Case Study: University of Arizona improves remote learning and campus safety with Splunk

University of Arizona regains visibility in 2 weeks with Splunk

The University of Arizona faced the challenge of rapidly transitioning its 60,000 students, faculty, and staff to a fully remote environment at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This shift created a lack of visibility into network usage and the performance of remote-learning tools, while also placing unprecedented strain on its VPN and raising new security concerns.

Using Splunk Remote Work Insights (RWI), the university unified data from its VPN, SSO, MFA systems, and Zoom traffic to regain visibility and make data-driven decisions. The solution from Splunk enabled the IT team to quickly identify and resolve performance issues, improve security, and even discover that some students lacked reliable internet, leading the university to set up new wireless networks in remote areas.
