As we wrap up summer and with .conf20 right around the corner, let's play a game. We will be using Kahoot! to have a little fun and test your knowledge. Some of the questions will be fun, some on Splunk history, and some Splunk guru level. The last 20-30 minutes of the meeting will be open discussion. Use that time to ask a question, solve a problem, or get to know each other a little better.
I was the founder of the Splunk user group for the Lincoln/Omaha area, Splunk402. I have been part of the SplunkTrust since the founding. I was the 2022 Splunkie award winner for Community. I have been involved in coaching of youth sports. I have coached athletes as young as pre-kindergarten through high school students. I have helped athletes through coaching and mentoring in tee ball, baseball, wrestling, weight training, and track and field. Most recently I have been the assistant coach and defensive coordinator for a youth football team as well as a grade school soccer coach. I have been privileged to help grow my own children through sports as one of their coaches or their biggest supporter on the sidelines.
Bryan Pluta
Splunk
Bryan enjoys working with data and problems of all sizes and shapes. The majority of his career he has focused on security but has started to open his purview in the last few years. His fifteen years of security experience has taken him through analyst, engineering, architect, consulting and management positions. He spent over eight years on various DoD operation floors, primarily in the cyber domain. After that he worked for a large global MSSP, consulting with organizations on their security programs and log management journey. He helped those organizations mature their programs, fight fraud, and respond to security incidents. Bryan likes to think outside the box when developing solutions to complex problems.
