Case Study: Central Oregon Radiology Associates achieves enhanced protection for sensitive medical images and reduced security costs with ExtraHop Reveal(x)

Central Oregon Radiology Safeguards Sensitive Medical Images and Data with ExtraHop Reveal(x)

Central Oregon Radiology Associates (CORA), the region’s largest and longest-standing imaging group, manages hundreds of thousands of sensitive CT, MRI, ultrasound, PET, and X‑ray files for more than 8,000 clinicians across many small, distributed sites. With healthcare increasingly targeted by breaches and a lean IT staff responsible for devices located at partner hospitals and clinics, CORA needed better visibility and control to protect patient data and stay HIPAA‑compliant.

CORA deployed ExtraHop Reveal(x) after a successful proof of concept, gaining real‑time visibility into stored and in‑flight imaging data, detecting unauthorized sharing, and directing the team to issues for rapid mitigation. The solution delivered immediate ROI, shortened training time, improved cross‑team collaboration, and reduced security costs—cutting IT infrastructure monitoring spend by nearly 75% and yielding about 30% cost avoidance by replacing niche providers and outsourced SIEM services.
