Fortified Health Security is honored to receive Frost & Sullivan’s 2024 North America Customer Value Leadership Award in healthcare cybersecurity. This recognition highlights Fortified’s dedication to delivering strategic cybersecurity solutions that help healthcare organizations strengthen their defenses and navigate today’s evolving threat landscape.

Recognized for Excellence in Healthcare Cybersecurity

Frost & Sullivan presents the Customer Value Leadership Award to organizations that demonstrate outstanding performance in innovation, market leadership, and customer value. Fortified’s recognition underscores its ability to provide security leaders with the tools and insights needed to enhance their cybersecurity posture and operational resilience.

“Two fundamental strengths underpin Fortified’s success: a cutting-edge service delivery platform (i.e., Central Command) and an innovative business model that operates in concert,” said Riana Barnard, Best Practices Research Analyst at Frost & Sullivan.

A Strategic Approach to Cybersecurity Management

At the core of Fortified’s approach is its Central Command platform, a comprehensive solution designed to simplify cybersecurity management for healthcare organizations. By providing real-time visibility and actionable intelligence, Central Command helps security teams focus on what matters most, whether that’s risk mitigation, compliance, or operational efficiency.

 

Fortified’s Central Command platform sets itself apart by offering a customized experience, allowing clients to choose how they engage with their cybersecurity services. This tailored approach has led to numerous positive outcomes, including improved client work-life balance and increased employee retention, underscoring Fortified’s commitment to delivering value beyond traditional cybersecurity solutions.

Delivering Measurable Value to Security Teams

Fortified’s tailored solutions ensure that healthcare organizations receive the right level of cybersecurity support based on their unique needs. This commitment to client success delivers tangible benefits, including:

  • Optimized resource allocation: Helping security teams maximize their tools and personnel.
  • Reduced alert fatigue: Streamlining security operations to improve efficiency and response times.
  • Stronger team retention: Providing the necessary support to build and sustain high-performing security teams.

This strategic, high-touch engagement model has contributed to a five-year average employee churn rate of just 5%, well below the industry standard of 15% for managed security service providers (MSSPs).

Securing the Future of Healthcare

Frost & Sullivan’s research highlights the increasing cybersecurity challenges facing healthcare, with 89% of organizations experiencing at least one cyberattack in 2023 and 69% reporting cloud security compromises. With threats continuing to grow in complexity, healthcare organizations need a cybersecurity partner that understands today’s challenges and prepares for the future.

“Fortified empowers organizations with smaller cybersecurity teams to manage their cybersecurity efforts effectively… Unlike most companies that conduct assessments, provide reports, and then disengage, Fortified believes that effective risk management requires high-touch engagement and a client-specific process,” stated Frost & Sullivan.

As healthcare cybersecurity evolves, Fortified remains committed to providing innovative, client-focused solutions that support security leaders in protecting their organizations. This recognition from Frost & Sullivan reinforces Fortified’s role as a trusted partner for healthcare organizations looking to enhance their security strategy.
