Case Study: Elara Caring achieves continuous protection from ransomware and advanced threats with Cymulate

Elara Caring Optimize Their SOC and SIEM Vendors With Cymulate

Elara Caring, one of the largest at‑home healthcare providers in the U.S. serving over 60,000 patients daily across 200+ facilities with a 35,000‑strong workforce, faced urgent cyber risk after CISA warnings about imminent ransomware and supply‑chain attacks. With a security team of just two, Elara’s board tasked CISO Eric Bowerman to assess how vulnerable the enterprise was and to test existing and potential new controls — a challenge they addressed with help from Cymulate’s security validation capabilities.

Cymulate delivered fast, automated, continuous security validation that analyzed Elara Caring’s exposure to ransomware and advanced threats, and helped evaluate, select, implement and optimally configure a new EDR while testing and optimizing their managed SOC and SIEM services. Implemented in only a few weeks, Cymulate now enables Elara Caring to continuously test controls, validate third‑party security services, and rapidly run and remediate against emerging threats — giving the small security team measurable confidence protecting the organization’s 200+ facilities and 60,000+ patients.
