Case Study: Government Health Agency achieves patient-data protection and reduced cyber risk with Tenable Networks

Government Health Agency - Customer Case Study

A government health agency overseeing 150+ hospitals and 125,000+ staff faced a rapidly expanding attack surface as healthcare digitization increased threats to sensitive patient data. Their cybersecurity teams needed to reduce exposures across metro and rural sites, deliver accurate executive reporting, roll out a single solution to 25+ IT teams, streamline incident response, and non‑intrusively monitor critical IoT biomedical devices.

They deployed Tenable.io with Nessus Network Monitor to gain continuous, organization‑wide visibility and actionable dashboards. The cloud solution was rolled out statewide in two months, eliminated spreadsheet-based reporting, enabled passive monitoring of IoT devices, and provided a consolidated view of cyber risk—improving efficiency, reducing blind spots, and supporting the agency’s mission to protect patients and improve care.
