Splunk VP of U.S. Public Sector Bill Cull In theCUBE During Splunk.conf 2014

Guiding the Big Data efforts of federal, state, and local governments, Splunk Inc. offers an assortment of tools at an affordable price point. According to Bill Cull, Splunk’s VP of the U.S. Public Sector, many clients in the nation’s capital see his company as “a way to save money.”

Cull said that President Barak Obama’s administration gets “pretty high marks” when it comes to structured data. The federal government stringently tracks the efficiency of their IT products, such that government program managers know where they rank. Splunk also helps many federal government sectors, including the Intelligence community, migrate essential applications to the cloud. As Cull explained, Splunk helps the government quell “insider threat challenges.”

At the state and local level, Cull added, Splunk is working with mobility efforts as well. Many large public school districts, for example, are installing wireless networks. He explained how Splunk helps school districts “figure out who’s on it and what’s going on” by providing visibility into the wireless network through machine data monitoring.

Regardless of customer type, Cull said that Splunk customers are asking for more interaction when it comes to security. In his words, customers want Splunk to “provide a conversation with the data to figure out what’s going on in the security environment, and actively pursue threats and stop them.”
