Reducing Security Administration Time by 60 Percent for More Efficient City Government With Symantec and Novacoast

Tags:
back-up

Overview Fending off viruses and other malware was straining IT resources at the City of Aurora, Colorado. The existing antivirus software lacked the ability to implement security software updates across a heterogeneous network. The IT staff worked 24-hour days, creating scripts and batch files to respond to new threats. Symantec had already helped the city streamline backup operations, so the IT team deployed a Symantec comprehensive threat management solution. Results include a 60 percent reduction in security administration time spent on software distribution and an end to disruptions from malicious code.
