Providers servicing patients outside of a hospital face distinct cybersecurity challenges compared to acute care environments. With services provided across a diverse range of settings, supported by multiple third parties, provider groups must develop a cybersecurity program that balances system accessibility and security.
Provider groups continue to grow in size, complexity, and attack surface. Fortified provides Advisory and Threat Defense Services to help you strengthen your cybersecurity posture and improve your resilience across multiple care sites. We have the experience and understanding to support:
The use of smartphones and tablets is ubiquitous in physicians’ offices and post-acute care facilities, often presenting additional challenges to traditional IoMT security protocols. To ensure the confidentiality and integrity of connected patient information on these mobile devices, Fortified provides advanced testing services specifically designed to secure health applications and ensure patient information is protected.
Medical care delivery extends beyond facility walls, elevating the importance of securing remote access. Fortified assesses and implements robust security measures for remote access, including secure VPNs, multifactor authentication, and encryption protocols.
The proliferation of IoT/IoMT devices used by provider groups expands cybersecurity challenges and vulnerabilities. Fortified offers specialized solutions to secure IoT/IoTdevices used in patient monitoring and care, including robust access controls, regular device monitoring, and encryption protocols to mitigate risks associated with connected devices.
The widespread use of legacy systems in healthcare presents inherent security risks, efficiency issues, and technology integration challenges. Fortified conducts thorough security assessments of existing systems, identifies vulnerabilities, and provides guidance on upgrading or securing these legacy systems without disrupting critical healthcare services.
The decentralized nature of provider groups present unique challenges when effectively addressing cyber incidents. Fortified personalizes our incident response expertise to minimize the impact of incidents in dynamic environments where healthcare delivery extends beyond facility walls.
Diverse workforces in provider settings often have varying levels of technical proficiency and uneven security mindsets. Fortified tailors its cybersecurity training to meet these varied needs and skillsets, designing them to enhance every team member’s ability to recognize and counteract cyber threats.
