As cyber threats continuously grow in sophistication and frequency, companies need to quickly acclimate to effectively detect, respond, and protect their environments. At Intel, we’ve addressed this need by implementing a modern, scalable Cyber Intelligence Platform (CIP) based on Splunk and Apache Kafka. We believe that CIP positions us for the best defense against cyber threats well into the future. Our CIP ingests tens of terabytes of data each day and transforms it into actionable insights through streams processing, context-smart applications, and advanced analytics techniques. Kafka serves as a massive data pipeline within the platform. It provides us the ability to operate on data in-stream, enabling us to reduce Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR). Faster detection and response ultimately leads to better prevention. In our session, we’ll discuss the details described in the IT@Intel white paper that was published in Nov 2020 with same title.

Editor's Notes
- #6: People + Technology + Data Transforming How Information Security Works
- #9: Abstraction Layer
- #17: Economies of Scale via acquire data once consume many Operate on Data In Stream – near real time identification and response to threats Reduce downstream costs, e.g. filtering data and transforming data (contextually rich) in kafka before applications and data lakes like Splunk, consumes Reduce technical Debt by eliminating custom connectors Generates Contextually rich data Global Scale and Reach – distributed bus technology that connects to cloud, IOT , other buses, kafka in backpack because records even when elements of assets are offline/separate Always On – no downtime, producers and consumers do not impact each other, kafka in backpack because it brings the data back online Modern Architecture with Thriving Community – great minds working across many distributed systems, data types, message bus systems, new APIs, always innovating Kafka leadership Through Confluent expertise – Confluent is technology leader and partnering with Intel to innovate
