The nature of the healthcare industry’s mission poses unique challenges, as the ramifications of cyber attacks reach far beyond financial loss and privacy breaches.
And as technology and smart devices continue to become more prevalent in healthcare, the ‘life and death’ nature of cybersecurity will become increasingly evident.
Lessons have been learned from the global WannaCry attack in 2017, with investment, governance and significant improvements having been implemented in healthcare since that time. For example, in the US, it is now mandated that any organization that handles protected health information (PHI) must ensure that all physical, network and process-related security measures are in place to protect patient data and confidentiality.
To comply with new regulatory and governance procedures, healthcare providers are now expected to conduct regular reviews of processes and networks that handle patient data, together with updates when any new security regulations, changes to the law or technology updates take place. To help organizations comply with compliance standards like HIPAA, Titania can automate the process of vulnerability detection, making it easy to demonstrate compliance and significantly reduce the risks associated with handling patient data.
Nipper helps advanced cyber teams make credible, risk-based decisions to improve network security and protect critical networks against increasingly sophisticated exploits. Nipper’s accurate configuration assessments enables users to detect misconfigurations in routers, switches and firewalls, as well as determining their impact to the network if exploited, the ease of exploitation, and ease of fix - in order to prioritize remediation workflows by risk criticality.
Nipper Enterprise is now providing this capability at scale, enabling the assessment of up to 300,000 devices on an up-to-hourly basis, and the roadmap to automatically remediate vulnerabilities and insecure configurations in order to help organizations establish a defendable network
