Splunk Pricing in 2026: Full Cost Breakdown (and How to Cut It)

Splunk charges you in one of two ways: by how much data you send it each day, or by how much compute your searches and dashboards use. Security teams pay for both the platform and Splunk Enterprise Security, the app that turns Splunk into a SIEM, which is priced separately on top. This guide breaks down every part of a 2026 Splunk bill, works through a real, sourced pricing example, and lays out the ways to bring the number down, including the one lever many teams overlook.

SEO isn't just a marketing KPI anymore. It's a security one.

On this episode of Masters of Data, we sat down with Patrick Kobly, who runs security for a boutique MSSP serving fintech, crypto, and gaming clients, to dig into how phishing has evolved past the obvious tells. Kobly walks through how attackers spin up reverse proxies behind Cloudflare, route through residential IPs to dodge reputation-based blocking, and can take a fake domain from registration to full attack in under five hours. The conversation turns into an unexpected case for treating SEO as a security discipline, since search rank and AI-generated results are now part of the attack surface too.

Sending HighPriority Messages from OnPage's Dispatcher

See how OnPage Dispatcher helps teams centralize and streamline time-sensitive communication.

We also show how the communication is bi-directional, and responses can be seen within the dispatcher, with a complete audit trail.

From alert to answer: a hands-on investigation with trace analysis in Mezmo

Authored by Sven Delmas, VP of Research at Mezmo I wanted to know what Mezmo's new trace features feel like with real telemetry behind them, so I built the smallest honest rig I could: the OpenTelemetry demo application running in a local Kubernetes-in-Docker cluster on my machine, one collector, and one deliberately simple Mezmo pipeline.

Finding Balance in an Always-On Job

Being in IT is already a job that can take its toll, with always-on hours and constant notifications, it can be a heavy mental load. And when it comes to IT leadership, the responsibilities pile up even more. You now maintain responsibility over an infrastructure that needs to stay on, you interact with every part of the business, and you have to manage the careers of direct reports on your team. All of that can add up to more hours than you have in a day.

Shipped: Personalized cost access, powered by SSO

Instead of building a separate role for every team, region, or department, admins can create a single role that automatically personalizes access for each user based on their SSO attributes. Someone moves teams or a new group gets created, and the new access takes effect at their next login with no CloudZero configuration. As AI spend grows, more companies are looking to give teams visibility into their own AI costs without exposing every individual’s usage across the org.
