The challenge
The healthcare system faced immense pressure to protect sensitive Protected Health Information (PHI) and ensure adherence to the strict security rules of HIPAA, alongside a high risk of ransomware attacks that could disrupt patient care, compromise data, and lead to significant regulatory fines.
It lacked the resources to proactively identify and prioritize vulnerabilities across a sprawling network of medical devices, endpoints, and cloud applications.
The approach
Vijilan deployed a multi-layered solution centered on Managed Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR), powered by CrowdStrike Falcon Identity Protection, to protect patient records from unauthorized access — directly addressing the primary threat vector for healthcare breaches: compromised credentials.
Managed Exposure Management continuously identifies, prioritizes, and remediates system vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, and comprehensive, audit-ready documentation and reporting simplifies and supports HIPAA compliance reviews.
The outcome
The healthcare system achieved a 100% compliance rate, audits that run 3× faster, and a 90% proactive reduction in risk — shifting security from reacting to incidents to preventing breaches by mitigating exploitable risks first.
"In healthcare, a data breach isn't just a financial event—it's a fundamental violation of patient trust. Vijilan's focus on identity protection and proactive exposure management gave us the confidence that we were securing our patient data at the highest level. Their compliance reporting made our HIPAA audits smoother and faster than we ever thought possible."
