Press ReleaseMoore County Hospital District Selects Alert Logic To Provide IT Network SecurityOn-Demand Security Service Will Protect MCHD's Internal Network at a Fraction of the cost of Traditional IT Network Security Solutions HOUSTON - MAY 22, 2006 - Moore County Hospital District (MCHD) of Dumas, Texas, announced today it has selected Alert Logic to provide protection from the increasing number of computer network security threats, a growing problem for health care providers faced with more technology-driven patient care. The selection by MCHD is one of many recent customer wins across a variety of industries for Alert Logic, including Bracewell & Giuliani LLP, one of the nation's largest law firms. Touting first class medical services, MCHD's IT operation includes complex information systems and a comprehensive computer network. MCHD, which has provided quality health care to the region for nearly 60 years, has experienced steady growth and prides itself on offering medical services and state-of-the-art technology that is typically found only in larger facilities. As MCHD's IT infrastructure has expanded to meet this growth, so has the risk of computer network security threats that could have a direct impact on patient care as well as compliance to state and federal regulations such as HIPAA. "Alert Logic is more dedicated to protecting healthcare IT operations of our size than any other security vendor," said Chris Anderson. "We found Alert Logic's Network Protection On Demand? to be the best solution available that brings together 24 hour human security surveillance, software-as-a-service, and on-premise appliances into one seamlessly integrated network security solution. Alert Logic is a perfect fit for us given the dynamic and patient focused environment that exists within a rural health care system like ours." MCHD includes Memorial Hospital, a 60-bed acute care hospital, and Memorial Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, which provides long term nursing care for 60 residents. Offering first-class medical services, MCHD's IT operation includes leading-edge information systems and a comprehensive computer network serving medical practitioners, patients and the general public. "A company of MCHD's size is typical of Alert Logic's customer base - an organization that doesn't have the IT resources of larger corporations but still has critical information to protect," said Chris Smith, vice president of marketing at Alert Logic. "We are passionate about helping mid-size companies protect their networks from worms, botnets and other malicious intruders, and our service allows our customers to identify network threats, stop them in their tracks, and even remediate systems that have been compromised - all for a fraction of the cost of traditional on-premise software and do-it-yourself appliance solutions." Alert Logic eliminates the high cost and complexity of managing disparate point products by providing the critical elements of intrusion detection, intrusion prevention, vulnerability assessment, security event management and managed security services into one seamless, on-demand service. As a result, small to mid-size organizations are no longer forced to buy, deploy, manage and maintain costly hardware and software security infrastructures. The only on-demand IT security company focused on the SMB market, Alert Logic recently declared war on the high cost of security for small to mid-size businesses, claiming that large IT security firms have been forcing these businesses to overspend for security solutions - solutions that are often not appropriate for SMBs. Within the past year, Alert Logic has quickly grown to include customers across the United States in a variety of different industries including oil & gas, healthcare, utilities, education, legal, and state & local government.
