One of the largest teaching hospitals in the Northeast had been attacked by three different computer viruses in six months. The IT team realized that their sole line of defense at the time, anti-virus software, was leaving them open to malware and other vicious threats. With almost 30,000 inpatients, more than 500,000 outpatient visits, and more than 16,000 surgeries performed annually, this compromised security posture was unacceptable. The hospital now relies on Bit9 Parity to identify, block and mitigate threats that arise from the Internet, e-mail and social networking tools.
