Monitor Bitwarden events using Splunk for SIEM Management
Learn how Bitwarden and Splunk integrate together to provide security information and event management (SIEM) for defense against malicious attacks and network breaches.
Splunk is a security and observability tool used to provide visibility on large amounts of data for multi-cloud and on-premise deployments. The solution delivers insights on critical metrics such as uptime, anomalies, outages, suspicious activity, and more. With these cloud observability insights, Splunk can detect malicious activity and notify IT, DevOps, and SRE teams when a data security event occurs.
Bitwarden and Splunk integrate together to provide security information and event management (SIEM) for defense against malicious attacks and network breaches. SIEM technology identifies potential threats to online applications, while also providing compliance and security management for cloud infrastructure data in near real-time. This is achieved by logging a collection of detailed events that occur across various data sources.
With Bitwarden and Splunk, detailed information on activity across password management activity can be gathered and parsed for SIEM use. Together, the two integrate via an API call to provide valuable insights into a given Bitwarden organization, including information such as user activity, password changes, shared passwords, and more.
Alerts and detailed reports from Bitwarden logs
Insights into employees who have accessed specific credentials
User permissions to ensure users have access to the right credentials available
Offboarding reports that list credentials a former employee had access to, ensuring tighter security and access control
Use Bitwarden API integration to set up SIEM with Splunk by exporting event data from your organization. The Public API can provide information about your organization and users. The Vault Management API provides access to information about encrypted data and is hosted within the Bitwarden CLI client using the serve command on an owned endpoint. Combined, these two APIs will provide a full view of your organization and vault.
Both APIs can be accessed utilizing automated scripts, and event information can be exported then ingested into Splunk for analysis and SIEM management.
