Use Case – Premier Space Launch Provider
• Security tool to manage increasingly complex
environment and monitor for APTs
• Centralized secure logging solution to meet compliance
requirements.
• 65 + Unique Data Sources to Aggregate and Monitor
• Multiple major data centers as well as remote offices.
• Over 2,000 server systems and 5,000 end user
workstations.
Splunk Solution – Premier Space Launch
Provider
• Multi-phase Splunk installation including Enterprise
Security App.
• Phase 1 - High priority data types and the Splunk
infrastructure.
• Phase 2 - Correlation across data types, monitoring
solutions and locations.
• 200GB initial daily volume license.
• Redundant architecture centralizing data into the
primary and secondary data centers.
Replacing a SIEM @ Cisco
Challenges
• Security Information and Event Management System 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 Security
Information and Event Management System
“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. “
- Gavin Reid, Leader,
Cisco Computer
Security Incident
Response Team
Ticketmaster
Business challenge
 Ticketmaster needed a faster way to detect and block ticket scalpers who
used bots to purchase volumes of tickets and drove up prices for event-
goers
 An unplanned new business value was discovered whereby promoters could
see venue ticket sales in real time and decide whether to add more concert
dates
NetApp metrics
 Nine NetApp® E5460 systems SAS-attached in an enterprise building-block
architecture
Solution stack
 Splunk NOC dashboards for capacity problems, availability issues, forensics,
transaction tracing, counts, durations, and failed transactions
Why NetApp E-Series
 Extreme performance
 Cost-effective, simple deployment and high availability

Ticketmaster is a Live
Nation Entertainment
company that sells $1
million worth of
tickets per minute.
That’s more tan $16
billion annually out of
7 data centers

Editor's Notes

  • #7 What is not big data - data warehouses/database. They cannot take in all the original data. Also often batch-oriented, not real-time. Explain the key security use cases
  • #8 Our customers typically start with Splunk to solve a specific problem, and then expand from there to address a broad range of use cases, across application troubleshooting, IT infrastructure monitoring, security, business analytics, Internet of things, and many others that are entirely innovated by our customers. Here’s how it works. Splunk software and cloud services reliably collect and index machine data, from a single source to tens of thousands of sources. All in real time. - Once data is in Splunk, you can search, analyze, report-on and derive insights from all your data - across real-time or historical data that may be stored in Hadoop or other NoSQL data sources.
  • #9 Splunk has more than 2,100 employees worldwide, with our global headquarters in San Francisco. Our 11,000+ customers in over 110 countries are using Splunk software and cloud services to improve service levels, reduce operations costs, mitigate security risks, enable compliance, enhance DevOps collaboration and create new product and service offerings. Our products are designed to fit your needs and are built to be as frictionless to deploy as possible. Simple download Splunk software, or sign up for the online sandbox, point it at your data, and you’ll up and running in minutes. Please always refer to latest company data found here: http://www.splunk.com/company.
  • #10 U.S. Awards won by Splunk in 2015: IoT Evolution Magazine Awards SD Times 100: Top of the Heap The CRN Women of the Channel Award CRN Big Data 100 Winner SC Magazine Awards 2015 Bay Area’s Best Place to Work CRN 5-Star Partner Program Guide Winner Healthcare Informatics Leading Edge award Cybersecurity 500 2015 CRN Channel Chiefs Fast Company’s Ten Most Innovative Companies in Big Data CRN 100 Coolest Cloud Computing Vendors of 2015 Trend-setting Products in Data and Information Management for 2015 CSO50 Awards
  • #11 More than 10,000 customers in 100 countries have purchased the enterprise license of Splunk. This includes a majority of the Fortune 100. Enterprises, service providers and government agencies in 100 countries use Splunk to improve service levels, reduce IT operations costs, mitigate security risks and drive new levels of operational visibility. As they gain new visibility into their real-time and historical machine data, Splunk’s customers are finding answers and solving the most challenging issues facing IT and the business.
  • #12 Splunk is the industry-leading platform for Operational Intelligence, delivering both cloud and on-premise solutions tailored to meet the needs of any size organization. Splunk is increasingly being used as a mission-critical, enterprise-wide operational intelligence source, processing 100's of terabytes of data per day. Release 6.3 continues our journey to support the ever-expanding requirements of the most demanding organizations Release 6.3 is especially targeted to meet their needs for scalability and management, extended analysis features, analysis of high-volume data from application and IoT events, and new flexible connectivity options to their business and operational systems. Release 6.3 is a platform release. All 6.3 features are supported on Splunk Enterprise, most on Splunk Cloud, and select features are supported on the Hunk and Splunk Light products
  • #30 Cisco is another 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.
