ThreatSTOP for AWS Blog

Real teams. Real threats stopped.

From a hospital catching an infected ultrasound machine to a university cutting malware tickets by 90%, here is what happens when ThreatSTOP goes to work on a real network. Every story here is from a real customer.

How real teams put it to work.

Healthcare

Geisinger

During a ThreatSTOP proof of concept, Geisinger found a clinical ultrasound machine quietly beaconing to a command-and-control server overseas. A vendor had infected it over USB during a routine service call. ThreatSTOP caught it, shut it down, and pointed straight to the exact device.

“ThreatSTOP caught the most threats, has the best interface, and is able to determine threat activity at the device level.”

Education

University of Baltimore

The help desk was drowning in malware tickets, then a high-privileged machine turned up botted. ThreatSTOP stopped it from calling home so the team could quarantine it before any damage was done. Pulling from over 900 threat intelligence sources, it took manual blacklisting off their plate for good.

“ThreatSTOP has eliminated manual blacklisting and remediation, and reduced help desk tickets related to malware by 90%, to only 1-2 per month.”
Mike Connors, Information Security Analyst, University of Baltimore

For MSPs

Armor

Like any hosting company, Armor has to shield its customers from botnets, phishing, zero-day, and other advanced threats, all while meeting HIPAA, PCI, and other compliance requirements on their behalf. Armor leans on ThreatSTOP to block those threats at the DNS and IP layers across its whole customer base.

SMBs

Phoenix Energy

Phoenix Energy is a small shop: one location, a handful of remote contractors on VPN. Things were going fine, no recent breaches, but CIO Carol Maffitt wanted a little more peace of mind. ThreatSTOP gave her that extra layer at the DNS and IP layers, with no new hardware to buy.

Enterprise

Global equipment manufacturer

A global equipment manufacturer had bought every flashy security product on the market and was still getting hit. On paper everything looked airtight: no gaps, nothing left unpatched. What they really needed was something that worked in the real world, not just in the report.
