Case Study: Meredith Respiratory and Sleep Centre achieves zero ransomware attacks and rapid secure remote access with Perimeter 81

No More Lost Sleep Over Ransomware Attacks

Meredith Respiratory and Sleep Centres, a Sydney-based healthcare provider, was repeatedly hit by monthly ransomware attacks because staff used Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to access on‑premise patient records and accounting systems. After a particularly critical breach of its accounting system, the clinic engaged Perimeter 81 to rapidly secure remote access and harden its network.

Perimeter 81 deployed its cloud-based Zero Trust Application Access and Premium Plan (Always‑On VPN, Two‑Factor Authentication, split tunneling and site‑to‑site interconnectivity) within hours, eliminating ransomware incidents and restoring reliable remote work. The result: zero ransomware attacks since the switch, a 3‑hour purchase‑to‑deployment timeline, a 90% reduction in remote user maintenance (from ~10 hours to under 1 hour monthly), and AU$6,000 saved annually on VPN licenses.
