Case Study: Leading Community Hospital strengthens security and saves 50–60 hours/month on security issues with Trend Micro

Leading Community Hospital Increases Security, Reduces Time Spent on Security Issues by 50-60 hours

An Ontario community hospital with about 4,000 employees and a complex IT estate (roughly 2,800–3,000 desktops, 600–700 servers and 200+ apps) faced mounting security gaps from a patchwork of vendor tools, a three-person IT team, and the shift to remote work during COVID-19. The Chief Information Security Officer needed an affordable, coordinated security strategy and single-pane-of-glass visibility to reduce vulnerabilities and consistently manage patches and threats across on‑premises and cloud environments.

The hospital standardized on Trend Micro’s integrated suite (Apex One, Apex Central, Deep Security, Deep Discovery and Messaging Security) to centralize management, protect endpoints and servers, and enable virtual patching for dispersed devices. The results: no data loss or downtime from ransomware, 24/7 availability of critical systems, faster detection and remediation, increased executive confidence, and a reclaimed 50–60 hours per month previously spent on security issues.
