Case Study: Adventist Health achieves stronger patient-data protection and fewer false positives with Proofpoint

Adventist Health - Customer Case Study

Adventist Health, a faith-based, not-for-profit integrated health system, needed to replace its expiring email security solution and was looking for stronger protection for PHI, PCI and SSNs, top-tier encryption, reliable spam/malware filtering, fewer false positives, and better user education—while ensuring HIPAA compliance and evaluating a cloud deployment without compromising patient data.

Adventist chose Proofpoint’s cloud email security and privacy suites, using preset and customizable DLP rules, Smart Send for user self-remediation, fine-grained fingerprinting of medical identifiers, and robust encryption and filtering. The solution reduced false positives, improved compliance and reporting, freed IT resources, delivered high availability, and helped protect patient data and preserve patient trust.
