Splunk Acquisition and The Blob with Allie Mellen - ESW #333

Enterprise Security Weekly (Video)

This week, we changed things up a bit for the news segment and Allie Mellen joins us as a surprise guest host! We discuss Cisco's Splunk acquisition and what it means for Splunk customers, and "The Blob" - Allie's term describing the negative forces responsible for much of the overhyped marketing, silly trends, and substandard products we see in the industry.
