Here are a few top of mind questions from the live Tech Talk

 

Q. If I have ES and SOAR, what version of ES and SOAR do I need to take advantage of the unified TDIR workflows across the two products?

A. 

  • ES 8.x
  • SOAR 6.3 and above

Q. Can you clarify, if I have ES and SOAR, do I need the ES Premier license for unified TDIR workflows?

A. No, but you will need to pair ES and SOAR and you can do that only for the combinations below:

  • ES Cloud & SOAR Cloud
  • ES CMP & SOAR CMP Standalone
  • ES Cloud & SOAR CMP Standalone (hybrid)

Those unified workflows however would not have things like Asset Risk Scoring or UEBA.

Q. What additional value would I actually get with ES Premier if I already have ES and SOAR today?

A. ES Premier product is Splunk’s most powerful and and seamless AI-powered SecOps platform. By bringing together the next-generation of our SIEM, SOAR, and UEBA together in one seamless experience…we arm every analyst with full visibility, industry-leading tooling, and built-in automation for everyone in the SOC…to quickly identify and stop evolving threats.
