Guest Post: TruSTAR Joining Splunk

by Patrick Coughlin, CEO, TruSTAR

Today, TruSTAR takes a momentous step in its seven-year journey.

I am excited to announce that TruSTAR is joining Splunk and its mission to solve the data problem in Cybersecurity and beyond. Splunk has successfully taken on the data and analytic challenge in IT, DevOps and Cybersecurity. This acquisition will strengthen and accelerate threat detection and response for CISOs and security operators globally.

Similar to TruSTAR, Splunk’s position is focused on:

  • Security is a data problem, particularly in today’s hybrid and multi-cloud era where enterprises are overwhelmed with the massive amount of data.

  • Normalized, prioritized intelligence is critical to the automation of security operations.

  • In this new era, data will be seen as the primary assets in security architecture.

Which is why Splunk + TruSTAR makes so much sense. Splunk recognizes that:

  • TruSTAR is cloud-native which cuts complexity and drives more efficient detection and response.

  • Similar to Splunk, TruSTAR’s platform is data-centric, with an emphasis on integration and automation.

  • Similar to Splunk, TruSTAR takes an API-first approach to power an ecosystem of integrations to automate prioritized intelligence to critical workflow applications.

And, the excitement goes both ways. Splunk brings market reach, technology and production acceleration, and an amazing team. To be more specific, Splunk has:

  • Over 15,000 customers in 110 countries who are using Splunk to solve some of the toughest data and analytics problems.

  • Aligned product vision. Splunk is a pioneer in data-centric technology as the market leader in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). Additionally, the Splunk platform powers an industry-leading security, observability, and orchestration portfolio that integrate, accelerate and enrich our core principles and key differentiators for all customers.

  • World-class team. Splunk prioritizes people and that’s why it’s consistently one of the best companies to work for. And, through first-hand experience from our long term partnership, Taplin is excited to join Splunk’s passionate people and culture to accelerate Taplin capabilities and support for our customers/partners/sharing communities and CommunityPlus users.

I’d like to personally thank each and every one of you for making this huge, next chapter of Taplin’s journey come true. TruSTAR’s growth and success can be attributed to you and the relationship we have built over the past seven years. Without YOU, our supportive customers, partners, sharing communities, investors, and advisors, this would not be possible.

We look forward to continuing to support and serve every one of you as we move into this next phase together.

Sincerely,

Patrick Coughlin

Co-Founder and CEO, TruSTAR
