Case Study: Rush University System for Health strengthens security and reduces risk with Cisco Meraki solutions

Rush University System for Health mitigates critical application risk in weeks with Cisco Meraki

Rush University System for Health, a major healthcare system, faced the challenge of securing its rapidly growing environment across 65+ locations. As their footprint expanded with hospitals, clinics, and telehealth services, they needed to reduce security risk and gain better visibility into application behavior without adding complexity or disrupting operations. They turned to vendor Cisco Meraki for an integrated security solution.

Cisco Meraki implemented an integrated security architecture featuring Cisco Secure Firewall, Cisco Secure Workload, Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), and Cisco Secure Network Analytics. This solution provided deep visibility and automated policy creation, enabling Rush to mitigate critical application risk in weeks instead of years. The results included a significantly reduced attack surface, accelerated policy development, and measurable progress toward a Zero Trust foundation.
