About The Customer
Validium is an employee assistance and wellbeing consultancy based in the United Kingdom. The company works with businesses to improve their organizational cultures, providing a range of services to support employee wellbeing and productivity. As a healthcare provider, Validium handles sensitive data and needs robust security measures to protect its systems and data from cyber threats.
The Challenge
Validium, an employee assistance and wellbeing consultancy, was facing a significant challenge with its on-premises web and email security solution. The system was ineffective, allowing sophisticated attacks to slip through. Malicious code embedded in attachments or URLs led to the organization falling victim to two crypto-ransomware attacks within a few weeks. The system also required frequent manual updates, which were time-consuming and did not necessarily improve functionality.
The Solution
Validium decided to implement Forcepoint's Email Security Cloud and Web Security Cloud with Advanced Malware Detection. This solution offered more effective, efficient, and scalable network protection. The cloud-based system provided advanced protection against sophisticated attacks, including those with malicious code embedded in attachments or URLs. The solution also reduced the need for manual updates, freeing up the Business Projects Department to focus on other tasks. The implementation process was smooth, with immediate results seen.

Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.
