Our agenda is built and should fit a decision maker and business manager.
You are in the driver’s seat to ensure your organization’s digital systems remain secure and reliable, despite any disruption. But you can’t do this without bringing your security and observability teams together on a unified platform. Join James Hodge and cutting-edge organizations to hear about our latest security, observability, AI and edge innovations that help you better detect, investigate and respond.
Your security operations team faces challenges today that span people, processes and technology. Detection, investigation and response are spread across siloed tools, while security insights are diffused across interfaces, making it challenging to achieve situational awareness. It’s time to unify your security operations to protect your organization in this evolving digital world. Join us to hear about our latest innovations, how Splunk can help you automate 95% of your incident response, and detect and investigate incidents up to 10 times faster using Splunk’s industry-defining TDIR solution.
Today, it’s no secret—digital runs your business. Now more than ever, there is more to monitor within your environments. You need to have complete visibility across your commercial applications like SAP, Salesforce, and M365 as well as your customer facing, cloud-based web and mobile apps that generate revenue for your business. How do you detect, investigate and respond fast enough to keep customers happy? Join this session to hear from Splunk experts and peers and see how the latest innovations in Splunk Observability will help your teams find and fix problems 80% faster, improve reliability, and help you build amazing customer experiences.
Chief Technical Advisor
EMEA - Splunk
Mark is a passionate technologist who’s spent too much time owning a P&L to really call himself an engineer. Innovative technology (in all its various flavours) has been the common backbone for Mark’s career, from mission-critical delivery to innovation acceleration, global portfolio optimisation to fundraising and acquisition selection to ground-up organisation building.
Mark is the EMEA Chief Technical Advisor & Field CTO at Splunk and has been a Fellow at the World Economic Forum’s Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. He helps executive teams and international policy makers understand the seismic effect that ‘data-driven’ approaches can achieve and get the right blend of enabling technology, expertise, empowering guidance and practical governance to deliver beneficial change.
Before joining Splunk he co-founded AMPLYFI. As CTO he created and scaled the AI-start-up’s proprietary hybrid DL-NLP deep web analytics technology into their current products, which are used across many sectors including finance, manufacturing, FMCG and research.
He has also worked commercialising novel integrated hardware/software solutions at BT, Bentley and for various energy firms including Chevron, BP and Shell. Mark spent the first decade of his career as a British Army Engineering Officer, specialising in new technology introduction, strategic planning and spending time in hot and cold places that would not be on most people’s bucket-list.
