Group Vice President, Asia, Splunk
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 Splunk leaders and cutting-edge organizations to hear about our latest security, observability, AI and edge innovations that help you better detect, investigate and respond.
Soo Tzu Chieh
Vice President Infrastructure Services
Singapore Airlines (SIA)
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.
Listen, even the LockBit ransomware group talks about SURGe, Splunk's strategic cybersecurity research group. We do everything from big data analysis of SSL certificates and writing fast blog responses to help defend against threats like Log4Shell, to threat hunting, industry-focused podcasts, and analyzing Chrome browser extension risk. Come listen to the leaders of SURGe talk about the last year of research, how SURGe triages rapid responses, and get the inside scoop on what SURGe is working on for the year to help reinforce the blue team.
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.
Today’s modern organizations need to build digital resilience — keeping their systems secure, reliable and performant in the face of digital disruptions in order to accomplish their missions.
Splunk helps build a safer and more resilient digital world. Organizations trust Splunk to prevent security, infrastructure and application issues from becoming major incidents, absorb shocks from digital disruptions, and accelerate digital transformation.
What is Splunk Boss of the SOC (BOTS)
BOTS is a blue-team, jeopardy-style, capture-the-flag (CTF) activity where participants leverage Splunk's Security Operations Suite — and other resources — to answer a variety of questions about the type of real-world security incidents that analysts face regularly. We developed BOTS because we were tired of showing up at security conferences and finding the CTFs to be entirely red-team oriented. There are other blue team CTFs out there — especially the grandfather to them all, SANS NetWars — but few of them attempt to recreate the life of a security analyst facing an adversary at all stages of an attack. In BOTS, we work very hard to ask questions that not only require contestants to know or get to know Splunk solutions but also know how to research open-source intelligence and think outside of the "Splunk Security" box.
Played in teams of 2 persons, BOTS requires participants to pivot through realistic data sets using Splunk Enterprise and the entire Splunk product portfolio. The winning team will get a Sony PlayStation 5 console (Disc edition) for each person!
Who Should Play
BOTS is the best place to see where you stand, understand how you can improve, and learn from Splunk experts. All are welcome whether you’re new to Splunk or a self-appointed expert! You’ll be able to spend time working through fun problems and network with a global audience of your peers. If you have the curiosity and desire you should play! There is something for everyone.
The Scenario
You will role play as the quirky Security Analyst “Alice Bluebird”, a security analyst at Frothly, a thriving home brewing supply company. Contestants will pivot through a brand new, realistic dataset using Splunk’s analytics-driven security platform and the wild, wild web. All the while racing the clock (and the globe) to identify the who, how, and where through a series of full forensic investigations.

Fishing has always been a nice pastime to calm and relax, Phishing however has not! From simple emails asking you to reply with your username and password, or a direct click malware download, it has evolved to evade cybersecurity defenders, email filters and sandboxes alike! The modern phishing email contains just enough information to fool the unsuspecting employee whilst hiding itself behind a myriad of hyperlinks, QR codes, Captcha's, copy-pasted images and other evasion techniques to fool the smartest technologies. This makes proper phishing analysis a drudge, taking up time, energy and focus from blue team defenders who could be engaged in other hunting or investigation activities. Luckily Splunk has the answer in the form of Splunk Attack Analyzer, it jumps through all these hoops in order to find the malware or phishing site behind the maze and analyzes any malware in its sandbox or reports any phishing portal that is discovered. Come learn how Splunk Attack Analyzer will defeat modern attackers and prevent them from getting this first foothold in your organization.
We are the Splunk SOC, and we are dang proud of it. Join us as we tell our journey of creating a security operations program built around Splunk products like Splunk® Enterprise Security, Splunk® User Behavior Analytics (UBA), Splunk® SOAR, Splunk Threat Intelligence Management (TIM) and more! Learn how we went from inception to a world-class SOC and our plans for the future. Find out how we respond to rapidly changing threat landscapes and our lessons learned as a supplier and consumer of software. Walk away with our hard-fought knowledge and how to mature your own security operations.
Customer experience matters. As more business interactions have gone digital and digital services have become more complex, customer expectations for performance have risen in sync.

Attend this session to learn how you can help you integrate customer experience as a key indicator of system health.
