Case Study: Mercy Health achieves team-based defense against cybercrime with FairWarning

FairWarning and Mercy Health Team-Up to Defend Against Cybercrime

Mercy Health, the largest non-profit healthcare system in Ohio with 23 hospitals and hundreds of care sites, faced escalating, highly sophisticated cyber threats targeting patient and employee data. With healthcare now a top target for attackers and risks coming from both outside and inside the organization—phishing, compromised HR systems, and risky employee behavior—Mercy needed a way to defend against many simultaneous threat vectors and close communication gaps between HR, compliance, legal and security teams.

Mercy built a team-based defense that added FairWarning to its privacy, compliance and security lineup, giving the organization continuous user-activity monitoring, forensic investigation, advanced visualization/reporting, statistical analysis of user behavior, flexible alerting and user education tools. The result: faster detection and response, stronger senior-leadership support driven by clear reports, mandatory employee training tied to core values, and a much more resilient posture against internal and external data breaches.
