Case Study: AUSL Piacenza achieves simplified, centralized IT security and stronger threat prevention with Check Point Software

Check Point Provides Simplified and Efficient IT Security Management for AUSL Piacenza

AUSL Piacenza, the Piacenza Local Health Authority serving about 287,000 residents across five hospitals and seven healthcare centers, needed to modernize a fragmented IT security stack. Faced with sophisticated new threats and multiple vendors, the organization sought to consolidate and simplify its infrastructure, protect both network and endpoints, centralize management and reporting, and operate from a single control point.

Working with integrator Lantech Longwave, AUSL Piacenza deployed Check Point Quantum Security Gateways—two 5800 NGTXs with SandBlast for front‑end protection and two 5400 NGTPs for the back‑end—replacing eight devices and unifying management with Check Point SmartEvent. The result was fewer machines and resources, stronger threat prevention and reporting, simplified centralized management under a single vendor, and a five‑year maintenance agreement for ongoing support.
