Network & managed securityInvited
Med Center Health, Kentucky puts more than 4,000 devices under 24/7 managed detection in one day
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete, adopted in 2023: more than 4,000 devices protected within a single day; 4,500 workstations, 900 servers and more than 8,000 user accounts now under 24/7 coverage; three endpoint agents replaced by one sensor (as reported by CrowdStrike)
The problem: A small security team ran separate agents and consoles for every tool, and the previous managed detection service missed alerts and didn't fully remediate threats.

Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Ohio works through a backlog of 11,000 medical device vulnerabilities
Claroty xDome, first put in in 2021: a 76% increase in CVE remediation in one year, patches for over 8,400 CVEs, 70% less biomedical staff time on manual inventory, 60% less time on IoMT risk management and threat response, patching staff cut from 3 to 1 (approximately $250,000 a year saved), and $13 million in estimated replacement costs identified for devices on outdated operating systems (as reported by Claroty)
The problem: The medical center had a backlog of 11,000 CVEs across its connected medical devices, many on outdated operating systems, and spent hundreds of hours a year on manual inventory and ad-hoc patching.

Main Line Health, Pennsylvania finds twice the connected devices it thought it had
A month-long proof of value with the Armis Centrix platform identified IT, IoT and IoMT assets in the low six figures, 2x more than previously estimated; the team then integrated over 15 security tools; no savings figures (as reported by Armis)
The problem: Its asset management system missed much of the IT and medical device estate across five hospitals, so the team couldn't be sure its medical devices were secure.

Dayton Children's Hospital, Ohio quarantines five MRI machines minutes into a partner's ransomware attack
Ordr device data drives zero-trust segmentation on Cisco equipment: when a partner's ransomware began scanning through a shared connection, engineers cut the link within five minutes, and about five minutes later five scanned MRI machines were quarantined automatically; no savings figures (as reported by Ordr)
The problem: About 25,000 devices sat on a flat hospital network, many medical devices could not run modern endpoint protection, and money and staff were limited.

Village of Schaumburg, Illinois resolves security issues in hours, not weeks
Fortinet firewalls with segmentation across 26 locations and endpoint detection and response on 1,000 devices: security issues resolved in hours vs. weeks before, one engineer manages the network across all 26 locations, and the switching was replaced for less than half what the legacy vendor would charge (as reported by Fortinet)
