Case Study: Phoenix Suns Organization achieves deep IT visibility and proactive security with LogRhythm

Phoenix Suns Draft LogRhythm to Gain Deep Visibility into IT and Secure Matters

The Phoenix Suns Organization, whose lean IT team of four supports 40 servers, 350 users and the IT needs of the US Airways Center, struggled to keep up with a growing infrastructure and the 24/7 demands of sports and events. With limited staff and no practical way to monitor server and application logs, the team risked missing security incidents, performance issues and service-impacting failures.

The Suns deployed a LogRhythm appliance that centralizes, normalizes and analyzes logs from servers, firewalls and applications, alerting staff by SMS, email and phone to anomalies so they can act proactively. The solution was quick to install, easy to use, and—combined with vendor training and support—gave the small IT group real-time visibility, the ability to flag critical issues, prevent outages and detect attacks early, and a scalable platform to grow with the organization.
