Founded over 130 years ago, Sentara is a 30,000-employee healthcare payer and provider operating 14 hospitals in the eastern United States. Recognized nationally for clinical quality and safety, Sentara is especially concerned about the privacy of its electronic medical records (EMR), which are now stored in the Azure cloud. To protect that sensitive data, Sentara partnered with MSSP Infinite Computers to create a dedicated managed cloud service, Optify. The backbone of Optify’s patented cloud security framework is based on Fortinet secure networking solutions.

“With Fortinet's threat intelligence, we were able to mitigate all external attacks. We were able to see those attacks with other third-party tools. And with Fortinet's ingress-egress firewalls, we were able to [get] true visibility to all traffic across our network.” – Matthew Douglas, Chief Enterprise Architect, Sentara Healthcare; Founder and CTO, Optify
