Splunk announced that Splunk Cloud Platform received FedRAMP authorization at a High Impact Level from the General Services Administration (GSA) FedRAMP Program Management Office (PMO).
In reaching the highest level of FedRAMP authorization, Splunk Cloud Platform offers the entire spectrum of security standards necessary for all government agencies to modernize their strategies and adopt the cloud. Federal agencies and their partners can now use the Splunk platform to manage the government’s most sensitive data and enhance their security posture.
FedRAMP is a U.S. government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. Agencies can leverage the FedRAMP Marketplace to select Cloud Service Providers with services that meet their mission requirements.
Splunk Cloud Platform helps agencies reduce overall costs, eliminate time-consuming processes, and leverage their data to address various challenges across their organizations quickly. Splunk’s FedRAMP High compliance status guarantees the implementation of rigorous security controls designed to protect sensitive government data from the most advanced threats and vulnerabilities. By attaining this level of certification, Splunk not only meets the stringent security requirements mandated by federal agencies but also reinforces Splunk's reputation as a trusted partner in the public sector.
"Attaining a FedRAMP High certification was a pivotal goal for our organization as this underscores our continued unwavering commitment to the highest standards of security in the federal space," said Bill Rowan, VP of Public Sector, Splunk. "Splunk's proven track record of delivering innovative and effective security solutions, combined with our commitment to continuous improvement and collaboration, makes us the go-to solution for public sector organizations. As one of the few organizations to achieve FedRAMP High status, this reinforces our position with public sector customers and furthers our contributions to our nation's cybersecurity mission."
In June 2023, Splunk also attained StateRAMP authorization for the Splunk Cloud Platform at a moderate level.

I've spent a lot of time in the channel, and one thing I keep coming back to is this: a partner program is only as good as what it looks like in the field. Many programs look great on paper, but when a partner is in front of a customer navigating a complex hybrid environment or trying to make the case for AI-powered observability, the gap between what a vendor promises and what it actually delivers becomes very clear, very fast ...
Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 24, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses network observability tool sprawl ...
In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
