Why Deepwatch MDR and Splunk Are Stronger Together

In the evolving world of cybersecurity, no organization can afford a siloed or outdated approach to threat detection and response. As cyberattacks grow more sophisticated and persistent, businesses need layered defenses and strategic partnerships that maximize every investment. Enter Splunk and Deepwatch MDR—a combination that empowers organizations to achieve new levels of visibility, automation, and security effectiveness.

The Foundation: Splunk’s Unmatched Data Platform

Splunk is an industry-leading Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform. It centralizes and indexes data from every corner of an organization’s environment—workstations, cloud resources, endpoints, network devices, and applications. Security teams appreciate Splunk for its customizable dashboards, real-time analytics, compliance reporting, and powerful search capabilities. Simply put: if it’s happening in your environment, Splunk can see it.

The Challenge: No SIEM Is Enough on Its Own

However, Splunk—and any SIEM—still requires significant resources to unlock its full potential. Threat content must be continually engineered and updated, detection logic tailored, false positives triaged, and response actions scoped and executed. Many organizations struggle to staff 24/7 detection teams, leaving gaps in monitoring and missed opportunities to mitigate threats before they escalate.

The Deepwatch Guardian MDR Platform™: Turning Signal into Action

The Deepwatch Guardian MDR Platform (Deepwatch MDR) takes Splunk’s raw power and operationalizes it. Deepwatch security experts leverage your bespoke Splunk environment (on-premises or cloud), acting as an extension of your team. They provide:

• 24/7 threat monitoring and triage tuned to your business and risk profile.
• Human-led containment with AI and rapid response using proven workflows.
• Continuous threat hunting and detection content development, mapped to frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK.
• Transparent reporting and collaboration directly within your Splunk dashboards.

You retain control and visibility, while Deepwatch runs the heavy-lifting that many internal teams can’t manage at scale.

Seamless Integration: No “Rip-and-Replace”

Many security vendors force you to abandon existing tools. Deepwatch is different. Our MDR is built to work natively with Splunk—so you don’t disrupt workflows, lose valuable customizations, or accumulate tool fatigue. Key benefits include:

• Immediate activation: Detection rules and playbooks light up as soon as data sources connect.
• Unified dashboards: Response actions, investigations, and metrics are visible and actionable inside your existing Splunk interface.
• Asset and identity awareness: Automated discovery enriches Splunk’s context with minimal manual setup.

This approach yields rapid time-to-value and eliminates the need for costly technology migrations or lengthy onboarding.

Dynamic Risk Scoring: Prioritized, Not Paralyzed

Alert fatigue threatens every Security Operations Center (SOC). Deepwatch addresses this with Dynamic Risk Scoring: over 200 real-time risk markers continuously analyze user behaviors, device context, threat intel, and environmental factors. High-fidelity risks surface to analysts, cutting noise and ensuring that the most critical alerts receive immediate investigation and response.

Automation and Programmatic Response

Response speed is mission-critical. Deepwatch MDR integrates with Splunk’s orchestration capabilities (including SOAR), triggering automated playbooks, ticketing, and containment actions. Security scores and incident SLAs update in real-time, reducing both mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR), and empowering security teams to act before incidents escalate.

Elevating Security Maturity While Maximizing ROI

By leveraging Deepwatch MDR on Splunk, organizations:

• Achieve 24/7 coverage by human experts without adding headcount or risk.
• Realize ROI on Splunk investment by bridging SIEM visibility with actionable response.
• Benefit from adaptive detection engineering and continuous threat hunting from MDR analysts.
• Provide defensible metrics and reports to CISOs and boards, demonstrating real security maturity and risk reduction.

Real-World Impact

With Splunk and Deepwatch MDR working together, security teams gain:

• Reduced alert fatigue and analyst burnout.
• Faster, smarter containment of real threats.
• Full-stack visibility across hybrid environments.
• The ability to scale security capabilities as threats and business needs evolve.

Conclusion:

Harnessing the deep integration of The Deepwatch Guardian MDR Platform with Splunk means organizations don’t have to choose between powerful technology and expert service—they get both. It’s a partnership that allows you to operate with confidence, maximize every security dollar, and meet today’s threat landscape with clarity and strength.
