Case Study: NEC reduces ransomware risk and strengthens security culture with Splunk

NEC cuts ransomware risks by over 80% with Splunk

NEC, a multinational IT and electronics corporation, needed to accelerate its digital transformation by raising cybersecurity awareness across its entire organization. With over 270,000 endpoints generating a terabyte of logs daily, the challenge was to give all employees, not just security experts, visibility into the company's security posture. To meet this challenge, NEC turned to Splunk and its Splunk Enterprise platform.

By implementing Splunk Enterprise and using its Dashboard Studio feature, NEC created customized dashboards that visualize cyber threats and risks for all stakeholders. This solution led to a significant cultural shift, improving security awareness for 120,000 users and reducing ransomware risks by over 80%. The project also boosted third-party evaluation scores and won NEC internal and external awards for its IT excellence.
