Brian Lillie, CIO of Equinix, discusses Equinix's adoption of Splunk Cloud for its security information and event management (SIEM) needs. Equinix wanted a cloud SIEM solution for its flexibility, subscription pricing model, and ease of deployment compared to an on-premises SIEM. Splunk Cloud met Equinix's needs out of the box by handling different data types and providing security analytics. Equinix now uses Splunk Cloud for malware protection, user account protection, data leakage protection, and has seen promising results like reducing raw events to only 20 actionable alerts.

Read our blog on the 5 IT Predictions for Digital Business in 2019: https://eqix.it/ITPredictions2019 While digital transformation has the potential to dramatically accelerate long-term business performance, the truth is that we are deep into the digital awkward years. Though the promise of digital is full of new possibilities, most companies are currently experiencing the growing pains of hybrid IT complexity. Today’s businesses see digital technologies that need to be seamlessly integrated with legacy IT infrastructures to optimize business processes, agility and scale. They anticipate an increasing number of connected-devices at the edge generating mountains of data that will expand their organization’s threat landscape, while data security and compliance requirements continue to increase. We are working with our customers around the globe to build the data center of the future, blazing the trail for next-generation interconnection and innovation, including emerging security, data and application infrastructure services. And as business and technology leaders move closer to another year of high stakes digital transformations and the big IT decisions that power them, we’re taking a closer look at the technologies that will make the biggest digital business impact in 2019.

The story the Global Interconnection Index (GXI) Volume 2 tells about the United States is one of a country with an unmatched history in the development and expansion of Interconnection, but with plenty of growth and innovation still ahead. The U.S. is the most mature region in the world for digital business, according to the GXI, which analyzes global Interconnection – the direct and private traffic exchange between businesses. The annual report by Equinix estimates that by 2021, the U.S. will contribute 40% of the global installed Interconnection Bandwidth – the total capacity provisioned to privately and directly exchange traffic with a diverse set of participants at distributed IT exchange points. That’s by far the highest share of worldwide Interconnection Bandwidth, an essential enabler of digital business expansion.
