Illinois Regional Hospital restores data in under 15 minutes with Panzura

Illinois Regional Hospital faced a significant challenge when a ransomware attack, delivered via an email phishing scheme, compromised its entire IT infrastructure and encrypted its data. The hospital partnered with vendor Panzura and its managed-service provider, Datatility, which managed its cloud storage and utilized the Panzura global file system for data protection.

The solution implemented by Panzura utilized its immutable global file system architecture to swiftly stop the attack and restore data to clean versions in less than 15 minutes, preventing any data loss for protected files. As a result of using Panzura, the hospital reduced its related data-storage footprint by nearly 70 percent, eliminated the need for additional backups, and ensured critical patient data remained secure and immediately accessible, minimizing care disruption.
