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.
