Faced with a complex, heterogeneous IT infrastructure and a ‘Cloud First’ instruction from the board, Nick Bleech, Head of Information Security at building supplies giant Travis Perkins, used Splunk Enterprise Security running on Splunk Cloud to deliver enhanced security for 27,000 employees.
Splunk allowed Travis Perkins to provide real-time security monitoring, faster incident resolution and improved data governance while delivering demonstrable business value to the board.
In this webinar, Nick Bleech discusses:
● The business and security drivers of deploying a cloud-based security incident and event management solution
● The overall benefits of the Splunk solution
● The project’s critical success factors
● How stakeholders and the overall project were managed
● The positive impact on the deployment on the IT operations and IT security teams
● The next steps in the development of a lightweight security operations centre

If you’re just getting started with Splunk, this session will help you understand how to use Splunk software to turn your silos of data into insights that are actionable. In this session, we’ll dive right into a Splunk environment and show you how to use the simple Splunk search interface to quickly find the needle-in-the-haystack or multiple needles in multiple haystacks. We’ll demonstrate how to perform rapid ad-hoc searches to conduct routine investigations across your entire IT infrastructure in one place, whether physical, virtual or in the cloud. We’ll show you how to then convert these searches into real time alerts and dashboards, so you can proactively monitor for problems before they impact your end user. We’ll demonstrate how you can use Splunk to connect the dots across heterogeneous systems in your environment for cross-tier, cross-silo visibility. You’ll have access to a demo environment. So, don’t forget to bring your laptop and follow along for a hands-on experience.
These are the slides from the webinar broadcast on April 1st 2020, presented by Philipp Drieger. Content covers:
- Introduction to AI and ML Features in Splunk
- Customer Use Case Examples
- Live Demo of Machine Learning Toolkit, with examples for:
Methods for Anomaly Detection, Predictive Analytics and Forecasting, and Clustering
- Custom Machine Learning, incl.: Advanced Containerization and Expansion with MLSPL API
More Than Monitoring: How Observability Takes You From Firefighting to Fire P...DevOps.com
For some, observability is just a hollow rebranding of monitoring, for others it’s monitoring on steroids. But what if we told you observability is the new way to find out why—not just if—your distributed system or application isn’t working as expected? Today, we see that traditional monitoring approaches can fall short if a system or application doesn’t adequately externalize its state.
This is truer as workloads move into the cloud and leverage ephemeral technologies, such as microservices and containers. To reach observability, IT and DevOps teams need to correlate different sources from logs, metrics, traces, events and more. This becomes even more challenging when defining the online revenue impact of a failed container—after all, this is what really matters to the business.
This webinar will cover:
The differences between observability and monitoring
Why it is a bigger challenge in a multicloud and containerized world
How observability results in less firefighting and more fire prevention
How new platforms can help gain observability (on premises and in the cloud) for containers, microservices and even SAP or mainframes
Looking into 2020 and beyond, we are certainly going to continue this trend of strategic technology investment and architecture evolution. This session’s aim is to highlight Splunk platform evolutionary approach to address key technology trends. Additionally, many customers are adopting Serverless cloud services to deliver their cloud solutions. This session will include a live demo of a new library of functions which provides Google Cloud Platform (GCP) serverless “push” capability to send data into Splunk, via HTTP Event Collector (HEC).
Machine-generated data is one of the fastest growing and complex areas of big data. It's also one of the most valuable, containing a definitive record of all user transactions, customer behavior, machine behavior, security threats, fraudulent activity and more. Join us as we explore the basics of machine data analysis and highlight techniques to help you turn your organization’s machine data into valuable insights. This introductory workshop includes a hands-on(bring your laptop) demonstration of Splunk’s technology and covers use cases both inside and outside IT. Learn why more than 12,000 customers in over 110 countries use Splunk to make business, government, and education more efficient, secure, and profitable.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
