Case Study: VM Racks achieves HIPAA-compliant protection and blocks 200,000+ attacks per month with ThreatSTOP

VM Racks - Customer Case Study

VM Racks, a San Marcos-based provider of enterprise virtualization and HIPAA-compliant hosting for healthcare customers, needed stronger protection for PHI and EMR data against DDoS, brute force, zero-day, and other advanced attacks. Even with existing firewalls, the company still saw hostile traffic from around the world and needed customizable, policy-based IP whitelisting. ThreatSTOP provided the IP reputation solution VM Racks used to add an extra layer of security.

ThreatSTOP deployed its IP reputation service in less than an hour, giving VM Racks “outside-in” protection that blocks bad IPs before traffic reaches the firewall. As a result, VM Racks now blocks over 200,000 attacks per month, stops DDoS and brute force attacks at the perimeter, and reduces strain on existing devices and network resources while maintaining flexible whitelist policies.
