Case Study: Karlovy Vary Hospital protects patient data and boosts network security with Zyxel

Czech Hospital Protects Confidential Patient Data with ZyXEL Security Solution

Karlovy Vary Hospital in the Czech Republic needed to modernize its outdated network infrastructure while improving security for highly sensitive patient data. The hospital also wanted faster Internet connectivity, better protection against unauthorized network use, and strong price-to-performance value, so it turned to Zyxel and its Unified Security Gateway solution.

Zyxel, working with local implementation partners, deployed a Unified Security Gateway alongside upgraded network components to replace the old 512 Kbps connection with 4 Mbps Internet access and strengthen firewall protection. The solution added anti-virus, anti-spam, IDP, and content filtering capabilities, and the hospital reported that IT administration time was cut by more than 50% while the system ran for over six months without outside intervention or virus damage.
