SAN FRANCISCO, April 21 /PRNewswire/ --

- Fully-integrated Security Event Monitoring, Incident Response, Log
Management and Compliance Reporting is Massively Scalable, Cost Effective and
Easy-to-deploy and Use

Splunk, the IT Search company, and GlassHouse Technologies, a global IT
consulting and services firm, announced today the immediate availability of
the Splunk Enterprise Security Suite (ESS). Jointly developed by Splunk and
GlassHouse, Splunk ESS brings the power of enterprise security information
and event management together with the fast ad-hoc search, flexibility,
scalability and easy-to-deploy benefits of Splunk in one integrated suite.
For the first time, enterprises with limited security resources can harness
the power of Splunk to turn all their IT data into security-relevant
information.

As the search engine for IT data, Splunk can index logs, events and
activities generated by any application, server or network device without
complex connectors, custom parsers or expensive database deployments.
GlassHouse adds security operations domain knowledge that Splunk ESS users
can now leverage to correlate IT data and provide insight into the security
posture of their organizations. Splunk ESS is a robust solution that
integrates security, compliance and operations activities and enables
enterprises to achieve faster incident response, more comprehensive security
and compliance reporting and lower security operations costs.

The Splunk Enterprise Security Suite is immediately available directly
through Splunk, its channel partners and as a managed service offering,
called Interrogate, through co-development partner GlassHouse. Splunk and
GlassHouse are currently delivering Splunk ESS and Interrogate to Motorola
and other enterprise customers.

Splunk ESS is an enterprise-class security suite built on the Splunk
Common Information Model (SCIM) and supports both Common Event Expression
(CEE) and Common Event Format (CEF) for interoperability of event data with
other security and log management solutions.

Today's enterprise security environment is characterized by an
increasingly dynamic threat landscape driving a rapid escalation in the
number of potential security incidents and the cost of dealing with
increasing risk and exposure. In their "2009 Market Outlook for IT Security",
Forrester Research estimates the cost of enterprise security operations will
increase by 18% in 2009 over 2008.

"This first release of the Enterprise Security Suite demonstrates the
power to create breakthrough applications that leverage the Splunk engine and
its universal indexing. Making all IT data universally available means we can
knock down the silos that have traditionally kept individual security,
compliance and operational functions separate and cost IT organizations a lot
of money," said Michael Baum, Chief Corporate & Business Development Officer
and Co-founder, Splunk.

"Leveraging Splunk's powerful engine has allowed us to create security
services providing significant business value to our customers," said Mark
Shirman, Chief Executive Officer, GlassHouse. "Our managed service offering,
Interrogate, helps customers understand how to use the data in their log
files to better manage their security environment. Together, GlassHouse and
Splunk have created the next evolution in IT security management."

The Splunk Enterprise Security Suite is a collection of security
applications consisting of packaged searches, correlations, reports,
dashboards, visualizations and analysis integrating a wide variety of
security use cases including:

-- Security Posture Overview
    -- Compliance Reporting
    -- Endpoint Protection
    -- Event Monitoring
    -- Incident Response
