Case Study: Temple Health achieves full Microsoft E5 adoption and faster threat detection with Trustwave

Temple Health Partners with Trustwave for Robust Microsoft E5 Cybersecurity Transition

Temple Health, a Philadelphia-based academic medical center with about 10,000 staff and hundreds of thousands of annual patient interactions, needed a partner to support its move to a Microsoft E5 security environment (Sentinel and Defender). Incumbent MSSPs could spot attacks but struggled to respond and lacked deep E5 expertise, so Temple Health selected Trustwave for its proven Sentinel/Defender experience and 24/7 monitoring, alert triage, and incident investigation capabilities.

Trustwave ran joint Sentinel and Defender workshops with Microsoft, then delivered a Co‑Managed SOC for Microsoft Sentinel, MDR for Microsoft Defender, Cyber Advisory, and DbProtect, while monitoring Epic logs for indicators of compromise. The engagement enabled Temple Health to consolidate its security stack, retire prior vendor contracts, gain faster response and fuller system visibility (including proactive alerts such as password‑spray detection), achieve better return on its E5 investment and realize significant financial savings under Trustwave’s management.
