Strengthening Healthcare Cyber Defense with Next-Gen SIEM

Background:

The client is a US-based provider of healthcare solutions that helps speciality medical groups, hospitals, and health systems. They needed a centralised NG-SIEM platform as their digital ecosystem grew to support scalable growth, including the integration of subsidiary environments, the consolidation of security visibility, and the enablement of real-time detection.

Challenges:

• The initial scope included integration of 15 data sources over 4-5 weeks. However, at kickoff, the timeline was compressed to 2 weeks with detection rules required to be fully operational.

During implementation:

•  8 additional critical data sources were identified
• A US subsidiary requires onboarding to the same console
• Cross-time zone coordination (Pacific Time) was necessary
• The final deadline remained fixed despite the expanded scope
• This created a high-velocity deployment with evolving requirements

Solution: 

• The project was carried out by quickly enabling access and maintaining structured daily coordination with the client’s infrastructure and Infosec teams.
• A proactive review of detection coverage uncovered additional data sources, which were integrated within the timeline. The team also extended support across time zones to onboard the subsidiary environment seamlessly.

The benifits: 

The engagement delivered:

• 25 data sources integrated 
• 150 Out-of-the-Box use cases enabled
• 13 custom use cases developed
• The implementation was completed within the accelerated timeline, establishing a scalable detection foundation for the organization.
