The map command in Splunk allows executing secondary searches based on the results of a primary search.
It is particularly useful in cybersecurity for uncovering indicators of compromise (IOCs) and analyzing user activity patterns.
An example usage of the map command is for detecting brute force attempts by identifying users with multiple failed login attempts followed by a successful login within a short time frame.
While the map command is powerful, it can be resource-intensive and should be used cautiously.
