Case Study: Wood County Hospital achieves faster ransomware detection and response with ExtraHop

Wood County Hospital stops ransomware in days with ExtraHop, at less than half the price

Wood County Hospital needed to strengthen its cybersecurity to protect patient data and operations from threats like ransomware. Despite having tools like IDS and a SIEM, the IT team faced alert fatigue and a lack of visibility inside the network. To address this, CIO Joanne White evaluated network traffic analysis solutions, including one from ExtraHop.

ExtraHop provided real-time network traffic analytics that delivered immediate visibility without extensive customization. The solution quickly identified a ransomware attack and other hidden threats, enabling rapid quarantine. This allowed the hospital to neutralize risks far faster than their managed security provider. Furthermore, the ExtraHop solution was implemented at less than half the cost of the competitor and eliminated the need for an expensive specialist.
