Case Study: a Chicago-based IT firm strengthens healthcare portal security and speed with Beyond Key’s Cloudflare implementation

a Chicago-based IT firm secures 120+ healthcare clinics with Beyond Key

The customer, a Chicago-headquartered IT provider managing technology for over 120 healthcare clinics, faced significant challenges with its patient portal. The portal was vulnerable to DDoS attacks, bot traffic, and security threats like SQL injection, which caused downtime and risked HIPAA compliance. Beyond Key was engaged to implement a solution to boost security and performance.

Beyond Key rapidly implemented Cloudflare to deliver robust security, performance, and reliability improvements for the healthcare portal. This solution successfully mitigated DDoS attacks, stopped malicious bot traffic, and provided a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to prevent common threats. The implementation resulted in a more secure, faster, and highly reliable portal, ensuring better patient care and restoring client trust.
