Case Study: Union Hospital of Cecil County achieves stronger security posture and full Microsoft Exchange visibility with Splunk

Union Hospital Gains Comprehensive Visibility Into Security Landscape and Microsoft Infrastructure

Union Hospital of Cecil County (UHCC) is a 122‑bed, non‑profit full‑service hospital in Maryland that needed to protect patient records while supporting outpatient, surgical and emergency services. Its 30‑person IT team faced gigabytes of logs from firewalls, anti‑malware, domain controllers and Exchange, making manual monitoring, correlation and threat detection slow and impractical—particularly for tracking how email entered and moved through the environment.

Working with BAI Commercial, UHCC deployed Splunk Enterprise plus apps for Microsoft Exchange, Windows Infrastructure, Active Directory and geo‑visualization to ingest and correlate logs across systems. The deployment delivered full visibility into Exchange and the broader infrastructure, enabled near‑instantaneous cross‑referencing of events (reducing investigations from days to minutes), improved detection of APTs and malware, accelerated app development/testing, supported compliance, and increased overall IT efficiency.
