We at Splunk are excited to kick off a new series of blogs dedicated to helping you understand the compliance landscape and new feature opportunities in the next platform upgrade for Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud Platform. Each edition will provide essential updates for Splunk administrators and application developers, focusing on key benefits and modernizations. Think of this series as a one-stop-shop and look back on new announcements and required actions to prepare your environment and applications for the next upgrade. 

At .conf24, we shared that we were in the process of integrating Cisco Talos threat intelligence into Splunk Enterprise Security, Splunk SOAR, and Splunk Attack Analyzer. We know just how eager the community has been to see these integrations come to fruition, so we’re thrilled to share that all of the integrations are live for Splunk Security (cloud) customers.

This blog post aims to give Splunk customers (both Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud) a heads-up about the actions they’ll need to take to prepare for upgrading to a Splunk version(coming soon) that will upgrade its core cryptographic library from OpenSSL 1.0.2 to OpenSSL 3. Splunk may additionally produce an Upgrade Readiness experience that will assist customers in identifying specific action items they need to take, but we don’t want to wait for such tooling to become available to start taking action.
