Imperva's IoT Solution Boosts Security and Performance for ALYN Woldenberg Hospital

ALYN Woldenberg Family Hospital, Israel’s only pediatric rehabilitation facility, was facing a significant challenge in securing its website and customer database of over 70,000 patients. The hospital's IT team was particularly concerned about the security of their content management system (CMS), as they felt their existing cybersecurity vendor was not updating the security on their CMS frequently enough. This left them vulnerable to cyberattacks, a growing concern in the healthcare industry. The hospital also had to consider patient privacy and regulatory compliance in their search for a new cybersecurity solution. The cost-benefit ratio and the constraints of a small IT team meant they needed a managed system that was easy to integrate and required minimal upkeep. Initially hesitant to move to a cloud-based system due to strict government regulations, they were also concerned about the potential weak points in their special projects website, which was used for resource development and event coordination.

ALYN Woldenberg Family Hospital is the only pediatric rehabilitation facility in Israel. Founded by Dr. Henry Keller in 1932, the hospital hosts its main website in four languages and across three different domains. It also has a special projects website in both Hebrew and English, used for resource development and to coordinate special events. The hospital has a customer database of more than 70,000 patients. The hospital's IT team was concerned about the potential for cyberattacks, particularly through the events site, which could provide hackers with easier access to their systems.
