An unnamed hospital evaluated alternatives to Kaspersky, and a ransomware demonstration influenced its choice of approach.

Key takeaway

In clinical settings, distinguish a product demonstration from acceptance testing; agree on test scope, validation criteria and operating plans in advance.

Environment

Reports of ransomware attacks in healthcare prompted the hospital’s IT team to reevaluate protection. It began evaluating alternatives before the Xcitium demonstration.

Challenge

The hospital previously used Kaspersky for endpoint security. The team wanted to address the interval between an unknown file being downloaded and its classification.

Approach

During the demonstration, the hospital support technician’s computer was infected with ransomware. Xcitium Advanced with ZeroDwell containment was the approach being demonstrated.

Outcome

The IT manager said the ransomware sample was contained during the demonstration and the solution was easy to manage.
