Case Study: Leading Regional Hospital (Mid Coast Hospital) achieves stronger patient-data protection and HIPAA compliance with Check Point Software's SandBlast Threat Emulation

Regional Hospital Protects Critical Healthcare Data and Improves Compliance

A leading, award-winning regional hospital in the Northeastern U.S. (about 100 beds and 1,200 users) needed to protect sensitive patient and business data, maintain critical healthcare services, and meet HIPAA and other regulatory requirements amid a rising tide of zero‑day and insider threats.

The hospital deployed Check Point’s cloud-based SandBlast Threat Emulation service alongside the IPS Software Blade on redundant 12400 appliances with unified management. The solution scans around 1,500 files a day and blocks malicious attachments and zero‑day malware before they reach users, improving detection and prevention of targeted attacks while simplifying security management, visibility, and compliance.
