Case Study: Citizens Medical Center blocks advanced ransomware attacks with Morphisec

Citizens Medical Center - Customer Case Study

Citizens Medical Center, a 238-bed hospital in Victoria, Texas, needed to protect sensitive patient data across Windows 10 endpoints and VMware Horizon VDI for more than 1,000 doctors, nurses, and administrators. With a lean IT/security team, no dedicated security staff, and limited budget, the hospital needed a way to stop advanced threats without adding operational burden. Morphisec and Windows Defender AV were chosen to help secure the environment while keeping care available around the clock.

Citizens Medical Center deployed Morphisec alongside Microsoft Defender AV to harden endpoints and virtual desktops against unknown and memory-based attacks. Morphisec quickly blocked a Trickbot attack that was attempting to deliver Ryuk ransomware, preventing a potential disruption to emergency critical care. The solution also provided deep visibility into the attack chain and remediation guidance, helping the IT team address additional exposure points and save time and money.
