A large regional healthcare delivery organization in the Chicagoland area. The organization operates over 15 locations, including a 100+ acre campus with multiple medical buildings, including a hospital with over 300 beds that serve the community.

The customer utilized both on-premises and cloud services to deliver healthcare outcomes. Clinical and business applications were hosted on-premises and through cloud SaaS and IaaS including Sentinel’s CloudSelect^® hosting centers.

The Sentinel team worked closely with the customer to develop and implement a Cyber Clean Room utilizing Cisco and Pure FlashStack technologies. Due to the organization's prior use of FlashStack from Sentinel, operational costs were reduced by leveraging familiar technology that the IT team could efficiently support. The system employed advanced artificial intelligence to detect unusual activity on both production and clean room storage systems. Built upon multiple machine learning and AI engines, the detection capabilities included analysis of atypical data reduction, threats such as ransomware, unusual activities, malicious behavior, and Denial of Service attacks through performance anomalies. Further, Sentinel automated the solution with code to easily automate recovery from most “what if” scenarios possible to speed and automate recovery and testing.

The solution offers over 45 days of recovery points through secure, air-gapped replication, while enabling the customer to make use of existing compute blade investments by relocating them into the clean room as needed. The customer can now provide care while minimizing the risk of significant disruption due to a successful ransomware attack. Recovery time has been reduced from weeks to mere minutes by utilizing Pure's immutable snapshot technology. This ensures the customer can recover and continue providing care even if all defenses fail, without having to turn patients away or transport them elsewhere, thereby avoiding significant financial impact and reducing the risk to human lives.
