Case Study: Nevada Department of Transportation achieves stronger security and operational efficiency with Carahsoft-delivered Splunk Enterprise

Nevada Department of Transportation - Customer Case Study

The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) turned to Carahsoft for Splunk Enterprise to gain better reporting and visibility across its 5,400‑mile highway system, statewide 511 service and video camera network. NDOT’s information security officer needed to document web activity, identify security vulnerabilities and attempted hacks, and replace tedious, unreliable manual log reviews with a centralized, systematic log-collection and analysis capability.

Carahsoft implemented Splunk Enterprise dashboards that aggregated logs from web/FTP servers, servers, switches, routers, firewalls, traffic control systems and printers; this let NDOT detect and reconfigure a remotely targeted firewall the same day, uncover a faulty FTP script, resolve intermittent login and video-display issues in days instead of weeks, and identify printer settings that saved the agency thousands of dollars. The Carahsoft-supported Splunk deployment delivered immediate operational visibility, faster root-cause analysis, a stronger security posture and measurable cost savings, and NDOT is expanding use across 511, help desk, databases and Active Directory.
