Splunk Security Detections Optimization
Fortify Your Splunk Environment Through Optimized Detections
Optimize Security Detections in Splunk
Splunk is a powerful SEIM. Optimizing your usage can make or break ROI, security maturity, and the cyber hygiene of your organization. However, when it comes to ingesting data, managing alerts, and configuring detections, using Splunk to its fullest potential can feel like an impossible task.
Our Security Detections Optimization service leverages masterful Splunk expertise from one of SP6’s Splunk Core Certified engineers. By entering your environment, they’ll review your existing Splunk detections, leverage Risk-Based Alerting, and perform a variety of adjustments to ensure they’re not only aligned with your business objectives but fine-tuned for maximum performance.
What's Included in SP6's Security Detections Optimization Service?

Detection Coverage Assessment
We’ll evaluate how well your detections align with threats in the MITRE ATT&CK framework and how well each data source is being utilized, identifying any gaps.

Noise and Alert Tuning
An SP6 engineer will identify excessively noisy alerts that provide minimal value and suggest strategies to alleviate alert fatigue while enhancing focus on genuine threats.

Resource Optimization
We’ll identify detections that use excessive system resources and recommend smarter, more efficient content development practices to reach the same objectives.

RBA Optimization
An SP6 engineer will review your Risk-Based Alerting (RBA) setup and provide guidance to maximize its value and impact.

Underused Data Sources
Discovery of data sources already available in the environment that could be used more effectively for security insights.

Low-Value Ingested Data
Exposure of data being ingested that offers little security or compliance benefit, helping reduce costs and refocus priorities.

CIM & Data Quality Review
We’ll check the quality and structure of the ingested data and flag any gaps in Common Information Model (CIM) compliance that affect performance and detection accuracy.

Actionable Business Recommendations
Practical guidance tailored to your environment, focused on reducing risk and strengthening security outcomes.
