At the end of the session you will know what Splunk can do for your organization. And especially what value Splunk adds with regards to Business, IT Operations and Information Security.

Machine Learning Workshop

During the workshop you will discover the world of Machine Learning and you will find out how the possibilities of ML contribute to achieving your strategic goals. With real-world examples we show how you use information obtained from data to lay the foundation for important decisions.

Machine Learning offers the opportunity to establish links and connections, make predictions and detect unusual activity, in a faster and more accurate way. These questions and insights may not be rocket science, but the machine can do this a lot faster and in more detail than a human being.

Interactive session

We provide you with the basics on Machine Learning by sharing both theory and practical knowledge. In addition, we discuss concrete examples of well-known companies and test your own ideas about machine learning for your organization. The acquired insights are put into practice with the Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit.

Have you heard of Machine Learning but have no idea how your organization can benefit from it? Join our workshop and take the first steps towards a data driven organization.
