Richmond Ambulance Authority Turns to Webroot to Protect Mobile Devices

Tags:
network security

Overview Richmond Ambulance Authority (RAA) provides Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to more than 200,000 people across Richmond, Va., making it one of the busiest per-capita systems in the nation. RAA needed a comprehensive Web security solution that would allow administrators to monitor and manage Internet activity while providing an extra layer of protection against Web-based viruses, spyware and other complex threats. Webroot provides a Service Level Agreement (SLA) to guarantee 99.99 percent uptime and defense against 100 percent of known viruses and spyware. A zero-hour heuristic filter protects against new and unknown threat variants, and advanced heuristics identify phishing sites in real-time in order to help keep sensitive data secure.
