Case Study: Travis Perkins achieves hybrid-cloud security visibility and cuts incident investigations from weeks to hours with Splunk

Travis Perkins PLC Adopts Analytics-Driven SIEM to Enable Hybrid Cloud Transition

Travis Perkins PLC, a UK builders’ merchant and home‑improvement retailer with 2,000 outlets and 28,000 employees, adopted a cloud‑first strategy that exposed limitations in its legacy SIEM. The mixed on‑premises and cloud environment (including G Suite, AWS and Infor CloudSuite) made it hard to gain end‑to‑end visibility and quickly detect increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats.

The company implemented Splunk Cloud, Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Enterprise Security to centralize telemetry, automate detection and empower IT operations as first responders. The solution improved hybrid visibility, introduced risk‑score correlation and automated playbooks (notably for phishing), cut investigation time from three weeks to three hours, enabled a lean SOC and reduced IT costs; Travis Perkins is now expanding with machine learning to further reduce false positives.
