Case Study: Adventist Health achieves robust patient-data protection while safely embracing new technology with Forcepoint Web Security

Adventist Health - Customer Case Study

Adventist Health is a not‑for‑profit healthcare system operating 20 hospitals, 275+ clinics and 15 home‑care agencies across California, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington, supporting roughly 31,000 staff, physicians and volunteers. Confronted with strict HIPAA/Omnibus requirements and an expanding attack surface from smartphones, tablets and connected medical devices, the organization needed to adopt new technology without putting patient records and financial data at risk.

To meet that challenge Adventist Health deployed Forcepoint Web Security and SIEM integrations to provide cloud‑based sandboxing, global threat intelligence, site blocking and monitoring of unsanctioned cloud services. The solution yields forensics‑rich alerts, blocks advanced web and device‑based threats (detecting multiple incidents weekly), reduces on‑prem hardware needs through a subscription model, and significantly improves the health system’s ability to detect, contain and comply when potential data‑theft vectors are identified.
