Splunk Enterprise & InsightVM and InsightIDR

Splunk Enterprise & InsightVM and InsightIDR Integration Brief

Accelerate Investigation and Response

By combining Rapid7 InsightVM and InsightIDR with Splunk Enterprise

Integration Benefits

  • Gain awareness and context around your assets’ vulnerability state
  • Easily detect user-focused attacks, such as compromised credentials, phishing attacks, and lateral movement
  • Apply a user lens to security incidents by easily correlating assets, users, and incidents
  • Conduct in-depth investigations with additional security information about each asset, e.g. ports, services, applications, and users
  • Monitor your endpoints for vulnerabilities and real-time compromise with the Rapid7 Insight Agent
  • Add monitoring opportunities with deception technology (honeypots, honey credentials) to detect stealthy attacker behavior
  • Visualize your vulnerability data graphically for easier investigations

Achieve more with a single pane view of your security events, reporting, forensics, and incident investigations. By integrating Rapid7 InsightVM and InsightIDR with Splunk Enterprise, an industry-leading platform for operational intelligence, you can detect, investigate, and respond to security threats more quickly and effectively. Rapid7 solutions collect, contextualize, and analyze data from Splunk Enterprise, equipping you to better protect against increasingly deceptive and pervasive adversaries.

Gain asset risk context during attacks with Rapid7 InsightVM

Rapid7 InsightVM is the only vulnerability assessment solution that analyzes risk across vulnerabilities, configurations, and controls with awareness of the threat landscape faced by modern networks.

Vulnerability data from InsightVM’s scanning activities feeds into Splunk software so you can create alerts, raise alarms, or take other operational actions when attacks are happening on assets affected by vulnerabilities. This provides more insight into the current risk state of an organization’s infrastructure.

Detect and investigate user-focused incidents with Rapid7 InsightIDR

Rapid7 InsightIDR detects and investigates indicators of user compromise across your endpoints to your cloud services, so you don’t miss any attacks—including those attempted by intruders hiding behind stolen credentials (today’s most common attack tactic).

You can feed data from Splunk Enterprise into InsightIDR to detect and investigate compromised user accounts and malware, and gain direct visibility into their endpoints. The combination gives you multiple visualization and investigation options, while providing defense-in-depth with pre-built user and Attacker Behavior Analytics (ABA) and deception technology.

Rapid7 InsightVM and InsightIDR Integration with Splunk Enterprise

Leverage the Common Information Model (CIM) with the Rapid7 Technology Add-On for Splunk

The Rapid7 Technology Add-On for Splunk complies with the Common Information Model (CIM), opening up Rapid7 security data and analytics to any other CIM-compliant application. CIM is an open standard that defines how managed IT systems are represented as a common set of objects and the relationships between them. This is intended to allow consistent maintenance of these managed elements, independent of their manufacturers or providers.
