Automotive Group Aims to Cut Security Response Times From Hours to
Seconds
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 16, 2018--
Splunk
Inc. (NASDAQ: SPLK), first in delivering “aha” moments from machine
data, announced that Daimler, the German automotive group, will replace
its legacy SIEM with Splunk® Enterprise and Splunk Enterprise Security
(ES). The group will use Splunk ES as its nerve center for security
analytics to gain security insights across the entire organization,
including business critical environments such as vehicle systems and
manufacturing lines. The company chose Splunk over open source
alternatives as part of its strategy to buy best-of-breed solutions
rather than build things in house.
The automotive group will use Splunk ES to analyze multiple terabytes of
data each day. The team expects to reduce security investigation times
from hours to seconds, utilising visualizations to improve analysts’
ability to explore and interrogate data as well as help spot and respond
to issues more quickly to limit any potential impact to the business. By
committing to a Splunk Enterprise Adoption Agreement (EAA), the company
is able to plan security for the future while benefiting from Splunk’s
predictable pricing. The flexibility of the Splunk platform was also
important; the group expects to realize future value from traditional IT
use cases as well as in newly developed digital applications and
services, like gaining insights into its connected car fleet or in
Industry 4.0 projects.
“As digitization continues to transform industries and create new
sources of security-relevant data, security strategies need to be built
upon a strong data foundation. SIEM solutions should utilize advanced
analytics to ensure they are helping to combat the sophisticated wave of
threats we are currently seeing,” said Haiyan Song, senior vice
president of Security Markets, Splunk. “This is a great example of an
organization taking an analytics-driven approach. With Splunk software,
the group can leverage out-of-the box content to quickly identify and
visualize threats and get the real-time answers they need to keep the
business secure.”
