The hospital gradually increased the amount of data directed to the service, leveraging Arctic Wolf's 'all-you-can-eat' approach to monitor all logs without breaking the budget.

Additionally, Arctic Wolf assisted in securing the hospital's telemedicine program by isolating medical equipment from school networks and alerting the hospital to any suspicious activity.
