Case Study: Beckman Coulter strengthens patient data protection and compliance with Guardicore Centra

Beckman Coulter Safeguards Patient Data with Guardicore

Beckman Coulter, a global manufacturer of medical laboratory equipment serving major healthcare systems worldwide, needed to protect sensitive patient data and ensure product integrity as it expanded into regional, public, and private cloud environments. Faced with strict compliance requirements including HIPAA, GDPR, PIPEDA, and FIPPA, the company wanted better visibility into traffic flows, threat activity, and data movement before launching cloud services. To address these challenges, Beckman Coulter evaluated Guardicore Centra Security Platform, which provided visibility, breach detection, and automated response capabilities.

Using Guardicore Centra Security Platform, Beckman Coulter gained full visibility into cloud traffic, identified surprising bot activity, and improved its ability to detect, investigate, and respond to threats without impacting performance. The solution helped the company strengthen patient-data protection, support breach-forensics needs, and demonstrate compliance and security controls to customers and regulators. According to Beckman Coulter, Guardicore’s protections and visibility were highly reassuring, and the platform is now part of its global rollout plans for data centers and cloud installations.
