download case study
Summary:	UT uses ArcSight ESM to better protect their network against attacks and minimize damage. Leveraging ArcSight solutions, UT has reduced response times, improved network performance and automated compliance.
Business Challenge:	UT, plus a large research facility that they co-manage, are prime targets for hackers and insider threat. UT had deployed a variety of security point devices, but discovered they didn't have the manpower or budget to sift through the millions of event logs they were generating to adequately protect their network or demonstrate compliance.
Solution:	By intelligently monitoring and managing millions of log events each day, ArcSight ESM allows UT to filter out information that is unimportant, and reduce false positives. They are immediately alerted to suspicious events and can now automate the time-consuming processes related to regulatory compliance.
Benefits:	UT is now able to better protect their network against attacks and minimize any potential damage. "ArcSight allows us to find the proverbial needle in the haystack," says James Perry, Director of IT Security and Compliance. "With ArcSight we are turning the corner from being a reactive organization when it comes to security, to becoming a much more proactive one."
