The immediate effect of the changes experience by the entire organization was the improvement in both the network performance and the Internet connection speed and an improvement in security. Updated security technology now provided increased visibility into the network traffic with consolidated security stack consisting of intrusion detection and prevention (IDS/IPS) capabilities, mobile code (malware) protection, real-time inspection engine on the firewalls that provided web traffic control and inspection over both regular and encrypted channels. These security capabilities were also tied to the organization Active Directory to establish a better incident response and containment capabilities (if an incident were to occur) by including user and workstation information in security logs and activity records. To preserve the integrity of the logs, a cloud solution was implemented to establish a central logging and monitoring solution. Final results included increased performance and reliability of the hospital's network and improvements in security of the patient data traversing the hospital's network and stored on the hospitals' systems. By improving the visibility, the movement of information is now more granularly controlled and monitored resulting in increased confidence from our patients knowing that the security of their personal and health data and information is one of the top priorities of the organization.
