Case Study: Howard, LLP achieves 24x7 threat detection and cloud visibility with Arctic Wolf Networks

Arctic Wolf Helps Howard, LLP Strengthen Its Security Posture Amid Growing Cyberthreats in the Accounting Industry

Howard, LLP, a Dallas-based accounting and consulting firm with more than 100 employees and thousands of clients, faced rising cybersecurity risk from growth, a BYOD culture, extensive cloud use, limited IT staff (fewer than five), and alert fatigue. After a year-long evaluation of vendors, Howard selected Arctic Wolf’s Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and Concierge Security® Team to gain 24x7 monitoring, greater network and cloud visibility, and a proactive, vendor‑neutral security approach.

Arctic Wolf deployed its MDR to monitor Howard’s network, endpoints, and cloud apps (including Box and Microsoft 365), integrating with the firm’s existing stack without new servers or added headcount. The engagement eliminated alert fatigue, delivered faster detection and response, and produced concrete wins — for example, Arctic Wolf flagged an off‑country login in Mexico and detected a compromised client email attachment (three recipients clicked but the issue was quickly remediated). Howard reports greater assurance, comprehensive visibility, and an ongoing trusted partnership with Arctic Wolf.
