Case Study: Fisher-Titus Medical Center strengthens patient and device security with Palo Alto Networks Traps

Technology-Savvy Rural Hospital Outsmarts Cybercriminals With Intelligent Prevention of Malicious Exploits

Fisher Titus Medical Center, a community hospital in Ohio, faced the challenge of preventing cyberattacks from compromising its critical medical devices and network, which could disrupt patient care. To address vulnerabilities in aging equipment and stop sophisticated threats, the healthcare provider partnered with Palo Alto Networks to implement its Next-Generation Security Platform.

The solution from Palo Alto Networks provided granular control over network traffic and automatically blocked known and unknown exploits using features like WildFire. This prevented zero-day attacks, enhanced network performance, and consolidated security to avoid thousands in extra costs. The hospital gained a 360-degree view of all network activity and now effectively prevents unauthorized access to its life-critical medical systems.
