Case Study: Aflac achieves analytics-driven security—blocking 2M+ threats and saving 40+ hours/month with Splunk

Aflac Adopts Splunk Platform for Analytics-Driven Security

Aflac, a leading U.S. provider of voluntary insurance with nearly 10,000 employees, faced a surge in the volume and velocity of security threats and relied on a legacy SIEM that required manual data collection and deep data knowledge. The company needed an analytics-driven security platform to better protect customers, employees and its brand while freeing teams to focus on proactive investigations.

Aflac implemented Splunk Enterprise Security and Splunk User Behavior Analytics as the core of a Threat Intelligence System, reaching enterprise-ready status in weeks and completing TIS in five months. The solution automated threat hunting and most security metrics, orchestrated intelligence across 20+ technologies, blocked more than two million threats in six months with fewer than 12 false positives, and saved over 40 hours per month by eliminating manual reporting.
