About The Customer
The customer is a rapidly growing managed healthcare provider focused on delivering high-quality healthcare services. As a mid-sized company, they are expanding their operations and infrastructure to meet increasing demand. The company is committed to maintaining a robust security posture to protect sensitive patient data and ensure compliance with healthcare regulations. They are keen on adopting advanced security solutions to safeguard their network and endpoints from sophisticated cyber threats.
The Challenge
The healthcare provider was undergoing a significant infrastructure upgrade and was concerned about defending against advanced targeted attacks. They had a standard layered security approach but were worried about sophisticated and stealthy attackers. They needed more prevention and detection capabilities for advanced targeted attacks. The organization was growing rapidly but lacked the resources to staff a 24/7 Security Operations Center, making it difficult to proactively hunt for adversary activity.
The Solution
The healthcare provider implemented CrowdStrike's Falcon Host and Falcon Overwatch to enhance their security posture. Falcon Host provided protection against sophisticated targeted attacks and offered visibility into potential threats. Falcon Overwatch's proactive adversary hunting activities allowed the organization to detect and respond to threats quickly. The solution enabled the company to achieve enhanced visibility across their endpoints and the kill chain, empowering them to respond to threats more efficiently.

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.
