Case Study: UC San Diego Medical Center achieves patient-data protection and secures 3,700 workstations with Webroot Spy Sweeper Enterprise

Webroot Spy Sweeper Enterprise Helps University of California, San Diego Medical Center Protect Patient Data and Secure Network against Online Threats

UCSD (University of California San Diego Medical Center) was struggling with widespread spyware, pop-up ads and degraded workstation performance across roughly 3,700 desktops and kiosks despite existing antivirus and content filtering. To stop frequent reimaging and better protect patient data, UCSD evaluated antispyware options and selected Webroot’s Spy Sweeper Enterprise for its detection effectiveness and centralized management.

Webroot deployed Spy Sweeper Enterprise across the network using a centrally managed console; initial scans identified and removed over 4,000 potentially unwanted items and IT reported noticeable performance improvements. Webroot’s real‑time Smart Shields continue to block spyware, Trojans, keyloggers and rootkits, and the centralized administration has reduced remediation work, saving IT time and operational costs.
