limited containment capability, and rising pressure to justify spend and prove maturity to the board.
2. You’re Sitting on the Right Stack—It Just Needs Support
You don’t need another vendor telling you to rip and replace. Splunk is working, but operationalizing it at scale takes:
- Detection engineering that adapts to threat evolution
- Alert triage backed by human analysts, not just automation
- Context-rich correlation across endpoint, identity, and cloud
- Real-time response, not wait-until-morning reviews
Business impact: Every dollar you’ve spent on Splunk can go further, without the sunk cost of a failed SOC buildout.
3. What MDR on Splunk Looks Like When It’s Done Right
The goal isn’t coverage in theory, it’s confidence in practice. With a partner like Deepwatch, MDR on Splunk delivers:
- 24/7 monitoring and triage by a dedicated team trained on your environment
- Human-led containment: account lockdowns, endpoint isolation, and escalation workflows
- Custom detection content mapped to MITRE and your threat profile
- Reporting to your CISO can take straight to the board, measuring response time, signal fidelity, and coverage over time
Business impact: Improved detection maturity, reduced burden on internal teams, and clear defensibility at the executive level
You’ve Got Budget. You’ve Got the Stack. Now You Need Outcomes.
Fix It In-House
- Requires hiring, onboarding, and retaining multiple SOC roles
- Adds complexity and risk during high-pressure growth or audit windows
Risks: High overhead with long ramp-up timelines and inconsistent results
Deploy a New MDR Tool or Stack
- Adds disruption, migration work, and shadow tooling risk
- Creates friction with existing data pipelines and reporting workflows
Risks: Tool fatigue, duplicated effort, and governance headaches
Partner for MDR on Your Splunk
- 24/7 detection and response, operationalized fast
- Uses your existing stack—no rip and replace
- Deepwatch runs it for you, tuned to your environment
Benefits: Fast time to value, high trust from leadership, and security maturity that scales without disruption
What to Look For in a True MDR Partner:
- Deep integration with Splunk—not just compatibility, but operational fluency
- Dedicated detection engineering and real-time triage, not part-time alert review
- Human-led containment with proven response workflows, not notify-and-forget models
- Transparent reporting and metrics your leadership can use
- A track record of managing Splunk-based SOCs for enterprise-scale orgs
