Abstract + Splunk

Cut Costs and Speed Detection
Without Losing Context

Splunk delivers powerful search, correlation, and analytics across massive datasets, with a flexible Workload Pricing Model that scales to meet enterprise needs.

Abstract Security complements this by reducing data volumes before ingestion, enriching events in real time, and applying streaming detections at scale. The result is faster insights, lower costs, and greater efficiency—helping organizations maximize the value of every SVC credit and storage block.

Top 3 Reasons To Use Abstract With Splunk

Reduce Costs While Preserving Visibility
Accelerate Analytics and Detections
Simplify Data Onboarding and Management
1

Splunk’s Workload Pricing model ties cost to Splunk Virtual Compute (SVC) and storage usage, offering flexibility as data volumes grow.

1

Abstract reduces raw data by 60–80% through in-stream filtering, summarization, and enrichment before it reaches Splunk.

1

Together: Security teams cut ingestion and storage costs significantly while keeping the fidelity Splunk analytics depend on.

1

Splunk delivers powerful search, correlation, and visualization across massive datasets.

1

Abstract enriches events with identity, asset, and threat intelligence, and applies thousands of detections as data streams in.

1

Together: Analysts receive high-signal, contextualized data faster, reducing mean time to detect from hours to seconds.

1

Splunk supports data collection through forwarders, HEC, and scripted inputs for broad coverage.

1

Abstract adds SaaS-native API connectors with built-in reliability and flexible routing to cloud storage tiers.

1

Together: Organizations onboard new sources quickly and manage hybrid retention strategies with less operational overhead.

Ideal Use Case

Simplified Data Ingestion

Splunk supports data collection through forwarders, HEC, and scripted inputs, providing flexibility for diverse environments. Abstract streamlines the process with SaaS-native, no-code connectors that normalize and enrich data in transit, cutting down on manual setup. This makes it easier to get the right data into Splunk quickly and consistently.

Optimized SVC and Storage Usage

Splunk’s Workload Pricing lets organizations scale compute and storage with demand, but high-volume data can drive up costs. Abstract reduces raw volumes by up to 80% before they reach Splunk and can route less critical logs to cost-effective storage. Teams maximize every SVC and storage block while keeping full visibility.

Accelerated Analytics and Detections

Splunk delivers powerful queries, dashboards, and correlations at scale. Abstract enriches and detects in-stream—adding identity, asset, and threat intel before forwarding events. Security teams work with higher-fidelity data, leading to faster investigations, more accurate alerts, and shorter mean time to detect.

Real-Time Insight

Splunk generates alerts and analytics once data is indexed. Abstract runs streaming detections with thousands of out-of-the-box rules, surfacing threats as the data flows. Analysts gain immediate context for rapid response, with Splunk providing the depth for full analysis and visualization.
