The Challenge
OSDE, one of Argentina’s leading healthcare providers, delivers high-quality healthcare to 2.2 million members across the country’s 23 provinces. In support of its mission to deliver top-quality healthcare to patients at its 400+ facilities, OSDE began in 2012 a system-wide migration to cloud-based G Suite (formerly Google Apps). While the move enabled better collaboration, it also meant increased sharing of highly sensitive personal data. Against the backdrop of healthcare’s intensifying ransomware crisis, OSDE sought a solution to offset the risk represented by a proliferation of mobile apps designed to interact with corporate accounts. The need to visualize the organization’s information flow—mapping what data is being shared with whom—led OSDE to consider a cloud access security broker (CASB).
About The Customer
Organizacion De Servicios Directos Empresarios SA (OSDE) is one of Argentina’s leading healthcare providers, delivering high-quality healthcare to 2.2 million members across the country’s 23 provinces. The organization operates over 400 facilities and is committed to providing top-quality healthcare services. In 2012, OSDE began a system-wide migration to cloud-based G Suite (formerly Google Apps) to enable better collaboration. However, this move also meant an increased sharing of highly sensitive personal data. The organization needed a solution to offset the risk represented by a proliferation of mobile apps designed to interact with corporate accounts.
The Solution
OSDE decided to add a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) solution to its security stack. The organization chose Cisco Cloudlock for its robustness and compatibility with G Suite. The solution allowed OSDE to visualize the organization’s information flow, mapping what data is being shared with whom. This increased visibility into its information flow provided a means to reduce future infrastructure costs. The solution also helped OSDE to secure identities, data, and apps in the cloud, and increased visibility with cloud tracking and monitoring capabilities.
Operational Impact
  • Secured identities, data, and apps in the cloud
  • Increased visibility with cloud tracking and monitoring capabilities
  • Revealed potential information leaks before they escalated
