Case Study: University of Alaska prevents 2,000+ fraud attempts with Splunk

University of Alaska prevents 2,000+ fraud attempts with Splunk

The University of Alaska faced the challenge of preventing sophisticated financial aid fraud and overcoming incident response bottlenecks across its distributed environment of three universities. With a small team needing to protect tens of thousands of assets, the university required a unified solution. They turned to Splunk, utilizing the Splunk Platform and Splunk SOAR to gain centralized visibility and automation.

By implementing Splunk's solutions, the university aggregated data from every campus into a single pane of glass and automated security responses. As a result, they prevented over 2,000 fraud attempts in two years, reduced their mean time to detect and respond to threats from hours to minutes, and scaled their security operations efficiently. Splunk enabled the small team to protect university funds and focus on higher-value strategic work.
