Description
Jisc have developed a cyber security threat monitoring service (CSTM); As part of the overall service offered, Jisc have contracted with Splunk for the managed service provision (MSP) licence. As we (Jisc) are acting as a Managed Service Provider (MSP) hosting multiple tenants on behalf of other organizations, the specific licensing we need can only be purchased directly via an MSP agreement direct from Splunk Inc. Given the substantial extent of the operational knowledge and configuration both for Jisc and CSTM customers being live on the service we are unable to cease using Splunk without significant disruption. A future strategy for the CSTM is in hand and will be advertised to the marketplace when applicable.
