Case Study: Dayton Children's Hospital achieves zero-trust medical device security with Ordr

Dayton Children’s Hospital secures 25,000 devices in 5 minutes with Ordr

Dayton Children's Hospital, a pediatric healthcare provider, faced significant cybersecurity challenges due to a proliferation of approximately 25,000 IoT and medical devices on its network. With limited resources, the organization needed to secure these devices, many of which ran on legacy systems and could not support modern endpoint protection, to protect patient safety and data from cyberattacks.

The hospital implemented a zero-trust architecture using solutions from Ordr and Cisco, including OrdrAI Protect. This provided complete device visibility, classification, and automated segmentation. The results were a dramatically reduced attack surface and a faster response to threats, as evidenced when the system automatically quarantined five MRI machines within minutes of a ransomware scan, preventing infection and ensuring patient care was uninterrupted.
