Attendees will see how Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Business Flow are used to monitor the order fulfilment process within an automated warehouse in real time. You also will see how proactive alerts inform the warehouse that a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is under performing. Then, using process mining to investigate, find the root cause to solve issues before they become problems. This presentation will initially describe the workings of an automated warehouse and the data generated. It then will cover the process of ingesting this data into Splunk and configuring Splunk Business Flow to monitor processes and KPIs. Finally, the session will review the benefits to TGW and its customers from deploying Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Business Flow. Come to the session to see how the monitoring, alerting, and process mining functionality in Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Business Flow provides a deep insight into what is happening inside an automated warehouse.

Initial compromises happen on your endpoints, so why are you not Splunking them? In this edition of Splunking The Endpoint, we will tell you exactly what to configure in Splunk, and where, why, and how to do so in order to get unparalleled visibility into threats targeting your network. Not only will we revisit popular operating system and open-source endpoint data sources like Sysmon and Osquery, but we'll also talk about various popular commercial EDR products and give you best practices for collecting data from them. Lastly, we'll help you address any doubts about scale problems and licensing costs.Please bring your laptop! We will dive through the latest Boss of the SOC (BOTS) endpoint data and demonstrate the detection techniques needed to answer BOTS questions. Everything you learn will be something you can take home and put into production immediately.

DATEV provides information services to ~2.5 million payrolling, accounting, and tax clients. Given the sensitivity of the personal and financial data that our clients process, DATAEV decided to establish a SOC to secure our clients' information, and we put Splunk at the core of its operations. In this session we will discuss four key elements relevant to building a successful SOC with Splunk. We'll first discuss how we formed our SOC and orchestrated its activities internally. We'll then discuss how we use MITRE's ATT&CK™ framework to prioritize activities, how we spread our SOC's security knowledge to all relevant groups at DATEV, and how we use Splunk to create real-time situational awareness for different SOC customers, for stakeholders, and for management.

At a major UK retail organization, we developed so many great dashboards over the years for every conceivable business area. This once sufficed, but it fuelled greater expectation in an ever harsher trading environment. Enter Peak Trade periods and the need for outcome-centered visibility across the order fulfillment process "just got real".Could Splunk Business Flow help us to uncover the actual flow, given the teams who built it are long disbanded? Could we talk "flow" when support teams align to "steps"?  What we found was data that cannot agree what an Order is. Processes which tackle different aspects of an order, sometimes in parallel or batch. Processes which fork and then merge later on. Processes which go into planned deep-freeze for days or weeks before reawakening. Data formats which are hostile. The list goes on.We take you through the thought process, share mistakes and learnings, and outline considerations/techniques to help you win in the arena of real-world data.

As organizations look to extend Splunk to new datasets for business process insights, it is crucial to have the right data to work with. However Splunk teams can get stuck demonstrating the value of new solutions without having data available. Some very intelligent approaches to data sampling, data preparation, and query optimization can dramatically accelerate your ability to create value from more data.  In this session, you will learn some of these techniques so you can quickly make a business case and demonstrate the value for Splunk Business Flow in your organization.
