Case Study: Dayton Children’s Hospital reduces incident response time with Expel MDR

How Dayton Children’s Hospital reduces risk with Expel

Dayton Children’s Hospital partnered with **Expel** to strengthen its healthcare cybersecurity posture. As a pediatric hospital serving a wide region and managing a lean security team, it faced overwhelming alert volume and the challenge of protecting sensitive patient data, connected medical devices, and critical systems around the clock.

Using **Expel’s managed detection and response (MDR)** service, Dayton Children’s gained 24×7 monitoring, automated alert triage, and expert analysis to separate real threats from noise. The result was a major improvement in incident response, cutting cleanup time from 4–5 hours to about 15 minutes, while also reducing false positives, improving security team efficiency, and providing actionable resiliency guidance to strengthen long-term defenses.
