Healthcare Industry Example Use Case
Challenge
The increasing tran`sition from paper to digital healthcare record-keeping puts patient information and medical records at risk.
Solution
MDR detects ransomware that can bypass traditional anti-virus defenses, spread laterally, and cripple a hospital’s network.
Cisco’s expert investigators research the suspicious file access activity and lateral movement attempts throughout the hospital’s network.
MDR responds by isolating the host, cleaning the infection, and blocking external command and control servers to prevent any other hosts from being infected.
Outcomes
The threat is identified early in the kill chain, contained and eliminated within the hospital’s network to minimize any potential impact and prevent the threat from successfully performing its objectives.
Advanced security analytics and automation are utilized to deliver alerts with correlated insights and actionable next steps tailored to the hospital’s security operational policies.
