Challenges
With 100+ medical centers, this healthcare provider struggled to maintain visibility into Protected Health Information (PHI) across fragmented cloud and SaaS platforms such as M365, AWS, and Snowflake. Manual reviews were too slow for growing data volumes, making it difficult for the team to manage HIPAA compliance or identify risks like plain-text credentials and ghost datastores.
Solution
The provider deployed Cyera’s agentless, API-driven platform to automate discovery and classification of PHI across their environment. By integrating with existing tools like QRadar and ServiceNow, the team implemented targeted, high-impact policies and automated remediation workflows. This allowed them to identify sensitive data locations and mitigate exposures without manual intervention or complex agent deployments.
Results
- Massive Risk Reduction: Remediated over 32,000 issues across 30+ security policies.
- Data Minimization: Safely deleted nearly 26 million sensitive records and closed 103 "ghost" M365 datastores.
- Significant Financial Impact: Realized an estimated $353,178 in value in one quarter by reducing credential and datastore risks.
- Scalable Operations: Monitored 349.8 billion sensitive records and enabled a smaller team to accomplish more through automated learning and remediation.
