This session will review Splunk’s two premium solutions for information security organizations: Splunk for Enterprise Security (ES) and Splunk User Behavior Analytics (UBA). Splunk ES is Splunk's award-winning security intelligence solution that brings immediate value for continuous monitoring across SOC and incident response environments – allowing you to quickly detect and respond to external and internal attacks, simplifying threat management while decreasing risk. Splunk UBA is a new technology that applies unsupervised machine learning and data science to solving one of the biggest problems in information security today: insider threat. You’ll learn how Splunk UBA works in tandem with ES, or third-party data sources, to bring significant automated analytical power to your SOC and Incident Response teams. We’ll discuss each solution and see them integrated and in action through detailed demos.

Replacing a SIEM @ Cisco
Challenges
• SIEM could not meet security needs
• Very difficult to index non-security or custom app log data
• Serious scale and speed issues. 10GB/day and searches took > 6 minutes
• Difficult to customize, reliance on pre-built rules which generated false positives
Splunk Solution
• Easy to index any type of machine data from any source
• Over 60 simultaneous users, correlations, reporting, advanced threat detection
• Use all data + flexible searches and reporting = empowered team
• 900 GB/day and searches take < minute. 7 global data centers with 350TB store
• Estimated that Splunk is 25% the cost of a traditional SIEM
“We moved to Splunk
from traditional SIEM
as Splunk is designed
and engineered for “big
data” use cases. Our
previous SIEM was not
and simply could not
scale to the data
volumes we have. “

WHAT CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT SPLUNK UBA
Splunk UBA is unique in its data-science driven approach to automatically finding hidden threats rather than
the traditional rules-based approaches that doesn’t scale. We are pleased with the efficacy and efficiency of this
solution as it makes the life of our SOC analysts’ way better.
Mark Grimse, VP IT Security, Rambus
A layered defense architecture is necessary to combat modern-day threats such as cyberattacks and insider
threats, and it’s crucial to use a data science driven approach in order to find unknown patterns. I found Splunk
UBA to be one of the most advanced technologies within the behavioral analytics space.

Splunk excels at creating a data fabric
Machine data: Anything with a timestamp, regardless of incoming format.
Throw it all in there!
Collect it. Store it in one place. Make it accessible for search/analytics/reporting/alerting.
DETECTION NOT PREVENTION! ASSUME BREACH!
So we need a place we can go to DETECT attacks. DETECT breaches. DETECT the “weird.”
So if you had a place to see “everything” that happened…
….what would that mean for your SOC and IR teams?
We see Splunk as your security nerve center. Security organizations are moving towards putting Splunk at the center of everything.
. There’s literally nothing in your environment today when it comes to data that Splunk cannot either ingest or leverage. Just a few of those categories are shown here – some of them are quite typical, like your proxy and firewall data. Others less so – your internal badge readers and cameras, for example. Or the ability to correlate all of your data artifacts with IOCs from your threat intelligence sources. All in one place, all at scale, all in real time. That doesn’t mean that Splunk is always the first place that people go – sometimes Splunk may be feeding another tool, like a traditional SIEM. But Splunk always ends up being the place to see “all of the detail” and the place where customers can mash up the data between many disparate sources.
The Splunk platform consists of multiple products and deployment models to fit your needs.
Splunk Enterprise – for on-premise deployment
Splunk Cloud – Fully managed service with 100% SLA and all the capabilities of Splunk Enterprise…in the Cloud
Splunk Light – log search and analytics for small IT environments
Hunk – for analytics on data in Hadoop
The products can pull in data from virtually any source to support multiple use cases.
Splunk Apps extend and simplify deployments by providing pre-packaged content designed for specific use cases and data types.
At Splunk our mission is to Make Machine Data, accessible, usable and valuable to everyone. Splunk excels at creating a data fabric.

IN TODAY’S WORLD, WE NEED TO ASSUME BREACH!

Big data approach to security; when you have a breach, people will want to know where did they go, what did they see, what was compromised?
Let me speak about interesting cyber security use case to demonstrate the power of correlating data from multiple non-traditional sources.

Our rapid ascent reflects the customer traction we have and value we deliver to customers – with thousands of security customers and 40% year-over-year growth, we are the fastest growing SIEM vendor in the market. 2011 was our first time in the MQ; In 2 short years we raced up to the top quadrant in the MQ.
Adaptive Response was conceived as a result of the successes of existing Splunk customers who compelled Splunk and partners to form the initiative.
Core capabilities include elimination of manual data gathering steps, and ability to apply appropriate actions (or range of actions), specific to each security domain.
One key benefit is improved ability to respond and adapt – actions can be manual, approval-triggered, or analytics-driven
Examples of possible actions: Quarantine a session, kill a connection, closing a port, block IP, terminate process associated with traffic, capture memory dump or host specific wire data, isolate host from network.
Over 45 pre-built searches
37 predefined dashboards
160 reports Supporting common security metrics
Manage and investigate incidents by correlating event data and contextual information from any data source
Pre-built statistical capabilities identify unusual activity and reduce false positives
Automated Threat Intel Integration ensures that new information is rapidly integrated into alerts and investigations

Cisco is a great story. Their traditional SIEM had issues getting in any kind of data source. It was hard to customize. It had scale and speed issues, which we will detail on the next slide. They literally looked at 9 other SIEMs/logging tools and Splunk was the clear winner. So they use us now for incident investigations, correlations, reporting. Worldwide, they are indexing over 1 terabyte (TB) a day. They have over 150 TBs stored in Splunk, 25 indexers, in 7 locations across the world. And they estimate it is 25% of the SIEM cost. So great value for Cisco.
It isn’t just us that thinks some form of data normalization is a good idea, especially for security analytics. If you haven’t checked it out, there’s a fantastic book published recently by three guys that work in the Cisco CSIRT, and they detail their extensive use of Splunk for security analysis. They make a strong point early on in the book about the role of data normalization. They mention that each event generated should have the…
-Date and Time ISO 8601 (clocks synchronized to central time service NTP)
-Type of action performed
-Subsystem performing the action
-Identifiers for the object requesting the action
-Identifiers for the object providing the action
-Status, outcome, or result of the action
So CIM helps us get significant regularity out of similar but disparate data types. Also allows cross-domain correlation like IDS to Vuln.
Let’s start by simplifying the problem that Splunk UBA is addressing for our customers.
Whether it be a spearphising campaign, a watering-hole attack, a drive-by download, or social engineering, the goal of the attacks is to gain access of user’s credential or user’s device, however, in case of an insider, it’s your very own employee misusing his or her credential or access privileges to gather confidential information. Rules and signatures aren’t designed to solve a complex problem such as this. We label this problem as finding the Unknowns.
Second, our customers have people constraints. Customers complain about the lack of availability of security expertise from a budget and skillset availability standpoint. With resources hard to find and budget scarce, they really can’t fill their SOC and incident response teams with more people. Throwing people at the problem isn’t going to solve the issue.
Third, there are alert prioritization problems. Just adding more tools that are disparate and continuing to use island-like approaches are not going to help customer’s problems either. The number of signals, alerts, and false positives emanating from all that is huge. That makes it very hard to wade through and apply intelligence.
------------
To combat or solve this complex space of these sort of attacks. The foundation that is necessary, are basically these 5 pillars, which are the secret sauce to our Splunk UBA solution. Customers need
A solution that is real-time, and leverages a big data foundation
The ability to model behavior on a multi-entity basis.
A set of algorithms which can look at the behavior taking an unsupervised machine learning approach
And creating flags for anomalies that are detected.
In addition, a multi-layered ML models stitches these anomalies into different threat patterns.
-------
From a foundation perspective, Splunk UBA is unique and we actually invested completely on a new thing - leveraging unsupervised machine learning algorithms. The platform has large set of algorithms to detect cyber-attacks and insider threats, a few things that the product can detect would be – beaconing, webshell attacks, exploits, suspicious file access, unusual AD sequence, data exfiltration, etc. There are over thirty algorithms can provide customer with broad coverage to only detect cyber-attacks but also insider threats. And there are close to forty anomaly classifications for a hunter centric persona to look into. And over 30 aggregates across multiple entities (user, device, application, protocol) help with customer gaining the visibility into an organization state.
