Case Study: Metron Enterprise and Howard County, Maryland

Source: eTelemetry
Date: July 2008
Type: Case Study
Rating: (2)

Overview: Howard County, Maryland, has approximately 3,000 users on its County IT network. Users who engaged in streaming music and inappropriate surfing or had misconfigured PCs, for example, were straining the network and impacting employee use for legitimate work purposes.

The IT department would be routinely asked to analyze hard drives for evidence of inappropriate behavior—a time consuming task that resulted in an extended warning and firing process so that only the most severe cases were investigated.

Howard County required a solution that would quickly and easily give it an ability to monitor the activity on the County network.

Howard County turned to eTelemetry’s Metron.
