Case Study: VeriSign achieves 90% faster certificate tracking and rapid compliance reporting with Splunk

Delivering Powerful Capabilities Across Mulitple IT Teams

VeriSign, a leader in digital certificate services that protects over a million web servers and secures billions of Internet transactions, was overwhelmed by massive, fragmented IT log data. Multiple teams relied on disparate tools and homegrown logging, creating silos that made troubleshooting, security monitoring and compliance reporting slow, inconsistent and labor-intensive.

By deploying Splunk Enterprise, VeriSign consolidated logs into a single secure index with LDAP-based role access, browser-based search for developers, scheduled dashboards and automated reporting for PCI, SOX and SAS‑70. The solution cut certificate-delivery tracking time by about 90%, reduced compliance reporting from days to hours, improved SLA and capacity planning for 100,000+ daily transactions, sped incident response and turned reactive troubleshooting into proactive monitoring.
