A leading Nebraska-based community hospital bolsters its enterprise-wide Cybersecurity Risk and Compliance Management with Futurism & IBM.

Futurism Technologies is a leading IBM Global Security Solutions Partner helping channel partners, MSPs, and enterprises of all sizes and industry verticals around the world to adopt and leverage market-leading IBM security tech right into the core of their security infrastructure.


Futurism offers Security Advisory, Consulting, Integration & ’24 x 7′ Managed Security Acceleration Services (Zero Trust Security Model) to help healthcare providers and hospitals across the world keep threats at bay through well-equipped SOC centers located in the U.S., UAE & India.

Security Challenge Presented by the Hospital

The client is a well-known and leading Nebraska-based hospital and healthcare network. As a company in the healthcare ecosystem, this organization is subject to HIPAA regulations and compliances and thus, we had to ensure that personal health information (PHI) is secured at all costs with appropriate and robust protection across all data points and endpoints.

The hospital lacked a dedicated Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), whereas its IT Team was stuck in a time warp juggling between multiple duties: network issues, printer issues, patches, password resets, system upgrades, etc. Security took a backseat! In addition, the IT team lacked a sound understanding of the compliances coupled with lack of communication between board and the IT team. The hospital neglected basic cybersecurity hygiene and failed to prioritize cybersecurity and employ the right security skills and layers.

The hospital faced multiple challenges prior to collaborating with Futurism:

  • The hospital struggled to identify potential cyber threats and cybersecurity practices
  • Multiple branches connected through VPN with Central Gateway (Firewall)
  • Complex network with multi-tier switching and segments
  • 300+ unsecured end users, 100 Servers, 300 Endpoints, 50 Printers, 10 Applications, and 20+ Network Devices (Firewalls, Routers and Switches)
  • Lack of robust endpoint security, data protection policies, email and web security
  • Improper Network Settings, Firewall Misconfigurations and End-of-Life assets
  • Lack of security processes to manage IT Infrastructure/asset
  • Lack of a skilled incident response team trained in cyber forensics and high-tech investigations

Collaborative Results: The Futurism Edge

To meet the hospital’s debilitating security concerns, Futurism partnered with IBM to strengthen the hospital’s IT and security posture.
The collaboration helped the hospital to leverage IBM Advanced Threat Intelligence technology right into the core of
their IT and security infrastructure in a cost-iterative manner.

The hospital faced multiple challenges prior to collaborating with Futurism:

Enforce acceptable policies and process setup and strict adherence to it
24*7 support for end-to-end IT from Server, Network, Security, Helpdesk, Storage & Backup
Leveraged IBM QRadar to manage network security and map cybersecurity trends and attack patterns analyzed from billions of data points by providing real-time information and monitoring, alerts and offenses, and responses to network threats and cyber incident forensics
Real-time and intuitive threat detection and event monitoring using IBM X-Force
Active ticket tracking and closure within SLA

“We decided to channel our focus on quick wins that helped us to generate business value to various departments of the hospital. We felt that collaborating with IBM would be the most viable thing to do as we head out to build and fortify the hospital’s security infrastructure,” explains Mr. Sheetal Pansare CEO of Futurism Technologies.
