Martin’s Point Health Care: Replacing legacy antivirus solution with Elastic Endgame

MPHC has a small and nimble enterprise security team tasked with protecting critical patient health records and ensuring their heavy regulatory footprint of compliance with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and PCI DSS are met. This means the ability to keep pace with targeted attacks that are a constant for MPHC. The MPHC board needed to know their risk posture and the health of the organization.

Their current anti-virus solution from Symantec failed to give leadership the level of visibility and protection necessary to safeguard critical patient information and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

The IT team needed a solution that would address three primary challenges:

• Block known and unknown attacks beyond malware.
• Monitor 24x7 device activity, even when offline.
• Provide the MPHC Board and leadership a status of the health of their enterprise network.

Martin’s Point Health Care performed an extensive evaluation of endpoint security options, including cloud-based next-gen AV solutions to replace Symantec’s antivirus solution. They chose Elastic Endgame because it was the only solution that provided comprehensive visibility with full-stack protection across the breadth and depth of the MITRE ATT&CK™ matrix. Other next generation-AV solutions were too complex for junior analysts to use and too slow to stop unknown threats. The MPHC team found Elastic Endgame’s distributed architecture and robust two-way API could seamlessly integrate with existing network tools and operational processes within their environment.

Elastic Endgame provided full-stack protection that stopped targeted attacks before they started, stopped ongoing attacks before any damage or loss occurred, and minimized the time IT spent trying to detect and contain threats. Another benefit the security team identified over other solutions was Elastic Endgame’s ability to eliminate multiple host agents with one single agent platform. Elastic Endgame replaces existing AV, endpoint detection and response, and incident response agents, drastically reducing the cost and time required to stop emerging threats. The platform provides comprehensive protection and detailed reporting to help their leadership understand their risk posture.
