Splunk at Duke University

Founded in 1838, Duke University (Duke) is a private research institution situated on an 8,500-acre campus in Durham, N.C. Duke is divided into 10 schools and colleges, serving nearly 15,000 undergraduate and graduate students. With faculty and staff added to the mix, Duke supports more than 68,000 active network users. The Duke IT Security Office was faced with data and usage challenges, including not having a security information and event management (SIEM) solution. Since deploying Splunk Enterprise, Duke has seen benefits including:

• Incident investigation and remediation reduced from hours to minutes
• Improved security posture
• Prevented phishing attacks and payroll fraud
