Healthcare Product Company Cuts Down its Patch Time by 85%

Managing complex HPC clusters with hundreds of nodes and various ISV solutions can be challenging, particularly for businesses handling sensitive healthcare and pet research data. Our client, a leading healthcare and consumer goods company, needed to ensure HIPAA/PHI compliance through effective patch management in their compute clusters.

Key Challenges and Transformation 

The customer faced constant updates for software and firmware, which increased their attack surface. They needed an automated, scalable Patch Management solution to simplify patch cycles and maintain regulatory compliance. Their goal was to protect electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) while reducing manual workloads.

Our Patch Management as-a-Service (PMaaS) used AI-driven automation and modern tools to manage agents efficiently, simplify patching, and ensure compliance in both on-premises and cloud environments. Tasks that used to take months to complete were now done in weeks, protecting exposed services and data.

Business Impact and Benefits 

The customer achieved real-time compliance visibility with intuitive dashboards, allowing for smooth governance. As Research Manager, Ron Miller stated, “We have never been better equipped to manage the latest patch updates and agents.”

Key outcomes included: 

  • Completing patch cycles 85% faster
  • Significant reduction in manual patch tasks
  • AI-enabled identification and fixing of vulnerabilities
  • Custom compliance reports that made audits easier
  • Optimized IT resources focusing on strategy

With software vulnerabilities evolving, ongoing protection and quick fixes are essential. Our PMaaS provides asset discovery, process orchestration, and automated patching as a scalable cloud service, which strengthens infrastructure and reduces risk.
