Hi everyone,
Last year at .conf25, we shared something exciting: Splunk Enterprise Security is evolving into an AI-powered SecOps platform designed to empower every SOC analyst.
This vision took another big step forward at Cisco Live EMEA, where we introduced the general availability of Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) Premier for both cloud and customer-managed environments. This was a major milestone in our journey toward powering the Agentic SOC and reimagining what effective security operations can look like.
As ES continues to evolve, our goal is to bring together data, analytics, tooling, and AI across the entire threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) lifecycle. To support different customer needs, we now offer two editions:
- Splunk Enterprise Security Essentials, enabling comprehensive visibility, empower accurate detection with context, and fuel operational efficiency. This foundation enables you to detect what matters, investigate holistically, and respond rapidly.
- Splunk Enterprise Security Premier, everything in Essentials plus advanced data management, native integrations across industry-leading SIEM, SOAR, UEBA, threat intelligence, and detection engineering technologies, and embedded AI to supercharge analysts.
Questions We’ll Answer Live
To help you better understand how these editions compare, what capabilities they include, real-world use cases, and anything else you’re curious about, we’re hosting a Community Office Hour dedicated to Splunk Enterprise Security Essentials & Premier.
Whether you’re evaluating an upgrade or exploring new capabilities, our experts can walk through:
- What is available in Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) Premier that is not available in Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) Essentials?
- What makes ES Essentials better than ES 7.X?
- What new or improved use cases should I expect ES Premier to help me deliver?
- What should I consider or prepare if I’m currently using ES Essentials and planning to migrate to ES Premier?
- Anything else you’d like to learn!
