Case Study: U.S. Public Health Services Provider secures network and ensures uninterrupted care for millions with Check Point Software's SandBlast Zero-Day Protection

U.S. Public Health Services Provider Safeguards Network Ensuring Quality Health Care Delivery to Millions

A large West Coast public health services provider that treats over 2 million patients annually across 90+ locations faced a growing cyber risk: protecting highly sensitive patient records and keeping internet-connected, life‑saving medical devices online. Any breach or downtime could lead to identity theft, data manipulation, treatment delays, or worse, so the organization needed stronger prevention and better visibility into advanced threats.

The provider deployed Check Point SandBlast Zero‑Day Protection—including Threat Emulation, Threat Extraction, Firewall IPS, App Control, Anti‑Bot/Anti‑Spam and SmartEvent—to stop sophisticated attacks at the network edge. The solution blocked numerous email and web threats (including CPU‑level evasions), eliminated the need for time‑consuming machine rebuilds, delivered single‑pane visibility for a small security team, and materially reduced remediation effort; the organization is now expanding the approach to endpoints with SandBlast Agent.
