Case Study: HealthVerity reduces critical alerts to zero with Lacework
Key results
The challenge
HealthVerity operates a large healthcare and consumer data ecosystem on AWS and needed HIPAA-compliant protection as it moved to a microservices model with hundreds of cloud accounts. During rapid growth, the security team received hundreds of critical alerts, making it hard to identify the highest-priority issues.
The solution
HealthVerity deployed the Lacework platform to surface which existing issues were most pressing and reduce overall alert volume over time. Detailed alert context and remediation guidance helped the team prioritize work and collaborate with developers to shift security left.
“To me, the near-real-time feedback on the security posture of the accounts and systems that you load in is the number-one benefit of all.”

The results, in context
HealthVerity reduced hundreds of critical alerts in the first month to 22 per week, and then to zero. The platform enabled security and development to scale together during rapid growth and helped embed secure infrastructure practices.
