Case Study: Think Whole Person Healthcare achieves robust endpoint protection and faster incident response with Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR

Think Whole Person Healthcare Secures Endpoints with Cortex XDR, Providing Unified Threat Prevention, Behavioral Analytics, and Forensics for Incident Response

Think Whole Person Healthcare, a large independent primary care organization and ACO serving 42,000 patients, needed to secure confidential medical, financial, and personal data across physical endpoints and a non‑persistent virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). While their VDI strategy limited persistent threats between sessions, it didn’t stop phishing, in‑session malicious behavior, or risks from physical devices and servers.

They deployed Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR across virtual and physical endpoints to add advanced prevention, behavioral analytics, and forensic visibility. Cortex XDR automatically stops malicious processes from phishing, detects behaviors traditional AV misses, preserves session logs in a non‑persistent VDI for fast forensics, reduced root‑cause investigations from hours to minutes, and prevented insecure data transfers via USB.
