Leading Canadian healthcare provider
reduces cyber risk despite IoT explosion

Minutes

for ransomware remediation
instead of hours or days.

Headquartered in Toronto, Forescout is Canada’s largest network of public research and teaching hospitals. Its Toronto General Hospital is ranked as one of the top 10 hospitals in the world. As part of its strategy to reduce the risk of a cyber incident impacting patient care or patient records, the hospital’s cybersecurity team implemented the Forescout platform for device visibility and control as one of its foundational technologies.

to achieve 100% enterprise visibility of all devices.

Challenges

  • Reduce the risk of impact to patient care or records due to a cyber incident.
     

  • Comply with industry regulations and pass audits despite the presence of legacy infrastructure and the explosion of IoT devices.
     

  • Deploy NAC that accommodates clinicians and researchers connecting their own devices.
     

  • Maintain an accurate asset inventory to support security, operations, and maintenance.
     

  • Implement a Zero Trust network for the Epic hospital information system.

Business Impact

The hospital deployed the Forescout platform quickly, successfully classifying 100% of the hospital’s devices across the enterprise in just one month.
 

Prior to deploying the Forescout platform, the team estimated the organization had about 24,000 devices total, but Forescout discovered an unexpected 16,000 additional devices, comprised primarily of unknown infrastructure and network equipment added by faculty and researchers.

Results

  • Fast time to value: real time, end to end visibility of all network connected items within three to four weeks.
     

  • Accurate asset inventory used by information security, operations, and building maintenance.
     

  • 66% more devices discovered on the network than expected.
     

  • 90% of devices classified within the first week of deployment, remaining 10% within a month.
     

  • Accurate asset inventory used by information security, operations, and building maintenance.
     

  • Faster incident response – minutes instead of hours or days to respond to ransomware.
     

  • Alignment with multiple SANS controls.
     

  • Better-informed leadership and decision-making with insightful reporting on device security posture.
     

  • Support for Zero Trust segmentation of the Epic hospital information system.
