Splunk® Glossary: Event-Based Detection
How do security teams keep watch across thousands or even millions of daily activities?
In Splunk®, event-based detection works like a real-time security scanner that examines every action happening across your systems. Instead of reacting after problems stack up, it evaluates each event the moment it occurs and flags patterns that might signal a threat.
Every login, file access, network request, or process launch creates an event. Event-based detection reviews these one by one and asks: Is this normal, or could it be part of an attack? When something looks off, such as repeated failed logins or access to files that do not match a user’s role, Splunk generates an alert so security teams can investigate right away.
Why it matters for your career:Organizations need people who can build and tune these detections so they catch real threats without overwhelming analysts with noise. You do not need a cybersecurity degree to learn this. You need the ability to think through what normal behavior looks like and notice when something does not fit.
Through Ableversity’s Splunk training, you will learn how to create event-based detections and gain the practical skills employers look for in security operations roles.
