Check Point
Software is a global leader in cybersecurity solutions. The company has announced its collaboration with the healthcare provider,
Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital
and
Medical Research Institute
to improve cybersecurity across the hospital's IT infrastructure. Their IT infrastructure comprises 300 virtual servers, 75 physical servers, virtual databases and 2,500 endpoints.
In 2022, as per
CheckPoint
Research (CPR), the healthcare industry in India saw the maximum number of cyberattacks among all sectors, with an organisation being attacked 1,866 times per week on average. This made the sector one of the most vulnerable verticals in the country. As a major healthcare provider entrusted with enormous amounts of sensitive patient information, tokilaben adheres to stringent data protection standards, including India's National Accreditation Board for Hospitals (NABH) and the international Joint Commission (JC).
How CheckPoint will help the hospital
Check Point's Harmony and Quantum solutions will play a key role in providing comprehensive protection against sophisticated cyber threats for Kokilaben. This hospital is established as one of India’s most advanced and highly specialised care facilities.
Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital’s approach involves replacing its manual data aggregation process, previously from multiple firewalls, email and endpoints with an AI-powered, centralised system to streamline workflows and optimise resources efficiently. This was addressed by Check Point's
Maestro Hyperscale Network Security
, fueled by AI and big-data threat intelligence that has revolutionised threat identification, patch application and remediation. This includes providing the hospital with visibility into open ports, empowering them to remediate vulnerabilities independently.
Additionally, Maestro scales the
Check Point Quantum Security Gateways
on demand, maximising appliance capacity to meet the hospital's dynamic workload requirements. The hospital has also deployed
Check Point Harmony Endpoint
, enhancing endpoint security without compromising performance, thus increasing productivity and reducing user friction. In the next phase, the hospital aims to implement Check Point Email and Collaboration to fortify email security.
This consolidated approach empowers the hospital's security team to maximise their security posture, as all data is now accessible through a unified dashboard, optimising operational efficiency and productivity. As a result, the hospital can scale security operations cost-effectively, keeping pace with its growing digital infrastructure.
