About The Customer
Weill Cornell Medical College is a prestigious academic medical center located in New York City, distinct from the main university campus in Ithaca. The IT staff at Weill Cornell operates with a high degree of independence, managing a diverse and demanding set of computer operations. The college not only supports its own administrative departments but also extends its IT services to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. This dual responsibility necessitates a robust and secure IT infrastructure capable of meeting the stringent regulatory requirements of both higher education and healthcare sectors, including HIPAA compliance. The college's IT environment is complex, involving multiple platforms such as UNIX, Windows, Mac, Linux, and OS-10 servers, which require comprehensive and continuous security management.
The Challenge
Weill Cornell Medical College, located separate from the main university campus, serves as an academic medical center requiring HIPAA compliance. They have complex IT security needs and needed a solution to prioritize and protect from threats as well as grow with the college.
The Solution
Weill Cornell Medical College implemented Rapid7 Nexpose to address their complex IT security needs. The solution simplified the scanning process and provided better visibility into their network. Automated functions like calendaring allowed for precisely timed scans without requiring manual intervention from engineers. The Rapid7 support team assisted with the installation, and within a week, the college was receiving meaningful information about their systems. By the end of the first month, they were scanning all necessary systems across their network. The core strengths of Rapid7 Nexpose include its thoroughness, ability to update itself automatically, and its comprehensive reporting capabilities. These features enable Weill Cornell to prioritize and remediate risks effectively, ensuring that their IT infrastructure remains secure and compliant with regulatory requirements.
