Our Approach

Traditional SIEM solutions struggle to keep pace with the ever growing set of data sources and increasing contextual complexity. 10 years ago collecting data from firewalls, IDS sensors, and operating systems and normalizing the data for querying held promise. Today, that approach simply isn’t enough. Modern security organizations require platforms that can query valuable contextual information from unique data sources rather than normalizing it away. Security organizations must also begin to adopt the doctrine of automation from the DevOps movement to keep pace with today’s attackers.

At NuHarbor Security we view Splunk as a central cog to the security machine and seek to leverage automated integration wherever possible to reduce manual overhead. NuHarbor Security also understands that log and event data contain an immense amount of value for more than just the security organization, and knows how to leverage the data analytics and automation services provided by Splunk throughout the enterprise.

NuHarbor Security utilizes Splunk’s industry leading next generation data analytics platform to provide cohesive analytics services by leveraging existing machine data. The flexibility of our Splunk Managed Services platform allows us to host your Splunk environment on dedicated instances managed by NuHarbor Security in our cloud, or on your own on premise platform in order to meet your unique business requirements. Regardless of the deployment model, you maintain full access, visibility, and usability of your data.
