The Challenge
Lightbeam Health Solutions, a provider of a data analytics platform for healthcare organizations, faced the challenge of protecting sensitive customer data amidst rapid company growth and the transition from brick-and-mortar data centers to a hybrid cloud environment. The company needed to ensure consistent security for both its data center and cloud infrastructure and services. The continual changes in the healthcare industry, new technologies, and company growth were outpacing the data centers' abilities to keep up, leading Lightbeam to extend its infrastructure to the cloud. The challenge was to ensure comprehensive protection for cloud assets without sacrificing agility or scale, and to simplify security management across premises and cloud infrastructure.
About The Customer
Lightbeam Health Solutions is a provider of a data analytics platform that unifies claims and clinical data to help healthcare organizations provide superior patient care with lower costs. The company's technology provides Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), payers, large provider groups, health systems, and other healthcare organizations with actionable information that helps them better manage patient care while reducing costs. The company aggregates and analyzes high volumes of clinical and claims data using advanced modeling, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and reporting technologies. Customers access their information through their accounts in the customer portal.
The Solution
To address these challenges, Lightbeam adopted Check Point CloudGuard Network Security and Check Point Harmony Email & Office, along with Check Point R80 Security Management. This architecture provided complete threat prevention, sealing any security gaps and sharing immediate threat intelligence automatically across both environments. Check Point CloudGuard for Microsoft Azure protected workloads, data, and assets with secure connectivity between the Azure cloud and on-premises environments. CloudGuard IaaS brought the same firewall, IPS, data loss prevention, zero-day protection, and other threat prevention capabilities to the cloud that Check Point firewalls delivered to Lightbeam's physical data centers and offices. Lightbeam also leveraged Check Point CloudGuard SaaS to provide zero-day threat protection, and data protection to its Microsoft Office 365 environment, preventing data loss and scanning email messages and attachments for malicious content.
Operational Impact
  • The implementation of Check Point's solutions has enabled Lightbeam to provide differentiated secure services. They can easily and securely spin up and tear down virtual servers to test new product features without having to continuously reconfigure their security infrastructure. This capability enables Lightbeam to automatically scale security protection with changes in its application for faster time-to-market. Check Point CloudGuard SaaS has been integral in preventing data leaks and stopping incoming email threats. It quarantines malicious links and attachments and notifies users that their email was quarantined. The Lightbeam team manages all of its security centrally in a single pane-of-glass through Check Point R80 Unified Security Management. CloudGuard, data center appliances, logs, cloud-based security, and policies are all visible and manageable in one place. Despite the rapid changes in the industry and technology, Lightbeam is confident that Check Point stands beside them to keep pace.
