How does Splunk ensure data security?

Splunk ensures data security primarily through encryption and user role management. Encryption is critical for protecting data at both rest and in transit. Data at rest refers to data stored on disk, while data in transit pertains to data being sent over networks. By employing encryption protocols, Splunk helps prevent unauthorized access and protects sensitive information from potential breaches.

In addition to encryption, user role management is vital for ensuring that only authorized personnel can view or manipulate specific datasets. By defining roles and permissions, Splunk allows administrators to control access to various features and data, ensuring that users only engage with information necessary for their roles. This combination of encryption and role management provides a robust framework for safeguarding data against unauthorized access and potential security threats.
