Case Study: Florida Orthopaedic Institute achieves HIPAA compliance and patient data protection with AT&T Cybersecurity (AlienVault USM)

Florida Orthopaedic Institute is able to assure their patients their data is secure and protected

Florida Orthopaedic Institute is a 500‑person orthopedic practice serving Tampa Bay from a 100,000 sq. ft. main campus and surgery center. Facing strict healthcare regulations (HIPAA, PCI) and the need to assure patients their data is secure, the IT team sought a compliance solution that would be easy and cost‑effective to maintain without adding significant operational overhead.

After evaluating vendors including Splunk, LogRhythm, and SolarWinds, the institute selected AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) for unified compliance reporting, threat detection, incident response, and access to the Open Threat Exchange (OTX). The USM deployment reduced the workload required to meet regulatory requirements, provided the reporting needed to prove compliance, and gave the organization greater confidence that patient data is protected.
