The old way: Escalating law enforcement requests distract IT.

Service providers, educational institutions and large enterprises that provide Internet access to thousands or millions of users receive many requests per day from law enforcement to investigate suspected criminal activity originating from their networks. Servicing these requests is an immense distraction with no business benefit. Retrieving the requested information involves using slow, vendor-specific reporting interfaces provided by each firewall, web proxy and network monitoring vendor as well as manually analyzing many scattered file-based data sources. For many organizations, multiple full-time resources are dedicated to this wasteful activity and the inability to respond effectively opens up organizations to legal risk.

The new way: IT Search makes e-discovery fast and easy.

Splunk lets you instantaneously search across every data source required for e-discovery requests from a single place. Non-technical human resources and compliance personnel can lift this burden from IT staff thanks to Splunk's intuitive web interface and search language. Instantaneous results slash the time required for every request. Data signing and audit trail features demonstrate the integrity of the results.
