Maximizing Security Data in Splunk with Tripwire’s New App

In today’s data-driven world, collecting information is just the beginning. The real value lies in transforming raw data into actionable insights that drive decisions. For enterprise security, this means making data not only accessible but also organized, relevant, and easy to analyze.

Splunk is a powerful tool for analyzing large volumes of data and is widely used to support security operations. For Tripwire Enterprise (TE) users, consolidating multi-console data into Splunk offers added benefits. The Tripwire Enterprise Splunk App brings compliance, change, and asset data into a single, user-friendly platform. This integration not only simplifies reporting and compliance tracking but also enhances the value of existing Splunk configurations, complementing other security tools and workflows. The app makes virtually all of TE’s raw data more easily accessible and efficient to use.

While Tripwire Enterprise provides organizations with crucial cybersecurity information, policies, and controls, the Tripwire Enterprise Splunk App brings these two powerful platforms together into a robust protective tool for your enterprise.

What’s New in Version 3.3.0

The latest version of the Tripwire Enterprise Splunk App represents a significant step forward, both in terms of functionality and user experience. Here are some key highlights:

1. Enhanced Data Insights

The app now includes data on waivers, providing deeper visibility into compliance exceptions. Additionally, a summarized view of the enterprise compliance posture offers a more comprehensive understanding of compliance trends over time. Users can also view approvals associated with changes, ensuring greater transparency and accountability in change management.

2. Complete Dashboard Coverage

We’ve integrated all dashboards from the legacy app, as well as the most popular dashboards from Tripwire Connect, into this release, ensuring full coverage of all previously available metrics. Customers can now seamlessly switch to the new data flow without losing access to any critical views or reports. For new users, the installation process is simple.

3. Tag-Based Asset Management

The new TE Asset View now includes potent support for tags and tagsets. This enhancement empowers you to group and filter assets intuitively, enabling more precise monitoring and reporting on critical resources.

A Major Leap Forward

For Tripwire Enterprise users, the app provides a unified view of data from multiple consoles, leveraging Splunk’s user-friendly framework to improve interpretation and analysis. Tripwire Enterprise users can harness Splunk’s robust visualization and reporting capabilities to analyze compliance change and asset data from TE, leading to faster response times.

Enhancing Security Data in Splunk

The Tripwire Enterprise Splunk App is designed to complement and enhance both platforms. By integrating Tripwire’s substantial compliance and change data with Splunk’s powerful analytics capabilities, users can:

• Gain the greatest holistic view of their security environment by federating data from multiple consoles.
• Streamline reporting and compliance tracking.
• Leverage Splunk’s flexibility to create tailored dashboards and alerts using Tripwire data.

Simplifying Connect Data Integration

The new Tripwire Splunk app also enables users to easily bring virtually all Connect data into Splunk. This solution delivers the best of what users love about Connect: integrated multi-console platform support, access to critical data, and the flexibility of Splunk – all in one streamlined package.

Why This Matters

By switching to version 3.3.0 of the Tripwire Enterprise Splunk App, you’re not just upgrading an app you’re gaining a more robust and scalable solution for:

• Compliance Monitoring: Meet audit and compliance requirements with tailored reports and dashboards.
• Threat Detection: Quickly identify misconfigurations and policy violations.
• Operational Efficiency: Streamline your processes with enhanced data flows and integrations.

For existing users, the app allows a seamless transition from older versions while maintaining existing dashboards. This ensures you can continue your operations without disruption before fully transitioning to the new features.
