Fortinet Delivers End-to-End Security Without Compromising Patient Care for Leading Organizations
Criminal attacks in healthcare are up 125 percent since 2010 and are now the leading cause of data breach. Healthcare organizations are under pressure to address the rapidly changing cyber threat environment and lack the resources and processes to protect patient data. And the current wave of advanced threats are getting increasingly better at slipping past perimeter security to reach the unprotected internal network. It’s apparent that these medical organizations need multiple layers of security, including internal segmentation to manage and mitigate these rising threats. While edge firewalls do an excellent job of protecting the network border, internal segmentation helps protects critical patient data and limits damage if a breach occurs.

Healthcare organizations of all sizes, with a variety of security needs, are implementing Fortinet solutions to keep business and patient information safe.

  • Barnabas Health
    • Barnabas Health is New Jersey’s largest integrated healthcare delivery system, with 7 hospitals, including two children's hospitals, 95 physician medical groups, an ambulatory care center, a statewide behavioral health network, and comprehensive home health and hospice services. Fortinet outfitted the health system with flexible and reliable Next Generation Firewalls, Internal Segmentation Firewalls, and Security Management appliances to connect and secure highly diverse and distributed care practices to the Barnabas Health data center. The new network will address the growing concerns for real-time secure access to sensitive information.
  • Riverside Healthcare
    • Riverside Healthcare is a fully integrated healthcare system serving patients in the Illinois counties of Kankakee, Iroquois, Will, Grundy and beyond. Riverside implemented the FortiGate, FortiAPs, FortiWeb, FortiAnalyzer, FortiManager and FortiMail solutions to provide encryption, advanced malware and messaging protection, network segregation, and unified threat management for all of Riverside’s applications and for its affiliate organizations. The breadth of portfolio, continuous security updates, and overall lowered total cost of ownership has allowed Riverside Healthcare to securely deliver cutting-edge IT services to its caregivers and patients while ensuring sensitive information remains secure.
  • UTHealth School of Public Health
    • With six campuses across the state, UTHealth School of Public Health is the only school of public health in the nation with regional campuses. Working to improve the state of public health in Texas, its school’s research includes high volume of claims data records from various sources, which at times contains personally identifiable information (PII) to evaluate geographic variations in the utilization and quality of health care services for the population in various areas in Texas. UTHealth School of Public Health deployed Fortinet’s FortiDB, a high performance database firewall, to protect its high value claims data and prevent a possible data breach. With Fortinet solutions, UTHealth School of Public Health was quickly and easily able to implement an internal IT control framework for active database activity monitoring and IT auditing to support regulatory compliance.
