Splunk SIEM Overview

Overview

Every internet-facing device is constantly bombarded by scanners, bots, and automated tools — generating thousands of false-positive alerts that overwhelm SOC teams and bury real threats.

The GreyNoise App for Splunk seamlessly integrates GreyNoise's massive dataset of internet intelligence directly into your Splunk environment. By correlating your internal network traffic with GreyNoise's real-time data, you can instantly distinguish between targeted attacks and opportunistic internet background noise. This allows analysts to ignore harmless scanners and focus investigations on true, targeted threats.

Key Capabilities

  • SPL-Native Threat Hunting: Query GreyNoise from Splunk SPL for IP enrichment, GNQL search, Recall activity, Psychic lookups, CVE context, IP timelines, and Callback intelligence.
  • Pre-Built Visual Dashboards: Dashboards for environment overview, executive firewall and VPN analysis, queried IP history, live investigation, IP timeline, and Callback IP lookup.
  • Advanced Risk Scoring & CIM Integration: Fully CIM-mapped with native Splunk ES support for Adaptive Response Actions and automated Risk Score adjustments.
  • Local Threat Feeds: Daily GreyNoise indicator ingestion into local lookup tables, with an optional community dataset and a separate Callback IP feed, for correlations that do not call the API on every search.
  • Automated Background Scanning & Caching: Continuously cross-reference active IPs against GreyNoise data with configurable caching to preserve API quota.
