Case Study: Southern Farm Bureau Life Insurance Company boosts security and speeds file analysis with Splunk Attack Analyzer

Southern Farm Bureau Life Insurance Company cuts file scan time 70% with Splunk

Southern Farm Bureau Life Insurance Company (SFBLI) faced significant challenges with its security operations. Its previous solution for analyzing files uploaded to an external web application was slow, causing delays in sales, and generated a high rate of false positives, leading to alert fatigue for its small cybersecurity team. This situation jeopardized the company's ability to protect sensitive customer data from malware attacks. To address this, SFBLI turned to Splunk for a solution, specifically implementing Splunk Attack Analyzer.

By implementing Splunk Attack Analyzer, the company achieved dramatic improvements. Splunk's solution decreased file scan time by 70%, reducing the process from 20 minutes to roughly 5 minutes for analysis, orchestration, and response combined. Most significantly, Splunk Attack Analyzer reduced the false positive rate from 26% to near zero within six months. This eliminated alert fatigue, allowed the security team to operate more efficiently and confidently, and significantly strengthened the company's overall security posture.
