Case Study: VITAS achieves real-time threat visibility and automated prevention with Elastic Endpoint Security

Mitigating risk through real-time threat visibility and prevention with Elastic Endpoint Security

VITAS Healthcare, the nation’s leading hospice provider with more than 12,000 employees and 65 U.S. sites, needed stronger endpoint protections to safeguard sensitive patient data. The security team had outgrown a signature-based antivirus approach amid rising targeted phishing and malware like Emotet, and required a solution that offered real-time visibility, centralized administration, detailed forensics, and easy deployment for a small security staff.

After a proof-of-concept, VITAS deployed Elastic Endpoint Security for its prevention-first, real-time detection and rich EDR forensics. The lightweight, automatable agent integrated with their SIEM and IT tools, reduced manual cleanup and interruptions, improved executive reporting on risk posture, and delivered about $62,000 in annual IT operational savings while significantly strengthening prevention and response.
