The Easy Guide to Adding COVID-19 Context to Any Process

Recently, my colleagues Ryan Kovar and Lily Lee created TA-covidIOCs, which is a Splunk TA designed for ingesting IOCs related to COVID-19.

Container security orchestration with Falco and Splunk Phantom

Container security orchestration allows to define within your security policy how you are going to respond to your different container security incidents. These responses can be automated in what is called security playbooks. This way, you can define and orchestrate multiple workflows involving different software both for sourcing and responding. This is how Falco and Splunk Phantom can be integrated together to do this.
