Are there any good project ideas. I just started creating dashboard for our network team. I am trying to get more security-based projects and was wondering if there are any good ideas to help me get into security.

Very new to Splunk!

Its a very generic questions 🙂

You have a plenty of possibilities in network area

Authentication
Firewalls
Proxy
WAF
Perimeter securities
Loadbalancing and so on

Have a look at https://www.splunk.com/en_us/blog/learn/network-security.html and https://www.splunk.com/en_us/blog/learn/network-monitoring.html

Splunk is very security focused and has many apps and various options for data etc....

A couple of tips:
When I first started, I had a play with this App, its a great way to learn about security datamodels and dashboards. Its not Splunk ES SIEM but its still very good to have a play with and learn.

The other one to install and have a play with is security essentials - this provide so much security content, again good to learn about. (This is not a SIEM or monitoring app) and its my go to for security use cases.
