Case Study with Dayton Children's Hospital

Frequently asked questions
How can healthcare organizations implement Zero Trust without disrupting clinical workflows?
Dayton Children's Hospital demonstrated that Zero Trust succeeds in healthcare by combining device discovery, classification, and continuous monitoring without blocking essential clinical operations. ORDR's approach ensures security teams gain complete visibility into connected medical devices while maintaining access controls that protect critical assets without impeding patient care delivery.
What's the first step in securing medical device environments?
Establishing comprehensive device inventory and segmentation is foundational—you cannot secure what you cannot see. ORDR enables healthcare organizations to automatically discover all connected devices, classify them by risk level, and implement segmentation controls that prevent unauthorized access to critical healthcare assets.
Can device monitoring actually reduce security incidents in hospitals?
Yes, continuous monitoring combined with proper device classification significantly reduces risk exposure. Dayton Children's Hospital's case demonstrates that ORDR's continuous monitoring strategy, paired with device discovery and segmentation, mitigates vulnerabilities before they become security incidents while maintaining compliance requirements.
