East House improves their security posture
Founded in 1996, East House is a non for profit organization located in Rochester, NY that provides residential and recovery support to individuals who
have either serious mental health or substance disorder diagnosis’. With staff of approximately 200, East House supports individuals in their path to recovery.
The Problem
The only function of the vulnerability management process East House had was a patching schedule with no way to verify if they were applying their patches everywhere within their network.
During this time, East House had no overall cyber risk visibility that would provide them with information about other risks that were potentially present on their network and endpoints such as data classification, secure configuration and their tactical risk awareness.
Being a HIPAA compliant organization, East House needed a cybersecurity risk platform to be implemented to ensure their organization remained compliant thus reducing their risk exposure and likelihood of any potential data breaches.
The Solution
CYRISMA’s data classification, secure configuration and risk awareness capabilities gives customer’s a full holistic view of their network and endpoints.
With CYRISMA, East House are able to fully understand the risks identified in their environment and take the necessary action to mitigate vulnerabilities through different mechanisms that were never considered before.
“The solution that CYRISMA offered us was a way to discover all devices within our network, provided a user-friendly output of active vulnerabilities on our network and endpoints, identified where we had a gap in saving certain types of sensitive data which is helping us clean up our environment by properly archiving data, and we were able to see how our devices stack up to CIS Benchmarks and identified certain settings that needed to be changed/updated.”
