Case Study: Surescripts raises its security posture with ProtectWise

Surescripts Finds the Right Prescription to Raise Its Security Posture with ProtectWise

Surescripts, a leading medical information exchange service provider in the U.S., faced the challenge of protecting billions of sensitive healthcare transactions from cyber thieves. Their existing defense-in-depth strategy had potential blind spots, and they lacked the resources to manage the infrastructure of a traditional security solution. They turned to the vendor ProtectWise and its cloud-based platform, The ProtectWise Grid, to enhance their security posture.

The ProtectWise solution was deployed with passive sensors that sent full-fidelity network traffic to the cloud, creating a lasting network memory. This provided Surescripts with visibility into blind spots and enabled automated retrospective searches for threats. The results included improved incident response and a powerful visualization tool that helped the CISO demonstrate the ROI of security investments to executives. ProtectWise became an integral part of their security stack, allowing analysts to focus on strategic analysis rather than infrastructure management.
