C768/D339 Task 2 Section A: Executive Summary Vulnerable systems can cause businesses grave damage and potentially cause data leaks to consumers who use the systems the business provides to customers. Our research suggests by using Splunk Enterprise Security (SES), you will no longer need to be concerned about having a vulnerable system. This summary includes a brief description of SES and the benefits of why it should be implemented in your systems. What is Splunk Enterprise Security? SES is a data-centric, modern security information event management solution (SIEM). (SPLUNK INC, 2022) The features SES provides are: evolving security systems that use artificial intelligence, search and reporting analytics, advanced threat detection, and a scalable platform that can manage data in any capacity. The features SES will correspond with a discussion on benefits SES provides. Benefits of SES When implementing SES into your systems, you can ensure data is protected 24/7 through SES’s advanced system. This advanced system can provide the following benefits:
- Prioritize and Act on Incidents
- Rapid Investigations
- Handle Multi-step investigation
- Network Protection
- Pricing based on computing or data consumption (BlueVoyant, 2022)
By choosing SES, business leaders no longer need to question the security of the system, due to SES scalability. SES features and benefits outweigh the need for another alternative security SIEM and can accommodate diverse business objectives and goals through ensuring data prioritization through protection is present. Our research advocates for the procurement and implementation of SES at Aspire Data Collections. The features and benefits SES provides make it a valuable system for Aspire Data Collections.

Contact Information: Michael Scott, Aspire Data Collections Product Liaison [email protected] 1.512.534. B1. Press Release Tone and Diction Because the main audience is business executives and leaders, the diction focuses on common words, and phrases that relate to SES. Key phrases and words such as: customer and business relationship, and business operations serve as reminders that correlate to the need to implement SES. The tone of the press release is informal and intending to convey this product will improve current business operations and protect operations through the SES. B2. Press Release Jargon The press released used internal company jargon, such as “Advanced Analytics” and “customizable data reports”. These phrases are commonly used in security related discussions and briefs, which allow business leaders and executives to make well informed decisions based on the product being offered. I did not use any specialized jargon that is not commonly used in businesses to avoid any potential confusion with the advertisement of the product. B3. Press Release Message Timing, Sensitivity, Classification The best time for the audience of Aspire Data Collections to receive this product is during the first day of the month. This is because in the first day of the month, a new pool of funds is issued by stakeholders of the company, and the finance department can create new budgets for products if deemed necessary. The sensitivity of this message is set to be internal to staff, and there is extreme risk if the product were to be shared across the
business operations. The classification of this message is internally focused, and is directed towards only managers within financial department, business leaders, and the Information technology department.

FAQ Tone and Diction The diction used in the FAQs intends focus on guides and events of SES. The tone in the FAQs is formal to mitigate deterrence of the product. By using a formal tone, the audience can confidently put trust towards the system through reading the FAQs. C2. FAQ Jargon To avoid misunderstandings and distractions, this FAQ did not include any jargon than what is common to the audience. C3. FAQ Message Timing, Sensitivity, Classification The timing of this message should be available after the presentation is complete.
