I am Doug Fee. I'm the Chief Information Security Officer at Moffitt Cancer Center. Moffitt Cancer Center, it's a nationally known cancer center where we treat the most ill of the world when it comes to cancer treatment. Data security is important in the context of healthcare for me. When you're dealing with a life-threatening situation like cancer, you don't want to also be thinking about, is somebody taking care of my data? We're always wanting more visibility. We're always wanting to be able to see where our data's at, see what's happening in our environment, be able to respond and be able to react. Varonis gives us that ability. When it comes to understanding where our data's at, how it's being used, who's using that data, Varonis provides actionable intelligence. Varonis helps us understand where we are complying with those state laws, where we're complying with those federal regulations. We have Varonis MDDR as a part of our suite, and it's absolutely a game-changer from my perspective. They respond to alerts and events, they alert us. We just had something happen a while ago, they called us up, as soon as it happened, those type of things, you know, it's well worth the money that you spend. They really partner with me to make my job easier. There's very few companies that I know of that you actually get your return on your investment and more. Varonis is one of those companies I definitely would take with me wherever I'm at.

TL;DR

  • Moffitt Cancer Center relies on Varonis for comprehensive visibility into sensitive healthcare data, including where data resides, how it's accessed, and who uses it across their environment.
  • Varonis MDDR provides real-time threat detection and response capabilities, with proactive alerting that enables rapid incident response to protect patient data during critical cancer treatment.
  • The platform helps Moffitt maintain compliance with state and federal healthcare regulations while delivering measurable ROI through actionable intelligence and security partnership that reduces operational burden.

Summary

Doug Fee, Chief Information Security Officer at Moffitt Cancer Center, discusses how Varonis has become an essential component of the organization's healthcare data security strategy. Moffitt Cancer Center, a nationally recognized cancer treatment facility, faces unique data protection challenges given the sensitive nature of patient information during life-threatening illness. Fee emphasizes that data security in healthcare extends beyond regulatory compliance to directly impact patient trust during their most vulnerable moments. The video highlights how Varonis provides comprehensive visibility into data location, usage patterns, and access controls while supporting compliance with state and federal healthcare regulations. Fee specifically credits Varonis Managed Data Detection and Response (MDDR) as a transformative service that delivers real-time threat alerting, rapid incident response, and measurable return on investment through proactive security partnership.
