Case Study: Midwest Healthcare Network strengthens Active Directory security with STEALTHbits

TLC for a Long-Neglected Active Directory

A Midwest healthcare network, consisting of 40 locations and 6 hospitals, approached Stealthbits with a significant security challenge. They were fully aware that their neglected Active Directory environment was a mess and out of compliance with HIPAA regulations but did not know how to begin fixing it. They engaged the Stealthbits Professional Services team to conduct a comprehensive security evaluation and provide remediation recommendations.

The Stealthbits team performed a two-month assessment that uncovered critical security flaws. These included an excessive number of users with elevated privileges, the absence of enforced password policies, and a large number of completely open file shares. Stealthbits delivered a detailed report that prioritized the highest-risk issues and provided a clear path to remediation, enabling the healthcare provider to begin securing its sensitive data and reducing its risk profile.
