Program Overview: What is Splunk for Security and Operations Analytics?
Splunk for Security & Operations Analytics is Edstellar's instructor-led technical program for SOC analysts, security engineers, and operations teams defending live environments. Participants onboard security data into Splunk, write detection searches, and build dashboards, alerts, and reports tuned for incident response. The program covers investigation and threat hunting workflows used in real security operations centers.
Training mirrors a working SOC from day one. Participants onboard data and build searches in guided labs, then develop detection logic against realistic attack scenarios with instructor coaching on both technique and analyst judgment. Every alert and dashboard earns direct feedback before it counts, so sloppy logic gets corrected in the room. The program closes with a capstone where each analyst delivers a complete SOC analytics build-out.
Security teams without solid analytics drown in logs: missed detections, noisy alerts, and investigations that start from scratch every time. This program teaches them to engineer detection searches, tune alert logic, and run structured threat hunting workflows. Every method is rehearsed in labs, so analysts respond to incidents with process instead of panic.
The capstone is a SOC analytics build-out the analyst assembles from raw data: onboarded sources, detection searches with documented logic, tuned alerts, and a threat hunting workflow they can run on their first shift back. It is the difference between having Splunk in the SOC and having a SOC in Splunk.
Six modules and 24 hours: Splunk setup and onboarding, SPL foundations, detection searches, dashboards and alerting, and investigation and hunting workflows. Every module pairs concepts with a guided lab, so each technique is practiced. It closes with a capstone analytics build-out the team onboards, detects, hunts through, and presents.
Delivery is hybrid across virtual and onsite sessions, scheduled around your calendar. Cohorts train as one group or split into batches, with session materials and lab guides included for every participant.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
Splunk for security comes after SOC experience and core Splunk skills, because analysts need to know both the workflow and the search language. Security analytics in Splunk then supports threat hunting based on intelligence about adversaries.

Connect Splunk Security Searches With Evidence-Based Investigation and Handoffs
Edstellar develops security analytics through data onboarding, detection searches, and investigation scenarios. Participants build reusable SPL, dashboards, and alerts before reconstructing a simulated incident. A SOC analytics package is reviewed for traceable findings, useful detections, and case documentation that clearly communicates both evidence and uncertainty.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore security or operations familiarity, log-analysis experience, and investigation challenges to identify priorities in onboarding, SPL, detection logic, and incident reconstruction.
- Step 02
Plan
Platform and data foundations lead into SPL, detection use cases, dashboards, and hunting before a complete analytics build-out for a simulated SOC.
- Step 03
Align
Security analytics and Splunk expertise supports analysts, engineers, and operations teams, matching investigative depth to their monitoring responsibilities and familiarity with event data.
- Step 04
Customize
Sample security logs and fictional breach timelines recreate realistic pivots without exposing operational telemetry, customer systems, or confidential investigation records.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants extract fields, build detection searches, and investigate across sourcetypes, receiving feedback on evidence links, timeline accuracy, alert usefulness, and handoff clarity.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the analytics package for coherent data onboarding, justified detection logic, supported hunt findings, and documentation that enables another analyst to follow the investigation.
