Case Study: Operation Smile strengthens global patient data security with ThreatSTOP

Operation Smile - Customer Case Study

Operation Smile, the international medical charity, needed to secure highly sensitive patient records spread across on-premise and Microsoft Azure databases in more than 60 countries. Its small IT team was looking for a way to protect electronic medical records from increasingly targeted cyberattacks while keeping security policies consistent across its global environment.

ThreatSTOP provided the solution with its IP Firewall at headquarters and DNS Firewall for Azure, helping Operation Smile block inbound attacks, prevent outbound communications with threat actors, and stop malware from “phoning home.” The result was immediate visibility into firewall activity and a unified security approach across cloud and on-premise systems, which helped Operation Smile stay ahead of hackers and better protect patient data.
