Healthcare Services Company Stops Brute Force Attack with Adlumin

Challenges

• Global Imaging Solutions had limited personnel dedicated specifically to its security needs in order to stay ahead of cyber threats while managing daily IT demands.
• As a healthcare provider handling sensitive patient data, they needed a proactive security solution to stay ahead of increasing cyber attacks.
• Required 100% organization-wide visibility, 24x7, to ensure even the most minor concerns are caught and remediated.

A Healthcare Services Company Prioritizing Work-Life Balance

Global Imaging Solutions is a teleradiology company based in Savannah, Georgia, providing services to healthcare providers nationwide. With a flexible, end-to-end approach to imaging
acquisition, Global Imaging Solutions covers every stage of the process, from securing regulatory
approvals and negotiating equipment purchases to installation, certification, quality assurance,
and ongoing support. The company also provides a comprehensive web-based picture archiving and communications system (PACS) to ensure seamless imaging management.

Global Imaging Solutions boasts a high radiologist retention rate. It provides the best radiology
coverage possible while maintaining a work/life balance through a people-first approach to culture. With its employees focused on delivering quality services to its healthcare providers, the company’s dedicated IT team relies on a local IT services provider for additional support.

“Like other organizations in healthcare, our concern is a possible breach. Adlumin gives us the peace of mind and confidence that we are protected from cyber threats and attacks that seem to be increasing in volume in our industry.”

On the Hunt for A Proactive Approach to Stronger Security

Keeping up with the relentless, around-the-clock threats targeting sensitive healthcare data has
become an uphill battle. As attacks grow more frequent and sophisticated, maintaining strong
security is increasingly challenging.

Global Imaging Solutions’ team saw firsthand the negative impact a successful attack could have
after a nearby hospital fell victim to ransomware. The team knew this wasn’t a job they could handle alone while balancing other pressing IT priorities, and as a small business with smaller margins than a hospital or health system, they recognized that any significant downtime could impact their ability to deliver timely care, making proactive protection a critical priority.

Phillip Patterson, CIO of Global Imaging Solutions, knew he needed to find a security solution to help him proactively defend the business. He first turned to Vandis, a trusted technology consulting firm and service provider, who conducted a network vulnerability assessment that showed they needed 24x7 monitoring and visibility into their environment.

With Vandis’ recommendation, Patterson decided to invest in the Adlumin MDR solution. The platform’s quick deployment process made it easy for them to connect all their endpoints and firewalls. With data flowing in immediately, Patterson instantly recognized the benefits of this solution.

Identifying and Stopping a Brute Force Attack

One morning, Patterson woke up to a message from Adlumin’s MDR team, notifying him that there was a Brute Force attack that the MDR team was able to quickly stop.

A coordinated Brute Force attack attempted to breach Global Imaging Solutions’ systems by
automating login attempts. Thanks to Adlumin’s around-the-clock monitoring, the attempt was
quickly detected and neutralized—without any impact to operations.

A Brute Force attack like this is typically automated, using software that rapidly generates and tests thousands or even millions of credential combinations. If successful, the attack could have
given criminals access to critical business systems that they could have used to steal customer or
employee data, deploy ransomware, initiate fraudulent transactions, or many other types of
malicious activity.

Adlumin MDR identified, verified, and stopped the attack before Patterson and the team even
woke up that morning, making Patterson’s job of protecting the business from cyberthreats
successful.

“Our report card score for cybersecurity hygiene gives us greater insights into our security posture and guides our continuous improvements. With Adlumin and Vandis, we have greater assurance of the steps we should be taking coupled with the support and expertise to get there.”

CIO of Global Imaging Solutions

The Power of Partnership

For Global Imaging Solutions, cybersecurity isn’t just about technology—it’s about having the right
partners to support their mission. By working with Vandis and Adlumin, the company gained more than just a security platform; they gained a trusted team dedicated to protecting their business around the clock.

security, confidence, and peace of mind needed to keep our business running safely. By leveraging
the power of partnership, Global Imaging Solutions has transformed its cybersecurity approach—
