Threat Hunting in Healthcare: What It Is & Why It Matters
Incident response is a vital part of a strong cybersecurity program. However, responding to cybersecurity threats and attacks is only part of the equation. Healthcare organizations need to be proactive in their security solutions, spotting threats before they lead to data loss. This is where threat hunting comes in. What is threat hunting? Threat hunting […]
6 Components of a Vulnerability Threat Management Program
Safeguarding your healthcare organization’s electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) against cybersecurity threats is like protecting your financial assets from potential fraudsters. Just as neglecting to invest in robust security measures could leave your finances vulnerable to theft, overlooking or minimizing the importance of threat management could expose your health system’s sensitive patient information to cybercriminals. […]
Understanding SIEM, MDR, and XDR in Healthcare
New cybersecurity innovations continue to fill the market each year as organizations attempt to stay ahead of threat actors. Sifting through all the options to find the solutions that best fit your healthcare organization’s needs can be a confusing and time-consuming challenge. Compounding the issue are the increasing pressures from cyber insurance providers and governing […]
Take This Step to Level Up Your Cybersecurity Program
Penetration testing, or pen testing as it’s often called, is one of the fundamental building blocks for a cybersecurity program. It provides vital information about an organization’s cybersecurity posture and seeks to uncover previously undiscovered vulnerabilities. It also demonstrates the impact of previously known vulnerabilities for more accurate risk assessment. Unfortunately, according to a Ponemon […]
Should You Build or Buy SOC Operations?
Every organization has unique cyber security risks. You can protect your data from external threats by assessing these risks and creating a security plan. Generally, this process involves either building an internal Security Operations Center (SOC) or partnering with a Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP). What Factors Are Involved with Building a SOC? Some businesses […]
3 Things to Add to your Healthcare Vulnerability Threat Management
The goal of a cybersecurity in healthcare isn’t to deploy more tools or gather data. It’s to protect patients and their personal health information (PHI). While cybersecurity teams have an array of options available to combat cyberattacks, the abundance of choices can make it overwhelming to determine the most suitable solution for an organization. The […]
Take Control of your Healthcare Security with Threat Hunting
What is threat hunting? Similar to how early detection and prevention are crucial to maintaining patient health, threat hunting plays a critical role in identifying potential cyber threats and breaches before they occur. Within a Security Operations Center (SOC), threat hunters systematically search through an organization’s network, system, and data logs to identify any anomalies […]
How Health Systems Can Reduce their Attack Surface with VTM
What is attack surface management? Think of your attack surface as a fortress with multiple entry points. Each entry point represents a system or network weakness that could potentially be breached by an intruder. These weaknesses, like outdated patches, misconfigurations, and traditional vulnerabilities, serve as open doors or unguarded walls that can be exploited by […]
Living Off the Land Attacks: Unveiling the Illusion
When a threat actor performs a “Living Off the Land” (LOTL) attack, they use legitimate tools and processes within a system to carry out nefarious activities. Unlike traditional malware, LOTL tactics don’t rely on external malicious code; instead, they exploit what’s already in the environment. It’s like a magician transforming ordinary objects into confounding illusions. […]
How a Continuous SOC Protects Healthcare Data
The rise in cyber threats coupled with the complexity of healthcare IT infrastructure calls for a proactive approach to cybersecurity in healthcare. Many organizations are turning to Managed Security Services Providers (MSSPs) to establish and maintain a continuous Healthcare Security Operations Center (SOC). Let’s delve into why and how an MSSP-driven cybersecurity SOC is vital […]
