Splunk, a provider of software for real-time operational intelligence, announced that Monster Worldwide, an online employment company, has selected Splunk for security monitoring and compliance efforts related to its online-hosting business.

Monster Worldwide chose Splunk software for its time to value and ability to deploy rapidly, enabling Monster to avoid the time-consuming process of building its own solution. "We selected Splunk because it applies across use cases, including security and compliance, applications, web analytics, operations, web intelligence and overall business insight,” said Mark Conway, senior vice president and chief information officer for Monster Worldwide.

Government compliance mandates often have complicated, costly and time-consuming demands. Splunk helps solve many of these challenges by indexing machine-generated big data in real-time, allowing organizations to search, alert and report on this data.

Reports are generated quickly, while at the same time meeting requirements to collect and retain specific audit trails. In addition, Splunk software enables end-to-end situational security awareness, real-time monitoring of security incidents and attacks and gives customer new levels of visibility and intelligence in combating cyber threats.
