Seattle Children's and ExtraHop RevealX: Protecting More Than Data

Security

Security incidents like ransomware and performance issues like unexpected downtime can negatively affect healthcare providers and patient outcomes.


To reduce risk and build resilience, Healthcare Delivery Organizations (HDO) need visibility into every device (including medical and IoT), every application, and every user communicating on the network. When combined with real-time detection and streamlined investigation workflows, healthcare providers can quickly identify and respond to cyber risk in on-premises data centers, public clouds, and remote clinics before they impact patient outcomes.

Challenges

Complex healthcare IT increases risk

Increasingly sophisticated healthcare IT promises more efficient systems that reduce friction, increase speed and accuracy, and deliver improved patient outcomes. However, as healthcare IT grows more complex, it can introduce or exacerbate the risks that threaten the security and performance of healthcare systems, as well as make it more difficult to align with regulations and recommended frameworks.

Compliance

To safeguard healthcare IT systems and the protected health information (PHI) they contain, HDOs must align with regulations such as the HIPAA Security Rule, HHS 405(b), HITECH guidelines, Payment Card Industry Security Standards (PCI DSS), the FDA’s Quality System Regulation (QSR) rules, and more.

Defending Against Ransomware & Advanced Threats

Reducing the likelihood and impact of successful ransomware attacks is made more difficult due to coverage gaps, especially related to blind spots in east-west and encrypted network traffic in complex healthcare IT environments.

Ensuring Service Availability

With a dizzying number of connected devices, databases, software, and remote work stations, healthcare IT networks contain multiple points of potential failure as they expand the attack surface.

Optimizing IT Expenses

Struggling to identify and monitor all devices and software communicating on the network makes it more difficult to reduce inefficiencies, unnecessary redundancies, and costs.

Meeting Demand for Telehealth

As more HDOs and patients take advantage of the speed and convenience of telehealth, providers need to quickly identify security vulnerabilities and performance issues in difficult to monitor telehealth environments.

Take away

As HDOs seek to improve efficiency and reduce risk, they can struggle with gaps in security coverage and operational visibility. Network intelligence across deployment environments is foundational to mitigating risk and ensuring availability.

Solution

ExtraHop RevealX Platform

RevealX instantly delivers the visibility, decryption, detection, and investigation capabilities HDOs need to expose hidden security and performance risks. With network intelligence from RevealX, healthcare organizations can investigate smarter, stop threats faster, and move at the speed of risk.

Solution

Simplify monitoring of complex networks and applications

As healthcare IT environments grow more complex and the risk of downtime increases, HDOs need to unify their visibility and analysis across disparate environments. Packet-level insights from RevealX are the best way to understand and act on network and application performance issues that can negatively impact availability and patient outcomes. While most legacy NPM tools force analysts to use unstructured packets for investigation, RevealX leverages structured wire data and streamlined troubleshooting workflows to reduce time to resolution and ensure reliable user experience.
