Are you a Cisco Security customer seeking deeper, more centralized insights into your security posture? The Enhancing Cisco Security Solutions with Data Analytics (ECSS) Learning Path in Cisco U. is designed to help you do just that. This comprehensive Learning Path focuses on the powerful integration of Cisco Security products with Splunk, offering a streamlined approach to data analysis and a unified view of your security landscape.
Too many dashboards, not enough insight
Cisco products offer fantastic options for meeting all your security data needs, but without Splunk, you may need to use multiple dashboards or manually correlate data from various sources.
This can lead to:
- Inefficiencies: Spending valuable time switching between dashboards and manually correlating data.
- Delayed response: Difficulty identifying and responding to threats in real-time, particularly AI threats.
- Increased complexity: The sheer volume of data and the lack of a unified view can easily overwhelm anyone.
The solution: Cisco and Splunk for unified security intelligence
There’s a way to get all these insights streamlined into one dashboard.
Splunk provides a unified platform for data aggregation, analysis, and visualization, offering a single pane of glass into your entire security ecosystem, including any operational technology (OT) networks that might have been previously siloed.
Here’s how you’ll benefit:
- Centralized data collection: Aggregate data from all your Cisco security products into a single Splunk instance.
- Customizable dashboards: Create tailored dashboards that provide the specific insights you need.
- Real-time monitoring: Monitor your security environment in real-time and respond to threats faster.
- Enhanced operational efficiency: Reduce complexity and streamline your security workflows.
- Improved decision-making: Make informed decisions based on comprehensive and accurate data.
What does ECSS cover?
The ECSS Learning Path covers introductory to intermediate-level knowledge of Splunk and how to use it for detecting, investigating, and responding to security threats across your entire network, whether on-site or used by a contractor globally.
There are six tracks:
- Track 1: The Basics of Observability
- Track 2: Cisco, including Cisco XDR, Splunk SIEM, and Splunk SOAR.
- Track 3: Cisco Cloud Security App
- Track 4: Cisco Security Legacy Apps and Technology Add-Ons
- Track 5: Cisco Security with Splunk Use Cases

A free pre-release of Tracks 1 and 3 is now available on Cisco U. The rest, including all labs, will be released later in the Summer of 2025.
