Splunk’s Ashok Sankar: Granular Data Visibility Key to Ensuring Cloud Security

Ashok Sankar, director of industry marketing, public sector and education at Splunk (Nasdaq: SPLK), said agencies moving to the cloud to accommodate remote work should have granular visibility into data in order to generate security and operational insights.

ā€œAccess to granular data enables continuous monitoring of the cloud service, resulting in a better security posture and enabling timely risk-based decisions,ā€ he wrote.

Sankar cited Splunkā€™s analytics-driven platform and how it helps ensure cloud security by automating the process of examining large volumes of telemetry data to derive insights and offering organizations a ā€œsingle pane of glassā€ to provide holistic situational awareness needed to facilitate the decision-making process.

He noted that improved visibility could help agencies speed up security posture evaluations and investigations, automate responses to counter threats and ensure compliance via continuous monitoring.

ā€œAgencies can proactively address threats and manage risk with the ability to identify anomalous network traffic, prioritize security investigations, and automate policy changes and updates based on malicious activity,ā€ Sankar added.

Sankar also mentioned the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, which he said has become the ā€œgold standard for cloud security.”
