HEALTHCARE AND CYBER SECURITY SOLUTIONS
Organizations within the healthcare sector remain the number one target for cyber threat actors today. Providing quality patient care, while adhering to regulatory compliance mandates is challenging for healthcare organizations of any size. The focus on healthcare by cybercriminals is driven by several key factors including:
- Sensitive Data – Healthcare organizations have access to a wide variety of sensitive information including PHI, payment card industry (PCI) information, and PII.
- Critical Infrastructure: Ransomware groups target organizations that are likely to pay. The healthcare sector provides critical care and needs to have their systems restored quickly, making them likely to comply with attacker demands.
- Internet of Medical Things (IoMT): Healthcare organizations are increasingly reliant upon networked devices to provide patient care. These devices usually possess poor security, and they are inadequately maintained. Attackers target IoMT devices because they are easy to access, and they provide access to an organizations corporate network.
Common Threats:
The healthcare industry faces a wide variety of common threats including:
- Data Breaches: Healthcare organizations store massive amounts of sensitive information and data about their patients and clinical research. Attackers all have the common goal of theft of PHI and PII.
- Ransomware: Most healthcare organizations are extremely reliant upon access to their networked systems and data to provide patient care. Without access, they cannot operate. Attackers will hold these systems hostage until an organization meets the attackers demand.
- Malware: Similar to Ransomware, malware can also affect an organizations systems. Certain types of malware can steal login credentials which are then used to access sensitive data.
- Phishing: Phishing is the practice of sending fraudulent communications that appear to be coming from a legitimate, reputable source, usually via email or text messaging. The goal is to gain access to sensitive information, like ePHI or PII. End users are often tricked into clicking on links, or providing sensitive information to the attacker, resulting in a data breach. This is one of the oldest yet most successful types of attack utilizing social engineering.
Securing Healthcare:
The data that healthcare organizations possess is extremely valuable. The growing complexity of IT networks and systems provides cyber threat actors with a large variety of potential attack vectors that organizations are responsible for monitoring and protecting. Like all other sectors, healthcare is overwhelmed by the large volume of security data that must be collected and analyzed. Often, this task is complicated by an array of point security products that are complex to monitor and manage. Healthcare organizations must try to focus on simplifying the problems that their teams face. A security solution that integrates functionality, while centralizing security monitoring and management, is crucial to achieving the goal of simplification.
The Solution:
Healthcare organizations must protect against sophisticated cyber threats and integrate cybersecurity solutions designed to prevent against zero-day and fifth-generation cyber threats all while maintaining HIPAA compliance. Commlan’s managed services and security solutions include advanced AI powered technologies to help healthcare organizations reduce the overall complexity of IT systems while providing cost-effective, industry standard methodologies to secure your healthcare organization today.
