CISO Of The Corporation Service Company Scott Plichta Is In theCUBE During Splunk.conf 2014

On a full Splunk Inc. network, the Corporation Service Company was able to diagnose and resolve a security incident in under three hours. On a network without Splunk, the same process took three days. When relaying this anecdote in a live interview with theCUBE at this year’s Splunk conference, Scott Plichta, CISO of the Corporation Service Company, explained the process was expedited because “Splunk brings everything under a single pane of glass,” which makes it faster and simpler to identify the cause of the problem.

The ability to resolve security incidents quickly meant that the Corporation Service Company saw little disruption in its business transactions. Because Splunk offered a comprehensive view of the entire system, Plichta observed business processes were interrupted “only when it involved remediation action.”

While he cautioned that there are certain attacks that companies can’t be prepared for, Plichta stressed that Splunk dashboards make it easy to see whether patches work throughout the system.

Cloud offers something of a security “reset” because it has no perimeter, Plichta said. As cloud adoption becomes more prevalent, he believes it will force a reexamination of security procedures and practices throughout the tech industry.
