Clearwater, FL — September 10, 2025 — SP6, a leading cybersecurity and data analytics consulting firm, is proud to announce that Chris Selvig, Director of Professional Services, participated in a high-profile panel discussion at Splunk’s annual .conf conference, held this week.  

The panel, titled “Data-Driven Fraud Prevention: Safeguarding Government Benefits Programs with Advanced Analytics,” featured a collaborative presentation with Joe Beck, CIO, from the New Jersey State Department of Labor, as well as Chris Perkins, Staff Solutions Architect and Dr. Tina Carkhuff, Industry Advisor, both from Splunk.   

As Director of Professional Services, Selvig shared expert insights that highlighted innovative uses of Splunk technology in preventing fraud and protecting public resources. This comes from his past experience partnering with public sector organizations to deploy Splunk for real-time fraud detection, risk mitigation, and enhanced data visibility.  

The session detailed a successful use case with the State of New Jersey, where Splunk’s powerful data platform, paired with strategic implementation, enabled the state to uncover and prevent fraudulent activity across critical systems. 

The open discussion drove a variety of learning opportunities like understanding how visual tools reveal fraud patterns and anomalies for better decision-making, analyzing user behavior detects suspicious activities early, and understanding how prioritizing alerts by risk improves fraud response and resource allocation.  

The panel attracted attendees from across industries interested in cybersecurity, compliance, and fraud prevention. It served as a practical roadmap for other organizations looking to leverage Splunk for operational intelligence and proactive defense strategies. 

Chris was a vital contributor not only to the panel discussion, but a key representative of SP6’s project team that was responsible for driving down fraud in both the State of New Jersey and several other state unemployment systems.
