Case Study: Brodstone Memorial Hospital achieves email security peace of mind with OpenText Cybersecurity (Zix Email Threat Protection)

Brodstone Memorial Hospital Achieves Peace of Mind and Security Ease with Zix Email Threat Protection

Brodstone Memorial Hospital is a 25‑bed critical access hospital in rural Nebraska whose clinical operations have grown increasingly dependent on IT. Tim Hiatt, the hospital’s IT manager, faced daily email security headaches—manually marking suspicious messages, blocking accounts and countries, and maintaining clumsy filters—so he needed an intuitive, “set‑and‑forget” solution to protect staff and patient data.

In 2015 Brodstone implemented Zix Email Threat Protection and archiving, gaining URL rewriting, attachment sandboxing, spoofing defense, advanced filtering, and a more capable admin console. The result: fewer malicious emails, easier searching and reduced server load from archiving, HIPAA compliance, and about one to two hours saved per day for IT—delivering the “peace of mind” Hiatt says Zix provides.
