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

Mercy Health strengthens cyber defense across 23 hospitals with FairWarning

Mercy Health, the largest non-profit healthcare system in Ohio, faced escalating and sophisticated cyber threats targeting sensitive patient and employee data. These risks, originating from both external attackers and internal sources like phishing and risky employee behavior, created a critical need for a stronger defense. To address this challenge, Mercy Health partnered with FairWarning to improve its privacy, compliance, and security posture.

By implementing FairWarning's user-activity monitoring and analytics tools, Mercy Health gained continuous monitoring, forensic investigation capabilities, and flexible alerting. The solution from FairWarning enabled faster detection and response to threats, fostered stronger senior-leadership support through clear reporting, and helped build a more resilient security posture against internal and external data breaches. This team-based approach also included mandatory employee training, further strengthening the organization's overall defense.
