Case Study: a large healthcare organization reduces data breach risk with Imperva Data Security

a large healthcare organization analyzes 45 billion events per day with Imperva

A large healthcare organization needed to protect vast amounts of sensitive patient data across a sprawling environment, balancing access for care against severe data breach risks. Their existing security was not data-focused, and an early incident prompted them to reprioritize, seeking a solution to secure their most critical databases first. They engaged Imperva and its partner to implement a data security strategy.

Imperva implemented its Data Security solution, using a multi-phased maturity model that initially covered 20 key database servers. The solution leveraged machine learning and behavior analytics to intelligently prioritize threats. The results were significant, distilling 45 billion daily event alerts down to 150 critical ones, which saved millions in Splunk licensing fees and enabled the security team to act on real risks with confidence. Imperva provided automated monitoring and reporting, ensuring both effective security and compliance.
