Splunk Rebuilds Its Platform Around Agents
SilconANGLE, Tuesday, September 15th, 2026
SiliconANGLE reports that Cisco's Splunk unit re-architected its platform around AI agents at .conf26.
SiliconANGLE details what Splunk calls a fundamental reimagining rather than an incremental refresh, aimed at an agentic enterprise where machine-generated telemetry dwarfs human activity.
Central to the shift is Cisco Data Fabric, an architecture that analyzes data where it resides instead of forcing costly duplication into Splunk's index.
The company also detailed domain-specific models layered on frontier AI, a Cisco AI POD for Splunk for on-premises regulated deployments, an expanded agentic security operations center, Agent Observability for monitoring models and guardrails, and Tokenomics for tracking token consumption across models and coding tools.
