Wood County Hospital Gets Proactive on Security Threats with ExtraHop
Wood County Hospital has served the patients of Wood County, Ohio, since 1951.
The CHALLENGE
Wood County Hospital needed to fill the gaps in visibility across the network, strengthen their security posture, and get ahead of threats that would put sensitive patient information at risk.
Without ExtraHop, the investigation would have taken days or weeks, exposing the hospital to potentially catastrophic risk.
Joanne White CIO Wood County Hospital
The Technology Environment
- Wood County Hospital operates the main hospital, off-site medical offices, and eight clinics supported by over 700 clinical, administrative, and IT staff.
WHY REVEALX
Why Wood County Hospital Chose RevealX
Granular visibility
- ExtraHop can delineate the protocols and devices making communications across the network, reducing the need to manually review logs and re-image machines.
Reduced complexity
- ExtraHop supported many healthcare industry-specific applications and protocols out of the box, and also offered visibility into application and infrastructure performance, making it broadly applicable to the IT team.
Faster time to value
- ExtraHop began surfacing concrete insight via dashboards and analytics right out of the box without requiring any customization.
The Outcome
Stopping ransomware and protecting patient and hospital data
Half the price, double the value
- "In the evaluation, ExtraHop delivered immediate value out of the box and its competitive pricing was the cherry on top. It was a no-brainer," says White.
Neutralizing ransomware
- "Without ExtraHop, the investigation would have taken days or weeks, exposing the hospital to potentially catastrophic risk," says White. "Even the FBI was impressed when they found out how quickly we identified and contained the threat!"
Staying ahead of the security experts
- “The ransomware that the MSSP alerted us to was the very same thing we'd uncovered and resolved with ExtraHop two weeks prior. It took them that long to detect the issue. If we'd relied on them for ransomware prevention, we'd be in a very different position right now,” says White.
