Use Cases	Cybersecurity
Services	System Integration
Challenge	Adventist Health, a not-for-profit health care organization, was facing a major challenge in safely embracing new technology without putting the hospital chain’s patient database at risk. The healthcare sector faces some very specific regulatory and legal requirements, as well as medical technology obstacles to maintaining its data integrity. The more powerful and sophisticated digital technology becomes, the easier it is to use and save lives. Unfortunately, technological advances also make it easier for cybercriminals to access and exploit critical data. This mixed blessing of technological advancement and more sophisticated cybercrime is the new reality going forward. The growth curve of the cyber threat landscape is both steep and evolutionary; thus the growth curve of cyber defense solutions that effectively address those threats must be so as well. Adventist Health faces threats as they adopt new technology safely and effectively. Read More
About Customer	Adventist Health is a not-for-profit health care organization which operates facilities throughout the western U.S. states of California, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington. It is run by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Its heritage dates back to 1866 when the first Seventh-day Adventist health care facility opened in Battle Creek, Michigan. Currently, Adventist Health contains 20 hospitals, more than 275 clinics, 15 home care agencies and a workforce of 31,000 employees, physicians, and volunteers. Read More
Solution	Adventist Health moved into the SEIM (security event and incident management) environment with strategic partners that specifically include Forcepoint. A foundational part of their threat defense strategy has been to build a comprehensive infrastructure that mitigates threats. This appears on a portal, identifying the threat, the user and the forensics. Forcepoint also handles this through the Cloud, heading off hundreds of threats of different types, such as obfuscated Java scripts, bot networks and unauthorized data postings. With the Drop Box services, Forcepoint monitors usage and issues alerts if someone is using an unauthorized service provider. The service issues reports listing users who are not in compliance.
