ServiceNow is an enterprise IT cloud company that transforms IT by automating and managing IT across organizations. It has over 2300 customers and 2100 employees. Justin Dolly is the CISO of ServiceNow. Previously, ServiceNow's security tools were disparate and information was difficult to access. ServiceNow now collects over 400GB of data daily with Splunk, using it as their SIEM to provide threat identification, event correlation, and compliance reporting across the enterprise. Events detected by Splunk trigger actions that push data into ServiceNow, where a security team analyzes events and elevates potential incidents for investigation.

- 10. 10 Top Takeaways Embrace the mind-shift in Security – Re-think the relationship between your systems, processes, and people – The traditional tools won’t save you Technology when done right is extremely liberating – Applying threat intelligence and real-time analytics makes response activity faster & more accurate The only metric that matters is how quickly you respond to a security event – Don’t chase the information, let it come to you
Editor's Notes
- Required manual creation of incidents based on Splunk events and alerts Excessive time and effort to duplicate information Needed incident management capabilities to track workflow through closure.
- Ability to push Splunk events into ServiceNow as either an incident OR as an incident / event in the latest Eureka release Ability to pull in any info from ServiceNow and correlate that with info from any other sources within Splunk
- New events associated to open incidents; unrelated events that are automatically assigned in error can be split out by the security analyst into separate incidents to be tracked and handled separately
