So you have a SIEM with security data, e.g. firewalls, proxy, endpoint data, etc. Now what? How do you effectively operationalize your investment? This session provides recipes, principles, patterns, and strategies for using Splunk and data-driven analytics to move your security monitoring and compliance effectiveness up the maturity curve. This session will cover how to identify key mixes of data sources, core OOTB content to use, and how to layer capabilities aligned with your maturity. We will help you go beyond the endless alerts and investigations and start creating value by reducing the impact of potential security events. We're excited to show you that there's no need for a PhD in security assurance and operations—just Splunk and a solid plan.

The New Experiment Experience in the Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit [Splunk Enterprise, Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit, AI/ML]

This presentation will discuss how Security Operation Centers (SOCs) will need to change to meet the cybersecurity challenges of the 2020s. The speaker will draw on his experience as a founder of the first SOC-as-a-Service company that delivers managed security services using Splunk. Most industry analysts envision that the next generation of SOCs will leverage AI, Big Data, and the Cloud, but how far can automation take us and is the concept of an autonomous SOC really practical? How will the SOC of the Future address the global shortage of cyber professionals? How will the role of security analysts need to change? Will the SOC of the Future still need to be housed in dedicated physical facilities? The speaker will provide a blueprint of Proficio’s vision of the SOC of the Future using Splunk and provide a playbook for IT leaders and aspiring IT leaders on how to drive continuous improvement in productivity and measurable outcomes.

The SOC of the Future [Splunk Enterprise, Splunk Enterprise Security, Splunk User Behavior Analytics]

Tired of relying on static threshold-based alerts that don’t seem to provide much value? Do you typically end up finding outliers in your data by staring at lines on your dashboards? We are told machine learning is going make alerts and dashboards smarter, but how? We will help demystify machine learning and provide a practical guide to apply machine learning techniques for numeric outlier detection, and forecasting to make alerts and dashboards smarter and easier to use for actionable results. We will show you the basics of how you can understand your data, get them ready for machine learning, and get the machine to start working for you! You will leave the session beginning to think like a data scientist and knowing how to apply purpose-driven machine learning to your searches in Splunk!

The Two Most Common Machine Learning Solutions Everyone Needs to Know [Splunk Enterprise, Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit, AI/ML]

Deception, automation, and real-time data exploitation help security organizations go on offense vs attackers. In this session we will discuss how to use a variety of deception techniques to gather threat intelligence, how to create an automated response, and how to test response playbooks to validate that responses work as expected.

Use Deception, Automated Response and Threat Emulation to Make Your Defense Proactive [Splunk Enterprise Security, Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit, Phantom, AI/ML]

Paychex’s goal of providing the best user experience for our clients has led to a significant investment in performance testing and monitoring of our applications. Currently all Paychex applications record the execution time for every task and subtask to logs. These are indexed by Splunk, allowing us to identifying areas where changes to code and database queries will have a positive impact on the overall user experience. This presentation will focus on combining this user experience data with client demographic data (such as the number of active employees) and using the Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit to build predictive models of user experience based on client demographic data.
