Case Study: Stillwater Medical Center achieves rock-solid antivirus protection and improved system performance with VIPRE

Oklahoma Hospital Finds a Cure to Its Antivirus Ills with VIPRE

Stillwater Medical Center (SMC), a 117‑bed acute care hospital in Stillwater, OK with more than 1,000 employees and a dozen satellite locations, faced repeated system crashes and inadequate protection after its antivirus vendor released an unstable upgrade. Concerned about HIPAA‑regulated data exposure, SMC looked for a replacement and selected VIPRE as its endpoint protection vendor.

VIPRE’s all‑in‑one solution—real‑time malware scanning, firewall, web filtering, email protection and a “Road Warriors” policy for remote users—was rolled out to the Stillwater facility and a dozen locations, protecting 1,000+ users and over 250 servers. After deployment VIPRE delivered easier management (weekly reports and real‑time alerts), improved workstation performance, and blocked multiple Trojan downloaders, which SMC credits with preventing several potential incidents, making VIPRE the hospital’s most reliable and cost‑effective antivirus to date.
