Strengthening Security Incident Response with ServiceNow

Client Background

Large U.S. Federal Agency · Healthcare

U.S. Federal Healthcare Agency 160M+ beneficiaries · ServiceNow SecOps · Partners: ECS & Cybervance

A large federal agency responsible for delivering healthcare services to over 160 million people across the United States sought to modernize its cybersecurity operations. As digital threats intensified and operations scaled, the agency recognized the need to improve visibility, standardize processes, and strengthen coordination across its Security Operations (SecOps) teams.

Challenges

Legacy Processes Holding SecOps Back

The agency's Security Incident Response (SIR) processes were outdated and fragmented — creating gaps in visibility, coordination, and consistency that threatened the protection of health data for millions.

Challenge 01

Fragmented Security Operations

Inconsistent coordination across SecOps teams led to duplicated effort, communication gaps, and delayed incident resolution.

Challenge 02

Limited Threat Visibility

Siloed threat detection systems provided no unified view of incidents, making it difficult to prioritize and respond at speed.

Challenge 03

Escalating Fraud & Abuse Risks

Increasing risks of healthcare fraud, waste, and abuse demanded faster detection and more coordinated response capabilities.

Challenge 04

No Standardized Incident Handling

A lack of standardized tools and practices meant every analyst handled incidents differently, increasing risk and reducing audit readiness.
