Healthcare Enterprises Share Risk Reduction Insight

Security is important, but it can’t compromise performance, especially within the healthcare system. As these organizations are common targets for cybercriminals—and are regularly audited to ensure compliance with HIPAA, payment card industry (PCI) standards, and other regulations—risk reduction is critical.

DHR Health reduces risk through visibility

DHR Health is a Texan physician-owned health system that offers comprehensive medical care to patients in over 70 sub-specialties. DHR Health’s previous security solution created performance issues that led to slow-running systems, frequent crashes, and complaints from end users. DHR Health needed a security solution that could protect its data, provide visibility into the network, and grow with the organization without impacting performance or workflow.

As DHR partnered with Trend Micro, the health system was provided with a blend of advanced threat protection techniques, such as pre-execution and run-time machine learning and behavior analysis, to eliminate security gaps across endpoints.

Improved visibility helped provide the organization with resiliency across DHR Health’s security landscape. “Not knowing what’s going on is the most dangerous thing. With Trend Micro and the interconnectivity of its products, I know we are protected and that the product is doing its job,” said Tareq Allan, Chief Information Security Officer, DHR Health.
