Bartlett Regional Hospital

Introduction

This case study of Bartlett Regional Hospital is based on a February 2022 survey of Rapid7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Services & Solutions customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

“Our program has significantly improved and I am much more confident in our overall security posture. Having the Rapid7 Managed Detection and Response team augmenting my team allows us to sleep better at night and be able to leave work knowing that we are still covered and can respond quickly if we receive an alert from the DR team.”

“Without Rapid7 MDR, our team would not be able to enjoy a good work-life balance or relax in their off hours for fear of missing something. The MDR team has our back and is a vital part of our overall security posture.”
