Challenges

  • No visibility into devices on the network
  • Device sprawl, with many computing clinical devices exhibiting low usage
  • Inability to detect suspicious or risky traffic, resulting in weak data and network security

Results

  • Broader visibility into both rogue and new Internet of Things (IoT) and medical devices that connect to the network
  • Insights on usage to determine which devices— from servers to peripherals to medical equipment—are truly adding value to the organization and which ones can be retired
  • Integration with CrowdStrike to enable deeper investigations when suspicious events arise
  • Detection of both encrypted and unencrypted network traffic for better protection of patient data and other regulated healthcare information
  • Big payoff in proportion to the amount of effort required to deploy and manage Armis

Armis shines a light on network-connected devices across IT and clinical settings and monitors data traffic to better secure patient information.

Burke Rehab Hospital is a leading provider of in-patient and out-patient rehabilitative care in New York State. The security team knew they needed to up their game in the area of network security.
After deploying Armis, they were able to expand their visibility into devices connecting to the network, monitor device utilization across the organization, and view unencrypted and encrypted traffic to detect and prevent patient data exfiltration. Burke Rehab continues to discover new use cases for Armis that enhance security and provide operational insights across the entire organization.
