Unfortunately cyberattacks have become all too common in business today. It’s not a question of if you’ll be targeted, it’s a matter of when. Hybrid and remote workplaces have added a layer of complexity, and data protection must be designed with worker, customer, and partner security in mind.
Data privacy laws are changing rapidly due to an increased threat landscape. Government regulations and industry standards constantly evolve, so staying compliant is difficult but essential. Assessing your security and potential risks is critical whether you’re maintaining a legacy system, moving your data and applications to cloud-based services, or looking to outsource some or all of your network management.

This nationally recognized private university offers undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs. It has an undergraduate enrollment of about 20,000 students.
Challenge
The university’s Internet presence serves visitors, students, faculty, and staff. Due to a data breach, university leadership prioritized cybersecurity over concerns of losing financial and personal information, research, and public confidence. Mitigation is the responsibility of their security program, which also covers compliance with federal regulations such as FERPA.
CBTS solution
CBTS collaborated with the university to design an extensive security evaluation, resulting in a roadmap containing a list of recommended initiatives prioritized to enhance the organization’s security stance in the upcoming years. CBTS assessed the university’s security program and architecture, discovered gaps, and provided new recommendations for the next growth phase.
In a recent internal penetration test, CBTS obtained administrator-level access across 2,000+ endpoints. This simulation installed mock malware that records keystrokes on all machines exposing sensitive data such as passwords. This could have impacted over 20,000 students as well as staff and faculty. The university was saved from major financial and reputational damage thanks to this successful pen test.
Results
It has been three years since the university has expanded its capabilities and developed a plan for further growth. The protection of students, faculty, staff, computing assets, and data has significantly improved. Risk is more effectively managed. The university’s CIO and their leadership and trustees can rest easier knowing the security program is mature and functioning well.
Headquartered in Cincinnati, this regional healthcare system (RHS) comprises hospitals, physicians, and specialist offices and serves the community through quality care and cutting-edge research.
Challenges
The RHS protects several categories of sensitive data, including medical records, financial information, and employee data. In a modern threat landscape where attackers seek each of these, understanding and addressing their network’s weaknesses is a high-priority mission.
CBTS solution
Working with the RHS’s security team, CBTS security consultants designed a multi-phase penetration test. The goal was to simulate actual attacks using tools, methodologies, and targets that attackers would use. Consultants reviewed vulnerabilities that were discovered and all sensitive data obtained. Vulnerabilities were documented and prioritized by severity, priority, and difficulty. CBTS developed mitigation strategies and remediation recommendations for each vulnerability.
CBTS presented its findings to the RHS’s security and IT teams. Based on the results, the RHS prioritized security projects and planned to improve mission-critical processes and deploy additional security controls and defenses in crucial areas of the network.
Results
The RHS strengthened its security posture to include additional controls and defenses. The client considers their data substantially safer after addressing the findings from the penetration test.
Our rural healthcare client is a member of the Oklahoma Hospital Association and is dedicated to promoting the welfare of the public without regard to race, age, creed, color, sex, handicap, or national origin.
Security challenge
With the growing use of IoT devices in the healthcare field, the existing network environment could not meet the connectivity demands of new technology. This lag was felt most by the existing voice infrastructure, which dropped calls at an unacceptable rate.
CBTS solution
CBTS designed and installed a total technology refresh for secure network access control using Aruba APs and Bluetooth beacons along with ClearPass Policy Manager, giving agentless visibility and dynamic role-based access control for security enforcement and response. To solve the problem of no LAN segmentation between hospitals, CBTS provided, installed, and configured 30 Fortinet firewalls at 13 locations.
The enterprise network is equipped with a high-performance, multi-layered security system that offers end-to-end protection with deep visibility. It also provides scalable performance, low latency, and reporting features to ensure compliance with regulations like HIPAA and PCI.
Outcome
The client has future-proofed their organization by establishing a secure wireless network that can handle the advances of technology.
