Integration · Splunk

Stream every device security event into Splunk, in real time.

When a device's security score changes or a vulnerability is found, 4Remote sends the full device record to your Splunk instance for indexing, alerting, and SIEM correlation. No polling, no scheduled exports.

Background

What Splunk does, and where 4Remote fits.

Splunk is a platform for searching, monitoring, and analysing machine-generated data. Security teams use Splunk as a SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) tool to detect threats, investigate incidents, and meet compliance and audit requirements. It only delivers value when the data flowing in is fresh, structured, and correlated with the rest of your stack.

Search and analytics

Index, search, and visualise machine data at scale. Power dashboards, ad-hoc queries, and saved searches.

SIEM correlation

Correlate events across firewalls, endpoints, identity, and cloud sources to spot multi-step attacks.

Alerting and reporting

Trigger alerts on saved searches and produce audit-ready reports for compliance frameworks.

Machine data

Splunk's value comes from the breadth and freshness of the data it ingests. The catch: device security context (vulnerabilities, posture, risk score) often lives in a separate platform, leaving your SIEM half-blind to which endpoint a given event belongs to.

Why Integrate

Bring device security context into your SIEM.

4Remote streams every meaningful change in device security straight into Splunk, with the full device record attached. Your analysts get the same context in Splunk that they would by logging into 4Remote, without leaving their workflow.

Real-time visibility

Device security events appear in Splunk as they happen, not on a polling cycle.

SIEM correlation

Correlate device vulnerabilities with other security events across your stack.

Alerting

Fire Splunk alerts when devices become non-compliant or pick up critical CVEs.

Compliance reporting

Build dashboards and audit-ready reports straight from indexed device events.

Historical analysis

Track device security posture over time and spot trends without manual exports.

Splunk-only

Four triggers, one event stream.

Whenever any of the following happens to a device, the full device record is pushed to Splunk. The event_type field tells you which one.

Security score changes

The device's calculated security score is recalculated after a vulnerability or compliance change.

event_type: score_changed

New vulnerability found

A CVE has been matched to a device through a vulnerability scan or feed.

event_type: vulnerability_found

Vulnerability resolved

A vulnerability is marked as patched, mitigated, or otherwise no longer applicable.

event_type: vulnerability_resolved

Batch of vulnerabilities

Multiple CVEs are matched to a single device in the same evaluation cycle.

event_type: vulnerabilities_batch_found
Event payload

The full device record, every event.

Each event sent to Splunk is the complete device record. No diffing, no summary, no separate API call needed to get context. Your alert has everything an analyst needs to triage on the spot.

Fields included in every event
  • Device detailsMAC address, IP address, hostname, OS vendor, model, version
  • Security scoreCurrent calculated score, recalculated on every change
  • VulnerabilitiesEvery associated CVE with severity and CVSS score
  • Zero Trust statusesCurrent status assignments on the device's user
  • Network scan dataBonjour, DHCP, port scan, SMB, and other discovery results
  • Device ownerAssociated user name and email address
  • ManufacturerResolved from OUI lookup against the device's MAC address
  • Event metadataevent_type, tenant_id, and ISO-8601 timestamp

Sourcetype

All events are sent with sourcetype=4remote:device for easy filtering, dashboarding, and saved searches in Splunk.

Real-world example

What happens when a critical CVE drops.

An employee's laptop picks up a critical vulnerability. Here is what 4Remote and Splunk do, in seconds, end to end. No human in the loop until the alert fires.

Scenario

An employee's laptop has a critical vulnerability discovered during a routine scan.

  1. T+0s

    Vulnerability detected

    Scheduled scan flags CVE-2024-1234 at Critical severity on DESKTOP-J4N3.

  2. T+1s

    Score recalculated

    4Remote drops the device's security score from 87 to 42 and reassigns the user to Quarantine.

  3. T+2s

    Event sent to Splunk vulnerability_found

    Full device record posted to the HTTP Event Collector with sourcetype=4remote:device.

  4. T+2s

    Event sent to Splunk score_changed

    Companion event with the new score and Zero Trust status, posted in the same cycle.

  5. T+3s

    Indexed and searchable

    Splunk indexes both events. They are now visible in dashboards and ready for ad-hoc search.

  6. T+3s

    Saved search fires alert

    A saved search watching for severity=Critical matches the new event and fires a notable.

  7. T+4s

    Analyst notified

    The on-call analyst receives the alert with the full device record attached: hostname, owner, CVE, score, scan data. Triage starts immediately.

Timeline: detection to indexed alert, in seconds. Your SIEM stays current with no polling and no manual exports.
