关于客户
The customer in this case is a U.S. state agency responsible for providing workforce-development assistance to employers and job seekers. This agency plays a crucial role in handling unemployment benefit payments, which involves monitoring for erroneous or fraudulent payments. The agency is tasked with ensuring compliance with IRS regulations, specifically the 'Tax Information Security Guidelines for Federal, State and Local Agencies' as outlined in IRS Publication 1075. This regulation is particularly complex and requires the agency to follow strict procedures for recovering fraudulent or erroneous payments. The agency had already implemented the Splunk Enterprise analytics platform to manage distributed systems operational data. However, they faced challenges in ingesting native z/OS data, which is critical for IRS compliance. The agency's operations are significant, involving millions of dollars in unemployment benefits, and they are under pressure to recover funds efficiently while adhering to regulatory requirements.
挑战
Like many other state agencies trying to recover fraudulent or erroneous payments of unemployment benefits, this organization had been struggling to comply with an especially complex IRS regulation, “Tax Information Security Guidelines for Federal, State and Local Agencies”, as described in IRS Publication 1075. This agency provides workforce-development assistance to employers and job seekers, and it is involved in handling unemployment benefit payments. This operation has to be monitored for erroneous or fraudulent payments, and in those cases there are strict procedures for recovery that must be followed. That’s where IRS Pub 1075 comes in. The agency was well on its way to getting its arms around the problem because it had installed the industry-leading Splunk Enterprise analytics platform. Soon, however, the agency found that while Splunk had no problem ingesting all the distributed systems operational data, it wasn’t able to ingest native z/OS data on operations. This was a significant problem because z/OS logs held much of the information needed to ensure IRS compliance. In particular, the agency needed to get certain z/OS System Management Facility logs (SMF Records 30, 80, and 102) to meet IRS Pub 1075. Not only does the state need to recover the funds, but it needs to do so as efficiently as possible.

ELI LILLY ADOPTS MICROMEDIA’S ALERT NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
Pharmaceutical production is subject to a strict set of enforced rules that must be adhered to and compliance to these standards is critically necessary. Due to the efforts of WIN 911’s strategic partner Micromedia, Lilly was able to adopt an alarm notification infrastructure that integrated smoothly with their existing workflows and emergency hardware and protocols. These raw energy sources enable the industrial process to function: electricity, WIN-911 Software | 4020 South Industrial Drive, Suite 120 | Austin, TX 78744 USA industrial steam, iced water, air mixtures of varying quality. Refrigeration towers, boilers and wastewater are monitored by ALERT. Eli Lilly identified 15000 potential variables, but limitations compelled them to chisel the variable list down to 300. This allowed all major alarms to be covered including pressure, discharge, quantity of waste water discharged,temperature, carbon dioxide content, oxygen & sulphur content, and the water’s pH.

Planters Bank Grows Securely With Arctic Wolf for Security Operations
Planters Bank faced significant challenges in managing and securing its diverse and distributed network infrastructure. The bank needed to fulfill audit and regulatory compliance requirements, particularly those outlined by the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council (FFIEC) and overseen by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Additionally, the bank's IT team lacked the resources to achieve 24/7 monitoring, which left them vulnerable to potential threats and compliance issues. The existing piecemeal systems were insufficient for comprehensive monitoring, and the bank risked missing dangerous threats due to the lack of visibility and real-time insights.
