Key highlights

We released new analytic stories and detections to strengthen visibility and defense.

Following is a summary of the latest updates:

  • Cisco Network Visibility Module Analytics: Introduced a new analytic story leveraging Cisco NVM telemetry to detect suspicious endpoint network behavior. This release includes 14 analytics and mapped existing detections covering threats such as insecure curl usage, typosquatted Python packages, abuse of native Windows tools such as rundll32 and mshta , and anomalous network connections from uncommon or argument-less processes.

  • Disk Wiper: Released a new analytic story focused on identifying destructive malware that irreversibly erases disk data, with tagged detections targeting recursive file deletion and raw access to disk volumes and the primary boot record.

  • ​​CrowdStrike EDR Playbook pack for Splunk SOAR:Shipped a new playbook pack that turns on automated investigation, enrichment, and response using CrowdStrike Falcon, helping security teams streamline endpoint operations with playbooks for actions such as device isolation, process termination, file handling, and denylisting executables.

Huge shoutout to the fellow Splunker Christian Cloutier, Bryan Pluta and our Github contributors (sventec, 0xC0FFEEEE ) for contributing to this release. These additions strengthen security teams' ability to detect and respond to emerging threats across critical enterprise platforms.
