Case Study: University Children's Hospital achieves rapid, zero‑impact threat detection and PHI protection with Fidelis Cybersecurity's Deception Platform

A University Children’s Hospital Strengthens Security with Fidelis Cybersecurity’s Intelligent Deception Platform

University Children's Hospital, part of a major North American university and handling over 500,000 patient visits annually across thousands of users and roughly 7,000 endpoints, faced strict HIPAA requirements and the risk of advanced persistent threats. Wanting a rapid, low-impact way to detect internal suspicious activity without flooding staff with false positives, the hospital selected Fidelis Cybersecurity and its Fidelis Deception platform.

Fidelis Cybersecurity deployed the out-of-line, agentless Fidelis Deception within hours, seeding decoys and breadcrumbs to lure attackers, monitor lateral movement and C2 traffic, and produce forensic trails. The solution immediately uncovered activity that had bypassed existing controls—identifying unauthorized scanners and tool uploads—enabling staff to block offenders, reduce alert noise, prioritize actionable incidents, and gain continuous 24/7 visibility, delivering immediate ROI.
