SSTAR: Preventing a HIPAA Breach with Real-Time Threat Detection

For community healthcare organizations like SSTAR, a data breach can be catastrophic. They needed enterprise-grade security on a budget that could actively defend against modern threats. Infused Innovations’ 24/7 Managed SOC services provided exactly that, detecting a live threat on their network in real-time and enabling an immediate response that prevented a potential HIPAA data exfiltration event.

About SSTAR

SSTAR (Stanley Street Treatment and Resources) is a community health organization providing vital healthcare services. As a steward of highly sensitive patient data (ePHI), they operate in one of the most targeted sectors for cyberattacks and require robust security to protect their clients and maintain regulatory compliance.


The Challenge

Community health organizations are prime targets for cybercriminals but often lack the resources for a dedicated, 24/7 internal security operations center. This creates a dangerous security gap, leaving them vulnerable to sophisticated attacks that can compromise patient data, lead to massive HIPAA fines, and destroy community trust.

The Solution

SSTAR leverages Infused Innovations’ 24/7 Managed SOC (Security Operations Center) services to get enterprise-level protection. Our team of security experts continuously monitors their environment using advanced signal intelligence. This service proved its value when we detected a live threat exploiting a vulnerability on one of their edge devices and immediately notified their team, providing the intelligence needed to neutralize it.

The Results

The real-time notification from our SOC allowed SSTAR to intervene and stop an active attack, preventing the exfiltration of sensitive HIPAA data. In a separate incident, our detailed lateral-movement mapping and threat reports allowed them to cut their time-to-remediation drastically. SSTAR benefits from a level of real-time threat detection and response that would otherwise be unattainable, ensuring their data and their patients are protected.
