Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth (SCL) Health is a nonprofit healthcare organization that operates eight hospitals, four safety net clinics, and one children's mental health center in the United States. SCL Health's IT department faced unique challenges when planning their security. In addition to securing thousands of endpoints spread across three states, they also have to be compliant with HIPAA regulations.
SCL Health selected Metascan (now MetaDefender Core) with RSA's ECAT tool to protect 13,000 machines from threats. This multi-layer defense helps SCL secure machines in their network that store sensitive patient information.
Metascan's use of many anti-malware engines provides the best detection of known threats; the malware signatures for each engine are automatically updated multiple times a day to ensure that SCL Health benefits from the latest detections. Metascan also utilizes each anti-malware engine's unique heuristic scanning rules to detect unknown threats. RSA ECAT, combined with Metascan, ensures that the SCL Health network is clean from threats, thus keeping patient data safe and ensuring that SCL Health is in legal compliance.
