Technology Category	Analytics & Modeling - Machine Learning Platform as a Service (PaaS) - Application Development Platforms
Applicable Industries	Healthcare & Hospitals National Security & Defense
Applicable Functions	Procurement Quality Assurance
Use Cases	Cybersecurity Tamper Detection
Services	Cybersecurity Services System Integration
Challenge	AMN Healthcare, a leading provider of total talent solutions for healthcare organizations, faced a significant challenge in integrating the cybersecurity systems of 28 recently acquired organizations. These organizations varied in size, from startups with 30-50 employees to established organizations with 2,500 employees, each with their own offices, policies, and frameworks. AMN needed a unified, future-proof security platform to integrate these organizations into their corporate structure, ensuring that every organization was following a singular security standard for detection and response. The challenge was further complicated by the shift to remote work due to COVID-19, which transformed each employee's home into a regional office, creating a lack of visibility and control over home networks.

About Customer	AMN Healthcare is a leading provider of total talent solutions for healthcare organizations across the United States. The company offers access to a comprehensive network of quality healthcare professionals through its innovative recruitment strategies and a wide range of career opportunities. AMN Healthcare serves a diverse clientele, including acute-care hospitals, community health centers and clinics, physician practice groups, retail and urgent care centers, home health facilities, and schools. The company has recently expanded by acquiring 28 organizations of varying sizes, each with its own unique set of cybersecurity needs and challenges. Read More
Solution	AMN Healthcare partnered with Rapid7 to implement a next-gen monitoring solution, Managed Detection and Response (MDR). This solution was chosen for its ability to manage, detect, and respond to threats proactively, even in thousands of work-from-home locations. Rapid7 MDR not only collects and sends logs but actively looks for threats and intercepts them immediately. AMN also adopted other Rapid7 products to address different security gaps, including InsightVM for vulnerability risk management, InsightAppSec for DAST, InsightConnect for key automations, and InsightCloudSec for cloud risk and compliance. The integration of these tools into a single platform simplified the security management process, providing economies of scale, easier support, and easier integration. The single agent approach of Rapid7 reduced the lead time between the exposure of a vulnerability and the vulnerability becoming an active exploit from days to just hours.
