Improving the Patient Experience

As a security leader in healthcare, Sutter Health’s biggest fear was not having visibility into the thousands of endpoints on their network. Tanium provides that peace of mind by providing security through visibility, manageability and scale, which ultimately saves time for the IT team, doctors and patients.

Savings in Time and Resources

Prior to Tanium, IT teams had to manually access every endpoint, requiring loaner computers that disrupted workflows. With Tanium, endpoints can be accessed remotely making loaners obsolete and saving time for the IT Desk, users and ultimately, patients.

Increased Patch Success Rate

As a health organization, knowing that patient data is secure is key. Thanks to Tanium, Sutter Health now has the confidence of knowing that patches are truly deployed across endpoints and that vulnerability is minimized.

Faster, More Accurate Data Analysis

With Tanium's ability to craft customized questions specifically for their environment, the team can now accurately answer the questions of cybersecurity analysts and assess risk in real time.

Using Tanium, a team member asked ‘What machines are running Thunderbolt monitors?’ and got the answer back immediately. Leveraging Tanium, the team correlated the event of a specific monitor being plugged in with the network outage, which was the key data needed to isolate the issue with the display.

Before Tanium we were always behind the curve with virus definitions. We were always playing catch up. It wasn’t unusual for 5–10% of our devices to be out of compliance with our policy. Once we deployed Tanium, our average went down to less than 1% almost overnight.
