Case Study: Lehigh Valley Hospital achieves improved IT security and HIPAA compliance with EventTracker

Lehigh Valley Hospital - Customer Case Study

Lehigh Valley Hospital, a major academic community hospital, needed a way to maintain HIPAA compliance and strengthen IT security across a heterogeneous, geographically dispersed environment. The hospital selected EventTracker to collect and correlate event logs from Windows, UNIX/Linux servers, network devices and workstations so they could detect unauthorized access, logon failures and other patterns indicating a breach, while providing real-time alerts and role-based reporting for different functional groups.

EventTracker was deployed on Windows servers to centralize log collection and real-time correlation, and is monitoring about 150 systems across three main and two remote sites with plans to scale to over 5,000 devices. The solution delivered HIPAA-mapped predefined reports, forensic-quality evidence for investigations, role-based access and a collection-point architecture; these features reduced the need for human review for the majority of tasks, improved detection and response times, and streamlined compliance reporting. EventTracker’s quick implementation and responsive support further reinforced the hospital’s security posture.
