OfficeMax deployed StealthWatch for cost-effective identification and remediation of worms, viruses, spyware and other malicious activity across the internal enterprise network. To maintain the integrity of its extensive and complex network, OfficeMax selected StealthWatch for its scalable security monitoring, actionable contextual network and host intelligence, efficient network troubleshooting and minimal administrative requirements.

“Prior to deploying StealthWatch, OfficeMax’s security team relied heavily on network sniffing capabilities provided by the network team”, said Keith Weisman, senior security engineer for OfficeMax. “The security team is now much better positioned to deal with active threats. StealthWatch is an incredibly accurate solution and provides valuable contextual information about network activity.”
