ARKANSAS CHILDRENS HOSPITAL IS ONE OF THE TOP TEN LARGEST
PEDIATRIC
MEDICAL CENTERS IN THE NATION, AND THE ONLY PEDIATRIC FACILITY
IN THE SATE
OF ARKANSAS. Based on the incredible reliance Arkansas and
surrounding states have on
this world-class facility, the responsibility for managing a
large amount of critical information
across agrowing population of patients was a priority.
Growing Patient Population Creates Need for Retaining and
Protecting More Information
With incredible growth across their information systems,
Arkansas Childrens Hospitals
security administration team realized they had a challenge with
managing data for
compliance, as well as maintaining a secure environment. With
limited sta and resources,
the team needed to nd a way of better managing the dramatically
growing logs of data.
Arkansas Childrens Hospital recognized that centralizing its log
collection without a unifying
solution was becoming burdensome in the quest to identify
potential oenses on its network.
With so many log sources producing disparate silos of
information, the security team
struggled with correlating meaningful alert information and
eectively identifying potential
oenses in real-time.
Prior to implementing QRadar, we were ltering logs from multiple
sources through
SysLog, which wasnt ideal, said Chris Wilkins, Security
Administrator, Arkansas
Childrens Hospital. We understood the capabilities a
next-generation SIEM product
would provide, but we needed to educate ourselves and the
management team on the
solutions that would make sense for us.
Extracting Intelligence and Helping the Security
Administration
Team Scale
With the data environment growing daily, it was clear that scale
would play an enormous
factor in the decision to deploy QRadar, especially where the
number of logs was escalating
to millions every day. What the team at Arkansas Childrens
Hospital found was that QRadar
oered robust integration with so many of todays network and
security components so that
they could correlate data from all the log-producing sources
already deployed.

Centralizes Secu
and Compliance Management with QRadar
As the number of patients will only increase at such an esteemed
medical facility, Arkansas Childrens Hospital needed
a solution that would help centralize their security and
compliance programs. The Security Administration team
needed a security intelligence solution that could scale their
security operations for complete visibility into their
network architecture.
