Protecting a Healthcare Provider from Cyber Threats
Cyberattack defense and compliance solutions for the healthcare industry.
The threat of a cyberattack is higher than ever in the healthcare industry. One Maryland-based healthcare provider recognized the urgency of protecting sensitive patient data, maintaining HIPAA compliance, and ensuring uninterrupted operations. With the growing frequency of ransomware and phishing campaigns, even a single cyberattack could result in devastating consequences for patient care and the organization’s reputation.
Faced with escalating threats—including targeted cyberattacks, insider risks, and operational vulnerabilities—the provider turned to CSU for a comprehensive cybersecurity solution. Our strategy was designed not only to stop attacks but also to create a secure, compliant digital environment for both on-site and remote healthcare operations.


Our Approach
CSU began with a detailed audit of the provider’s infrastructure to identify exposure points and assess their resilience against cyberattacks. From there, we implemented a robust, multi-layered cybersecurity strategy tailored to their regulatory and operational needs. This included:
-
Enterprise-grade firewall protection to prevent unauthorized access and block cyberattacks at the perimeter
-
End-to-end data encryption to protect medical records both in transit and at rest
-
24/7 security monitoring for early detection and fast response to emerging threats
-
Employee training programs to reduce human error and defend against phishing-related cyberattacks
-
A disaster recovery and business continuity plan to maintain operations even in the event of a severe incident
This proactive approach helped the provider strengthen its defenses and minimize vulnerabilities—creating a resilient posture against current and future cyberattacks.
