Ensuring secure and efficient access to patient data is essential, especially for staff working remotely. This was a critical challenge for a healthcare provider whose team needed reliable access to sensitive patient information from various locations.
To address this need, they chose Cisco AnyConnect, known for its robust security features. However, soon after installation, end-users encountered significant slowdowns that severely impacted productivity and caused frustration among both the staff and the IT team.
The Challenge: Addressing Performance Issues Amidst Security Concerns
While Cisco AnyConnect was expected to provide secure remote access, the end-users faced unexpected challenges. The installation led to performance issues that slowed down network access, hindering the ability of staff to work efficiently.
This situation not only frustrated the end-users but also placed a heavy burden on the IT department. The need for a solution that could restore both speed and security became urgent.
