Case Study: Sierra View Medical Center achieves real-time risk visibility and faster remediation with Rapid7

Rapid7 InsightVM Helps Sierra View Medical Center Prioritize Risk and Remediate Fast

Sierra View Medical Center, a 1,100-employee hospital in Porterville, CA supporting ~1,200 endpoints, 300 servers, and 1,500 networked devices, was struggling with outdated vulnerability data and limited staffing: the only full-time information security practitioner had to rely on quarterly or biannual scans and manual spreadsheets, leaving endpoints and internal systems insufficiently patched and the organization exposed to growing healthcare-targeted threats.

By deploying Rapid7 Nexpose and InsightIDR with the unified Insight Agent, Sierra View gained real-time visibility, a granular Real Risk Score, live dashboards, and Remediation Projects to prioritize and assign fixes. Within six weeks the team resolved 12% of server vulnerabilities and 7% of VDI bugs, moving from firefighting to measurable, prioritized remediation and much better control over organizational risk.
