Stopping a Rapidly Advancing Zero-Day Malware Attack

 
When Beebe Healthcare became the victim of a rapidly advancing zero-day malware attack, Red Canary jumped into action, instantly notifying the hospital and helping prevent the attack from spreading.

A loyal customer since 2015, Beebe Healthcare relies on Red Canary to monitor and investigate potential threats across its endpoints. The award-winning 210-bed community healthcare system has seven locations across southern Delaware and offers a wide array of inpatient, outpatient, emergency, and diagnostic services.

Like many security teams, Beebe built their program from the ground up. The small team quickly realized they needed a partner to help them defend against advanced threats. They chose Red Canary based on superior detection capabilities and the value of the behind-the-scenes resources.

It was an ordinary Wednesday when an employee downloaded and opened an email attachment that was infected with malware. Red Canary’s behavioral detection technology quickly identified the malware and notified hospital security staff. It soon became apparent that the attack was a previously unknown variant. Worse, it included a network-spreading capability and propagated to 47 devices in seven minutes.

Red Canary escalated the alert and worked with the hospital’s team to isolate the affected endpoints. Red Canary collaborated with Beebe’s security, network, and operations teams to shut down all endpoints and stop the attack. Quick action spared hundreds of workstations from falling victim to the attack.

Clint, the director of information technology, commented, “The threat would have hit all our workstations if Red Canary had not caught it in time. You can’t invest enough in that type of assurance. Red Canary helps me sleep at night.”

The team at Beebe has seen a number of improvements since partnering with Red Canary.
