Protecting Research and Investment at The University of Exeter with Splunk

The University of Exeter is a business, a charity, a world renowned research institute as well as a school. Alan Hill, CIDO and his team chose Splunk to protect the University, going from “zero to hero” in about eight weeks.

With a £420m annual turnover, the research intensive University relies on Splunk to keep operating efficiently and remain secure across four campuses in the South West of England. Protecting research data is vital for the University in order to gain maximum value. Research professors are high value targets to adversaries, and Splunk helps to protect the line of business, identifying unusual patterns of access to protect the theft of research data.
