Description: Splunk Inc. (NASDAQ: SPLK) is the market leader in analyzing machine data to deliver Operational Intelligence for security, IT and the business. Splunk® software provides the enterprise machine data fabric that drives digital transformation. More

Are you looking to apply machine learning to your data to uncover new insights and make more informed decisions? Join us as we discuss how machine learning solutions can help your organization. Whether you are an analyst looking to enhance your reporting or a trained data scientist, we’ll cover ways to model your data, experiment with machine learning tools, and operationalize different algorithms using our guided workflows.

This webinar will touch on machine learning concepts such as:
- Anomaly and outlier detection
- Clustering
- Forecasting
- Prediction
- And much more!
You’ll walk away with an understanding of how ML can help improve your ability to sift through alerts, identify threats, and ultimately improve your data analyses and decision making. We will also give you a look into what is possible with the latest release of Splunk’s Machine Learning Toolkit (MLTK).

Getting More from your Data with Machine Learning

While Kubernetes abstracts away many infrastructure complexities enabling DevOps teams to move faster and scale efficiently, it also introduces new operational and monitoring challenges. DevOps and SRE teams grapple with challenges in monitoring dynamic and ephemeral containerized environments. According to the latest CNCF survey, monitoring and complexity are the top inhibitors in Kubernetes adoption. Applying traditional approaches to monitoring in cloud-native environments doesn’t work.

A new, multidimensional approach is needed to gain observability and real-time monitoring. Learn how Splunk is helping DevOps teams successfully navigate through the complexity that Kubernetes bring.

What you'll learn from this webinar:

Challenges in monitoring Kubernetes orchestrated workloads
How to achieve real-time observability into Kubernetes deployments
Demo of Kubernetes Navigator, a turnkey solution for DevOps teams to understand and manage performance in Kubernetes environments

A New Approach for Observability in Kubernetes Environments

Financial firms remain a key target for threat actors who, in turn, are leveraging machine learning and other advanced technologies to innovate and execute attack types on a continual basis. Indeed, these cyber attackers are after the money, but they also know that data is the means to that end.

In this session, we will explore how financial firms leverage Splunk to correlate data sources and types that reveal insights into cyber attack behavior. We will also demonstrate the importance of harmonizing gaps in processes and monitoring tools that improve detection and resolution.

Fighting Financial Crime is a Data Challenge

The age of modernize the Security Operations Center (SOC) has arrived. We’ve seen the same challenges for years: too many security alerts, a massive shortage in the number of security professionals, insufficient skill sets and experience, and teams using a myriad of complex, siloed point solutions instead of holistic threat-mitigation capabilities. It’s an unsustainable model that’s long overdue for change. 

Join Splunk and Accenture Security and learn more about how you can:
- Use risk-based alerting to accelerate alert triage and threat response
- Automate response to mitigate threats in seconds instead of hours
- Integrate your existing security solutions for streamlined workflow
- Mature processes and skill sets to build cyber resilience
- Align and integrate security with your business objectives

Join our webinar to learn how you can transform Splunk's security operations and overcome the burdens of today's obsolete SOC.

Why is alert fatigue accepted as “normal” in Security Operations Centers (SOC)? There has to be a shift in perspective. Splunk has worked with customers to build a reference architecture called Risk Based Alerting within Splunk Enterprise Security. It introduces a layer of abstraction between the detection analytics and the alerting process while aligning with the MITRE ATT&CK™ framework to account for user/system/service specific context when scoring anomalous behavior.

Tune in to learn about how Splunk Risk Based Alerting allows you:

- To scale existing analysts to include more data/analytics
- Increase your true positive rates
- Improve the effectiveness of your SOC

Outdated solutions produce volumes of security alerts, yet security teams struggle to accurately detect high-priority threats because of the amount of noise generated. Compound this reality with compliance mandates, budget uncertainties, as well as staff shortages and skills gaps, and it becomes readily apparent why security professionals are looking for new solutions. This is why modernizing Security Operations Centers (SOCs) to maximize productivity and effectiveness has become a top priority for organizations around the globe.

Splunk customers are making inroads to solving the problem. Using real customer stories of SOC modernization, this webinar will share key insights Splunk customers learned during their transformation, including:

- Why Intel required a common digital work surface for their SOC team in their next-generation Security Operations Platform
- How technology helps Starbucks with the cyber skills shortage, ticket fatigue, and analyst burnout
- Best practices from Sony for building an advanced threat detection program
- How Booz Allen Hamilton addresses the challenges of data retention and collection

Five SOC Modernization Stories: Insights in Transformation From Splunk Customers

The coronavirus hit Asia Pacific first, driving overnight changes. Now the region is leading the recovery and return to the office.

Splunk Vice President, APAC, Simon Davies saw it all unfold. In this interview with Podcaster Chris Lochhead,  he describes his experience seeing the disruption that prompted businesses and government to adopt cloud solutions and leverage data to stay productive.

This discussion is part of the Splunk Global Restart program, designed to inform decision-makers about how data can help build a more resilient organization.

Do you really need to evolve from monitoring to observability? It is not the strongest of the IT species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one most adaptable to change. 

Monitoring is evolving into Observability. Observability enables DevOps and SRE teams to explain the unpredictable behavior of modern systems and resolve issues faster for better customer experience. This new approach is about finding the “unknown unknowns” that impact your business, your SLAs and your critical applications.

Join us at this webinar to learn how you can how you can detect, investigate and diagnose problems easily with end to end observability. During this webinar we will explore:

- What Observability is and how it differs from monitoring
- What Observability can do for you: Better customer experience, more predictable operations, greater resource efficiency and higher developer productivity
- The data sources required to evolve from monitoring to observability
- Best in class observability solutions across cloud monitoring, application performance monitoring and incident response

Evolving from Monitoring to Observability

In financial services, data is everything. From real-time risk monitoring and fraud detection to omnichannel customer visibility, data drives success. In fact, our cross-industry research with ESG into data maturity finds that financial services firms rank second only to tech companies (among eight verticals) for data investment and “data-obsessed” culture.

But being data-obsessed requires more than adding big data tools to the stack. To focus on data quality and making intelligent use of your data, you have to revisit your cross-functional data strategy.

What does this mean for your organization? Our upcoming webinar digs into the global research, highlighting how 1,350 business and IT experts lay out the benefits top-tier organizations are experiencing from a mature data strategy, including:

- Fully 67% of financial services organizations say better use of data has increased revenue.
- 87% of financial firms agree (and 47% strongly agree) that the intelligent use of data and analytics is becoming the only source of differentiation in the financial industry.
- Across industries, top-performing organizations draw 12.5% of their gross profit just from smarter use of data.

Join us to learn how financial firms are leveraging data to drive innovation in customer experience, fraud, and business operations. Finance leaders know that data is our most valuable asset. But you might be surprised to learn how valuable it can be.
