Case Study: CanDeal achieves improved security posture and faster incident response with Splunk

CanDeal Streamlines Security and IT Operations, Rapidly Improving Security Posture

CanDeal, the leading electronic marketplace for Canadian dollar fixed‑income securities and derivatives, needed a centralized, easy‑to‑deploy security solution to gain comprehensive visibility across geographically dispersed datacenters, meet regulatory requirements, and proactively mitigate known and unknown threats including advanced persistent threats (APTs).

CanDeal implemented Splunk Enterprise, Splunk Enterprise Security and the Splunk App for Stream to centralize logs, protocol streams and endpoint data, surface prebuilt correlations and dashboards, and enable real‑time alerts. The deployment delivered immediate, actionable security intelligence, full operational visibility, faster incident response (often reducing containment to 10–15 minutes), improved auditor reporting, and cross‑team efficiencies—allowing expansion of Splunk use from security into IT operations and application delivery.
