Splunk: Deal-Closing Rate Rebounded In Fourth Quarter
Company sees continued demand for its big data platform for digital security tasks, says SolarWinds attack highlights the need for “timely detection capabilities.” By Rick Whiting March 04, 2021, 03:10 PM EST

Splunk CEO Doug Merritt (pictured), during an earnings call with financial analysts, also noted that the fallout from the SolarWinds cybersecurity attack points to the value of the Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud platforms and Splunk Enterprise Security solution for detecting and responding to cybersecurity hacks.

The benefits of adopting cloud are indisputable, but the resulting architectural complexity has obscured the vision of IT professionals.
