Case Study: Regional Healthcare Organization achieves enhanced security posture and reduced OPEX with NETSCOUT and Splunk

Hospital Achieves Enhanced Security Posture and Reduced OPEX with NETSCOUT and Splunk Integration

A regional healthcare organization serving more than 500,000 patients faced alert overload and fragmented tooling across EDR, NDR and decryption appliances. SOC analysts were forced to switch between interfaces, manually correlate disparate data formats (e.g., timestamps) and open error-prone tickets, which led to long mean-time-to-resolution (often days or weeks).

The hospital deployed Splunk Enterprise as a central alert hub integrated with NETSCOUT Omnis Cyber Intelligence, CyberStream instrumentation and Smart Data enriched by the ATLAS intelligence feed. Centralized, normalized telemetry and a drill-back capability into packet-level context enabled prioritized alerts, faster detection and investigation, and more efficient remediation—reducing MTTR from hours (or longer) to minutes and improving NetOps/SecOps collaboration.
