[Register Here]  This thread is for the EMEA Community Office Hours session on  Enterprise Security Essentials & Premier on Wednesday, May 20, 2026 at 10 am BST / 11 am CEST. 

Ask the experts at Community Office Hours! An ongoing series where technical Splunk experts answer questions and provide how-to guidance on various Splunk product and use case topics.

While this session is scheduled as an EMEA office hour for time zone convenience, it is open to everyone—if the time works for you, we’d love to have you join us.

What can I ask in this AMA?

• What is available in Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) Premier that is not available in Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) Essentials?
• What makes Enterprise Security Essentials better than ES 7.X?
• What new or improved use cases should I expect 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?
• What will happen to my dashboards, configurations, and investigations if I upgrade from ES Essentials to ES Premier?
• What sort of education or professional services are available for me to build an expert practice in ES Essentials or ES Premier?
• What does the SOAR integration look like for ES Essentials and ES Premier?
• How does UEBA integrate with ES Premier?
• Anything else you’d like to learn!

Please submit your questions at registration. You can also head to the #office-hours user Slack channel to ask questions (sign in with SSO here). 

Pre-submitted questions will be prioritized. After that, we will open the floor up to live Q&A with meeting participants.

Look forward to connecting!
